1. Overview ​

Y201-G is the 4G Cat.1 model in the Y201 mini DTU family. It bridges serial devices to cellular networks and supports nationwide 4G connectivity, wide-range power input, and four transparent Socket channels. The device supports TCP, UDP, HTTP, MQTT, peer-to-peer transmission, SMS transparent transmission, and Modbus polling with JSON reporting.

ItemDescription
PositioningIndustrial 4G Cat.1 serial DTU
Power Input9 to 36 VDC wide-range input
Serial InterfaceRS232 / RS485 / TTL, depending on model
Cellular NetworkLTE Cat.1
Socket Channels4 channels per serial port: A / B / C / D
ConfigurationConfig tool, serial AT, network AT, SMS AT

Highlights ​

  • Compact housing for easy integration into control cabinets and edge devices
  • Four concurrent Socket channels for multi-platform data access
  • SMS transparent transmission, transparent AT, and offline cache for weak-network scenarios
  • Hardware and software watchdogs with self-recovery logic
  • Modbus active polling and JSON reporting to reduce platform-side parsing work
