Gigabox Puma

The All-in-One Connectivity Solution

The GIGABOX Puma from the GIGABOX family is the central hub between multiple in-vehicle bus systems and mobile devices.

Different Tasks – Different Applications

As a development platform, the GIGABOX Puma can be used in a variety of ways. Together with the control unit, we provide comprehensive base software with a user-friendly interface for applications. With the included development environment, you are able to implement the desired functionality yourself using a simple scripting language. We can also provide this service upon request.

Modular Design

The GIGABOX Puma consists of a base module that offers various switches and communication interfaces. Thanks to its modular design, the GIGABOX Puma can be easily expanded to meet specific customer needs—for example, with Bluetooth SMART (BLE).
