The Top Considerations When Buying a Industrial Cellular Router
The Industrial Internet of Things injects new vitality and blood into the smart construction of cities. It is the network support and material basis for the intelligent society to be built. Industrial routers, as an important part of it, are the connection mediators between the Internet of Things and the Internet. Nowadays, with the maturity of industrial router technology and the improvement of material performance, industrial routers have been widely used in smart buildings, automated industries, smart transportation, smart power and smart finance, water conservancy, meteorological environmental protection and other fields, and have been well received by the market. With the maturity of the Internet of Things technology, the performance and usage scenarios of industrial routers will gradually improve, providing stable network support and access ports for more applications in the society.
Here are the top five things to consider when buying a Industrial Cellular Router.
Configuration of the interface
Generally speaking, two LAN ports and one WAN port basically meet the needs of general users, but some special cases may use more ports. Therefore, when purchasing, you need to determine whether the equipment meets your needs.
Technical Support
4G industrial routers are not like ordinary routers. Many network technologies such as VPN and port mapping are used. If you are not very familiar with the network, you may encounter such and other problems during use, so we can provide version technology in time. A company that supports, responds quickly to customers is important.
Stability
The stability of the device is very important, which is related to the stability of the entire network data. The device needs to support software restart and hardware watchdog, in the case of unattended operation, to ensure that it can run for a long time without any problems. USR IOT's Industrial Cellular Router has a built-in hardware watchdog, which can automatically detect and repair any failures. The router has multiple protections such as static electricity, surge, and electrical rapid pulse. Its robust industrial design ensures system stability.
The quality of the wireless signal
The quality of the wireless signal will also directly affect the performance of wireless transmission. It is more intuitive to look at the number of antennas. Of course, this is not absolute. The wireless chip is the main factor that determines the signal.
Networking method
Industrial routers are different from ordinary home routers. Industrial cellular routers are mostly used in outdoor industrial sites. When the industrial field signal is unstable and wiring is inconvenient, the various and flexible networking methods of routers can often solve the problem of remote networking in various scenarios. The USR-G806 of USR IOT supports wired or wireless various networking methods.Integrating embedded cellular modem, Cellular routers G806 provides 3G/4G cellular network, Cellular routers also equipped with 2 fast Ethernet ports and supports Wi-Fi access. Features with compact and rugged design it can be used as a reliable failover connection or wireless communication in harsh environment.
