FAQ Industrial Cellular Router
What are the use cases of Industrial Cellular Routers?
Industrial Cellular Routers are used in a wide range of industrial and infrastructure applications, such as machinery, buildings, solar farms, battery storage, ticket vending machines, and power and water networks. They enable secure communication for local network participants such as controllers, cameras and sensors, either via the public internet or private networks. Typical use cases include M2M communication, remote maintenance, VPN communication and connection to control systems and cloud systems.
Where are industrial cellular routers normally installed?
Industrial cellular routers are installed in electrical control cabinets, small distributors or housings, such as those of vending machines. The routers are usually clicked onto a top-hat rail (DIN rail) or screwed directly to the housing or a bracket, for example in parking machines or charging columns.
What distinguishes industrial cellular routers from home routers?
Lifetime, availability, IT security
Home routers are usually designed for a lifetime of 2-3 years, while LTE industrial routers have a lifetime of 10+ years. Since LTE industrial routers are used in harsh environments, such as control cabinets with temperature fluctuations or increased EMC/vibration, they have to last longer and cannot be replaced as often.
Availability
In industry and infrastructure, high availability of communication is essential. That is why LTE industrial routers are designed for uninterrupted 24/7 operation.
Security – What you need to know about the IT security of industrial cellular routers
Industrial facilities are attractive targets for cyber criminals, which is why LTE Industrial Routers are specifically designed for use in critical infrastructure. The router operating system is hardened and offers features for secure operation. In contrast, home routers do not always offer the same level of security and protection.
