Key benefits of the icom Router Managements
Central control
The entire router fleet can be managed via a single interface – across locations, audit-proof and efficiently.
Security by design
Secure firmware updates, audit capability with full change tracking, and integrated certificate management for maximum cyber resilience.
Efficiency & scalability
Bulk processes, APIs and automation save time and reduce operating costs as the fleet grows.
Added values
Efficient rollouts
Mass deployment of devices using configuration templates and automated update jobs.
Secure remote access
Online status, event logs and diagnostic data can be accessed centrally.
API-first
Thanks to its API-first approach, iRM can be seamlessly integrated into existing IT and operational processes.
Security & compliance
Centralised certificate and patch management ensures secure systems and supports compliance with regulatory requirements.
Automated task scheduling
Updates, backups and restarts can be performed on a scheduled basis and are fully automated.
Container orchestration
Container applications can be rolled out and managed flexibly, securely and centrally on routers.
Updates and configurations with just two clicks
The new icom Router Management
Plan automatic firmware updates by groups and time zones and keep track of live progress at any time. With the new navigation and clear management, controlling your router fleet is now even easier.
Variants for cloud and on-premises
The cloud version is fully operated and administered by INSYS icom, providing the most convenient and efficient solution for most use cases. In critical infrastructure or critical production environments, an on-premises installation in a private network can be a sensible choice, as it offers maximum control and data sovereignty.
Cloud
1 – 20,000 routers
Server

Total cost and profitability: TCO and ROI calculation
How cost-effective is iRM compared with conventional router management?
A practical example with 600 routers over three years illustrates the impact of investing in iRM on total cost of ownership (TCO ) and return on investment (ROI ).
TCO comparison with and without iRM
Sample calculation for 600 routers over 3 years.
| Cost category | Without iRM | Cost | With iRM | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Setup & configuration | 2 h/router × €30/h = €60 | €36,000 | 0.5 h/router × €30/h = €15 | €9,000 |
| Updates & patch management (3×/year/router) | €30/update | €162,000 | €3/update | €16,200 |
| Remote access & fault analysis | 2 incidents/router/year = €60 | €108,000 | €6/router/year | €10,800 |
| Training & admin effort | €2,000/year | €6,000 | €500/year | €1,500 |
| iRM license costs | – | – | €24/router/year | €43,200 |
| Total cost of ownership | ~ €312,000 | ~ €80,700 |
Return on Investment (ROI)
Savings over 3 years:
€312,000 (TCO without iRM) – €80,700 (TCO with iRM) = €231,300
ROI calculation:
(Savings / Investment) × 100 = (€231,300 / €43,200) × 100 ≈ 535%

Examples from industry
In many industries, industrial routers form the backbone of digital infrastructure. icom Router Management helps organisations manage distributed device fleets centrally, securely and efficiently. The following examples illustrate typical use cases where router management plays a key role:
Industry challenge:
Solar power plants and wind farms are usually scattered over a wide area and difficult to access.
Solution with iRM:
Industry challenge:
In transformer stations and decentralised energy points, configurations must be regularly adjusted, documented and managed in a traceable manner.
Solution with iRM:
Industry challenge:
When delivering networked systems, fast and error-free commissioning is crucial.
Solution with iRM:
Industry challenge:
Pump stations are often decentralised and difficult to access.
Solution with iRM:
Industry challenge:
In modern buildings, HVAC systems, access control and building technology must be reliably networked and managed.
Solution with iRM:
Industry challenge:
In many applications, data must be processed locally and systems operated without cloud connectivity.

icom Router Management – Frequently asked questions
How do I get started with icom Router Management?
Simply register here and get started right away.
Is there a trial version?
Yes, iRM can be tested free of charge for 45 days with full functionality.
Do routers need to be configured before testing?
No, only a configuration file needs to be installed. All existing router settings remain completely intact.
Can multiple users work with iRM at the same time?
Yes, any number of users can work simultaneously. The only exception is that the free plan is limited to one user account.
Will configurations be retained when switching to the free plan?
Yes, when downgrading from the basic plan to the free plan, all devices, configurations and jobs will be retained. However, many functions will no longer be available. They can be used again if you upgrade your licence at a later date.
Which router types are compatible with the iRM?
The iRM is compatible with all current INSYS icom routers running icom OS (e.g. MRX, MIRO, SCR and ECR). Devices running INSYS OS are not supported.
How can updates be rolled out with iRM?
Via time-controlled jobs in the portal or fully automated via the REST API. Complex configuration and update processes can also be rolled out and managed in this way.
Is it possible to integrate the iRM into your own systems?
Yes, via the REST API with clearly structured documentation. This enables integration into existing management systems, automated device management and the rollout of configuration changes via central control tools.
Where is my data stored?
In Germany, in an ISO 27001-certified data centre (for cloud users).
Is iRM also available as a local (on premises) solution?
Yes, with the iRM Server, a version is available that can be operated entirely on your own infrastructure. It is particularly suitable for environments with high data protection requirements or isolated networks.
