What distinguishes industrial routers from home routers?
Lifetime, availability, IT security
Horne routers are designed for a lifetime of 2-3 years and the electrical components are selected accordingly. Under harsher environmental conditions, e.g. temperature fluctuations in control cabinets or increased EMC/vibration, this service life decreases significantly. lndustrial routers have a service life of 10+ years. The use in industry and infrastructure does not allow frequent changes.
Availability
lndustrial applications depend on high availability of communication. The router system is designed for uninterrupted 24/7 operation.
Security -interesting facts about the IT security of industrial routers
Infrastructure and industrial facilities are attractive targets for cyber criminals. The router operating system is specifically designed and hardened for these applications and offers features for secure operation in critical infrastructure.
Is INSYS certified for critical infrastructure?
INSYS has been awarded a Critical Infrastructure Security Certificate for the MRX3-LTE by the German Federal Office for Information Security. Further information on IT security. Regular penetration tests are carried out by an independent body for all products.
Is parallel operation of several VPN tunnels possible?
Both OpenVPN and IPsec tunnels to different remote stations can exist in parallel. The networks are completely isolated from each other and can thus also be used for external participants.
Can I access surveillance cameras remotely?
With a router installed on site and the web proxy f unction of the icom Connectivity Suite, surveillance cameras can be accessed directly in the browser. This does not require a VPN client on the end device.
How and where are industrial routers installed?
Industrial routers are clicked onto a DIN rail in the electrical control cabinet or screwed directly to the housing or a bracket.
In the case of mobile radio routers, the external mobile radio antenna is led out of the control cabinet and mounted on the outside wall of the building.
Which SIM cards are suitable for the water industry?
Most faults in mobile routers can be traced back to SIM cards. For this reason, we offer licensed multiroaming industrial SIM cards at favourable conditions. We have the most experience and test coverage with these SIM cards. All advantages at a glance.
