What to Look for in an Industrial Router
Discover the six key features to look for when cho...
The NB1601 industrial router designed with an embedded four-port Fast Ethernet switch, can serve as the centerpiece of your remote LAN. This rugged gateway is the perfect solution for your stationary condition monitoring and telemetry/IoT applications.
The integrated 802.11abgn WiFi radio adds further capability to your remote LAN. And the internal Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), which accommodates GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and BeiDou, can be used to pinpoint the NB1601 on any GIS application.
Dual SIM cards enable high availability in remote locations by accommodating two wireless WAN links (LTE/UMTS/GSM) from four different providers. This guarantees you high speed Internet access anywhere and in any environment.
The NB1601 includes an RS-232/485 combination serial interface, as well as isolated digital inputs and digital relay outputs, for all your remote management needs. It comes with embedded Linux-based routing software that supports a wide range of routing protocols including Mobile IP, OSPF, BGP and RSTP.
- A VPN protocol suite that enforces security for remote devices
- Quality of Service (QoS) so you can optimize network bandwidth
- A USB port which allows fast configuration (EasyDeploy) and firmware update via memory stick
- DIN rail mounting
- Durable metal housing suitable industrial environments with a temperature range of -40 °C to 70 °C
