1. Product Overview

1.1 Product Introduction

Industrial cellular router ICR-2437 is designed for wireless communication in the mobile

networks that make use of traditional cellular technologies.

Industrial cellular router ICR-2437 is designed for wireless communication in LTE 450 MHz

networks as well as in standard 4G public European LTE networks. LTE 450 MHz brings

deeper LTE signal penetration than standard 4G public LTE frequencies and is ideal for Indus-

trial IoT and critical infrastructure applications.

The ICR-2437 offers a unique design supporting both LTE 450 MHz bands B31 and B72

in one single router unit. Router gateway construction provides state-of-the-art 450 MHz RF

front-end design with excellent RF performance. In addition to LTE 450 MHz great perfor-

mance, it allows users to communicate in standard high-speed public LTE networks (LTE

Cat.4) with download speed up to 150 Mbps and upload speed up to 50 Mbps.

The router is equipped with two independently conﬁgurable Ethernet ports,RS232 and

RS485 serial ports and with one digital input together with one digital output.

The router supports VPN tunnel creation using various protocols to ensure safe commu-

nications. The router provides diagnostic functions which include automatic monitoring of the

wireless and wired connections, automatic restart in case of connection losses, and a hard-

ware watchdog that monitors the router status.

With open Linux platform and wide possibilities of programming customer SW applications

in Python,C/C++. The Advantech existing app library Router Apps (User modules) with

apps already developed to enhance speciﬁc router functionality including industrial protocol

conversions and support of IoT platforms such as MS Azure,Cumulocity,ThingWorx, and

others are supported on the router.

Examples of possible applications
