1. Product Overview

1.1 Product Introduction

Industrial cellular router ICR-2531 is designed for wireless communication in mobile net-

works that use traditional cellular technologies.

The primary purpose of this router is its use in the Category 4 (Cat.4) services on the

cellular LTE network. Cat.4 rated router is capable of achieving typical speeds in 4G coverage

areas where the network is enabled with 20 MHz of contiguous spectrum. The peak downlink

data rate for Category 4 is approximately 150 Mbps. In the uplink, LTE Category 4 provides

a peak data rate of 50 Mbps.

The router is equipped with two independently conﬁgurable Ethernet interfaces (ETH0

switch with 3 ports and ETH1 with one port) and with one digital input together with one

digital output. The router can be equipped with a WiFi module, but this must be part of the

initial conﬁguration – it cannot be assembled to the router at some point in the future.

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 (formerly User modules)

with apps already developed to enhance speciﬁc router functionality including industrial pro-

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

and others are supported on the router.

Examples of possible applications

• mobile ofﬁce

• ﬂeet management

• security system

• telematic

• telemetric

• remote monitoring

• vending and dispatcher machines
