1. Product Overview

1.1 Product Introduction

Industrial cellular router ICR-2734 is designed for wireless communication in mobile networks 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, which may have a metal or plastic box, is equipped with two independently conﬁgurable

Ethernet ports, two Mini SIM slots (2FF), main and diversity cellular antenna connectors, with one USB

2.0 host interface and with LEDs for status indication. The router can be equipped with a dual-band 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 provides diagnostic functions, which include automatically monitoring the PPP connection,

automatic restart in case of connection losses, Low Power Mode and hardware watchdog that monitors

the router status.

The router supports VPN tunnel creation using various protocols to ensure safe communications. The

router provides diagnostic functions which include automatic monitoring of the wireless and wired connec-

tions, automatic restart in case of connection losses, and a hardware 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 de-

veloped 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

• mobile ofﬁce

• ﬂeet management

• security system

• telematic

• telemetric

• remote monitoring

• vending and dispatcher machines

1. Product Overview 1.2 Product Usage Examples

Backed up access to the Internet (from LAN)

• This example illustrates the function of backing up the access to the Internet for a cellular router.

• The access can be backed up by a PPPoE connection, Ethernet wired connection, or by WiFi (for

models supporting WiFi).
