4G Industrial Router, Open Smart Factory, This Is The Key

Blimey, industrial internet’s really shaking things up in manufacturing, isn’t it? Pushing us into this whole Industry 4.0 malarkey. Now, these industrial routers are proper important in connecting all sorts of gadgets and gizmos. Today, I’m going to have a natter about the SR700 4G industrial router – it’s a bit of a powerhouse, this one. How’s it helping factories get smarter and more efficient? Well, let’s dive in and have a butcher’s, shall we?
Appearance The SR700’s a compact little number, built like a brick outhouse with its all-metal industrial design. It’ll take whatever you throw at it, even in the roughest environments. It’s got two SIM card slots, mind, for that hot backup business. And you’ve got five gigabit Ethernet ports and a WAN port – plenty for all your wired needs.

Under the bonnet This router’s got some serious oomph. High-performance routing chip, 128MB of memory, and 32MB of storage. It’s 4G-ready for all networks, works with specialised power grids, and you can even get Wi-Fi if you fancy.
Network performance In our tests, the SR700 was steady as a rock. Wireless download speeds hit 80Mbps, with uploads at 18Mbps. Even with loads of industrial kit connected, it doesn’t break a sweat.
Clever clogs features The SR700’s got some tricks up its sleeve. It can handle Modbus protocol conversion, has DTU capabilities for transparent data transmission, and can even keep an eye on how devices are running.
Reliability This router’s built to last. It’ll keep ticking 24/7, even in the nastiest conditions. It’s got a watchdog feature to reboot itself if needed, and three backup networks to keep your data flowing.

Security The SR700’s got you covered on the security front. VPN encryption, ACL rules, firewall, the works. It’ll keep your industrial network safe as houses.
Management You can manage this router in all sorts of ways – Telnet, SSH, web interface, you name it. It’s got logging, config backups, and you can even update it over the air. Piece of cake to maintain.
Where it shines This router’s perfect for setting up rock-solid wireless networks in factories. Connect handheld devices, gather data from sensors, hook up CCTV for inspections, or link up with PLCs and DCS for process monitoring. It’s a proper cornerstone for smart manufacturing, this.
The verdict All in all, the SR700 is a cracking 4G industrial router. It’s tough as old boots, keeps your critical operations running no matter what, speaks all the right industrial languages, and is a doddle to manage remotely. For less than a grand, you can set up a stable, secure, and smart wireless network. If you’re in the industrial game, it’s well worth a look.

I reckon this SR700 will be key in making factories smarter. It’s an essential bit of kit in the industrial internet setup.
