How to choose a 4G industrial router correctly?

  The 4G industrial router is designed with an industrial-grade design method, so it is also used in the industrial industry in most cases to ensure stable and reliable data transmission. It is an industrial-grade multi-functional IoT terminal device.

    There are many manufacturers of industrial routers on the market. In recent years, many medium-sized enterprises rooted in the Internet of Things industry have been newly added in China. Therefore, various inconsistent 4G industrial routers have also been produced, which has caused difficulties for users to choose. How to choose a 4G industrial router correctly, that brand is better, and the product is better, is a problem faced by all users. The editor of Yuncheng Electronics will lead everyone on how to correctly choose an industrial router suitable for their project.

    1. How to choose a 4G industrial router correctly?

    1. Choose from function

    The role selection of 4G industrial routers is similar to the selection of application areas, all of which are based on the selection of 4G routers suitable for the main parameters according to project regulations. If there is a requirement for a unique role, you can also choose to customize the product.

    2. Choose from the application area

    Now that it is the choice of the 4G industrial router model, then the home-installed wireless router is not considered. The application field of the industrial router is based on the project's regulations, and it is enough to select a 4G industrial router whose main parameter index values are matched. For example, in the outdoor industrial production projects in the Northeast, the winter temperature in the Northeast is about minus 20°C-40°C. All normal work must be done at that temperature and a 4G industrial router with a wider temperature range must be selected.

    If the 4G industrial production wired router is used in the intelligent bus system software, and the data information transmission rate and socket requirements are relatively high, then the machinery and equipment with a relatively high transmission rate shall be selected.

    3. Choose from the operator

    From the perspective of operators, 4G industrial routers can be divided into mobile 4G industrial routers, China Unicom 4G industrial routers, telecom 4G industrial routers, and full Netcom 4G industrial routers. Generally, industrial routers with five-mode and twelve-band (Mobile Unicom 2G/4G/4G, Telecom 4G) are suitable for most projects. The style of each frequency band of the operators matches the following table:

    4. Choose from the amount of belt machine

    The key to the selection of the amount of machines is based on the specific business scale of the project and the total number of machines and equipment on the Internet. Generally, in the natural environment of a large shopping mall, there are many connected machines and equipment, and a wireless router with a higher amount of machines must be selected. If it is not very demanding, 24 wireless network intervention machines and equipment can consider most industrial production projects.

    5. Choose from interface

    Computer interfaces are generally WLAN ports, LAN ports, 4G sockets, and even serial communication (RS242485422) options, depending on whether the sockets are considered project requirements. For example, some industrial routers do not have serial communication, so the project must not be considered for internal serial communication to connect to the network; some projects do not need too many WAN ports, and can choose a fewer WAN port wireless route, which is more cost-effective.
