What is the difference between industrial router and civilian router ?

Today, network development has entered the era of IOT, as you have used the civilian routers , are you curious about how industrial router look like and what is the difference between industrial router and civilian router ?

                

Four-Faith industrial router                                                                    Ordinary civilian router

Industrial Router is mainly used in intelligent transportation, environmental monitoring, security monitoring, security and wireless motion detector, industrial data transmission, the financial industry, power industry, water industry, and support -30 ℃ + 75 ℃ wide temperature applications. The civilian router is mainly for home application, so the environmental suitability requirements are not high, the temperature is only required to 0 ~ 55 ℃.

Module configuration and design process

Industrial Router adopts rugged industrial design, IP30 protection, built-in 32-bit high performance industrial grade wireless communication processor module, embedded real-time operating system software support platform, can connect serial devices, Ethernet or WIFI device equipment and so on. This also led to a lot of difference on the price.

Security difference

Industrial Router with a lot more safety rules and more advanced firewall, such as support for APN / VPDN private network, while devices with IPSEC, PPTP, L2TP, GRE, OPENVPN multiple VPN connection with the VPN client, the server, and other functions and so on. Some of the civilian routers are without firewall, data security is low.

Signal stability

Industrial Router provides a reliable network to communicate with the stability of a complex system, in the same environment, a stronger signal sensitivity.

Interface

Industrial Router provides support RS232, RS485, RS422, Ethernet, WIFI, USB and other interfaces at the same time, can connect serial devices, Ethernet equipment and WIFI equipment to achieve transparent data transmission and routing functionality.

The main interfaces of civilian router are WAN, LAN, WIFI and others.

Billing

The most widely used in the industry is wireless router, as shown, with the SIM card support function with flow control, flow records, real-time network speed display.

Civilian wireless router can be treated as a repeater, convert the the home broadband network to signal by the antenna and forwarded to nearby wireless network equipment ( laptop, phone support wifi and all devices with WIFI function ).

Four-Faith full band router--compatible with 7 networks

2014 is the starting year for 4G commercial business in China. During this year, there is an obvious progress in 4G network construction and user development. Every important technical upgrade in mobile communication industry would bring along brand new commercial potential. According to statistics data, China Mobile has more than 200 billion investment in 4G network construction.

Four-Faith always stick to the belief of “smart, standard, secure, reliable” and act accordingly: pursuing better design and application solution, upgrading solution and techniques. After grasping the newest 4G communication technology from domestic and abroad, and after one year on research and testing, we received an upgrade on our industrial wireless router, in function, performance, specification, production, and quality. To further meet market demand and after careful study, Four-Faith puts forward with the newest full band router-F3X36 series. This series is compatible with the major three operators’ network, with more advanced function & performance.

The full band router is a shining product in recent wireless communication industry. Compared with other industrial routers, it is compatible with 4G/3G/2.5G network, including TD-LTE, FDD-LTE, TD-SCDMA, WCDMA, EVDO, CDMA1X and GPRS/EDGE network, able to better meet customers’ diversified requests for their application.

Adapt to customer request, no bother in choosing type in early stage

In IOT application, customers’ projects are always being slow, difficult in consistence, and have high investment and maintainance cost. Difficulties are meet in information construction, like if there is change in project environment or data package, customers would have to change equipment to meet network communication model. While this kind of change would lead to longer system integration, difficulty in changing from old platform to new one, difficulty in upgrading & development, etc., these problems would directly restrict following development in business. Therefore, customers’ favor to industrial router has been changed from depending on techniques and products to business motivation.

Four-Faith full band router is really “seven in one”, meets customers’ changing need to support full band and network, thus free customers from buying different ordinary routers to suit different networks. With just 1 device which supports full network, saving customers’ time and energy on testing in preliminary stage.

Economical data flow, save project budget

Currently, there exist 4G/3G/2.5G network, and this cause difficulty in customers’ choosing devices for projects. With the opening in market and the the competition from virtual operators, domestic telecom charges are becoming lower. Traditional one sim card and dual sim routers once are luxuries for customers due to high data flow charge, now with the advent of Four-Faith full band router, the change in sim cards and their flow charge will no longer be troublesome for customers. Customers are able to switch from one network to another and enjoy the most suitable and favorable flow charge, this will cut down project cost and improving efficiency.

Since the appearance of Four-Faith 3G wireless router, this series has been widely used in transportation, electricity, environmental protection, financial and other industries. The F3X36 series full band router is an embody of Four-Faith products’ width and depth, such breakthrough is not simply the integration in functions, but a structural breakthrough. Four-Faith sticks to innovation under the demand of market, and once again we are leading the major trend of IoT wireless communication industry.
