Connectivity
-
Cellular: Depending on the model, from 4G LTE (Cat 4, Cat 6, Cat 12) up to 5G (Sub-6 GHz) for future-proof high-speed applications.
-
Dual-SIM (on many models): Enables failover (automatic switching in case of network failure), load balancing, or the use of different data plans.
-
Ethernet: Typically Fast Ethernet (10/100 Mbps) or Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000 Mbps) ports, often configurable as LAN or WAN.
-
WLAN: Often integrated (e.g., 802.11b/g/n or 802.11ac/ax - Wi-Fi 5/6), usable as an Access Point or Client.
-
GNSS: Integrated receiver for location services (GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo).
Interfaces
- In addition to Ethernet/WLAN, often also USB ports (for storage, modems) and serial interfaces (RS232/RS485) for connecting older or industrial devices.
- Some models (e.g., RUTX) offer digital/analog inputs/outputs (I/O) for monitoring sensors or controlling actuators.
Software/Features
- Extensive routing protocols (static, dynamic BGP/OSPF on RUTX), network services (DHCP, DNS, NTP), hotspot functions.
- Strong VPN support (various protocols such as OpenVPN, IPsec, WireGuard etc. are supported - see specific product data sheets if necessary).
- Industrial protocols: Support for Modbus TCP and others (often on RUTX series).
