Cellular Routers

More Information about Cellular Routers

For companies that need top-tier cellular routers, these devices deliver solutions fine-tuned for the most challenging environments. They ensure secure and steady data streams for connected devices that do the same sorts of jobs Wi-Fi does—only better. Cellular routers are vital to maintaining and deploying Wi-Fi networks in a number of settings, including temporary installations, industrial environments, and public safety infrastructure. Whether for sites where the only way forward is to connect by cellular, with no Wi-Fi in sight, or for networks that mix the two technologies, cellular routers help organizations maintain efficient, reliable connections across the network.

FAQs

Can an LTE modem have multiple devices linked to a primary connection while still providing low power consumption in critical industrial applications?

Yes, an LTE modem can support multiple devices connected to a primary connection while maintaining low power consumption, making it ideal for critical industrial applications.

Can LTE routers provide connectivity in remote locations and rural locations?

Yes, LTE routers can provide reliable connectivity in remote locations and rural areas by utilizing cellular networks where traditional wired internet access is unavailable.

Basics of Switches, Routers & Hubs

Ethernet hubs, switches and routers connect computers to networks, devices and other computers. 

Ethernet hubs are the least intelligent of the three devices. They simply take any message that is received and transmits it to every other device connected to that hub. For example, if CPU 1 on a network wants to send a message to CPU 5, it will send that message through the hub.The hub will then take that message and send it out to every connected device on that hub regardless of the intended target. When CPU 5 receives that message and wants to respond, it will send its response through the hub which sends it to every connected device. Ethernet hubs do not manage any data that is sent and tend to bog down networks. They also do not offer much security for the network. For these reasons, Ethernet hubs are are being replaced with network switches.

Switches transmit data from one device to another on the same network. Unlike a hub, switches use a switch table to learn where data came from and where to send it. Switch tables store Mac addresses and device ports. By storing this data, a switch can operate more efficiently than a hub, greatly reducing the traffic within the network.

Routers transfer data between devices while learning the location of those devices within the network. They are also a junction between two or more networks. An example of this would be a home router where the home network is connected to the Internet. Another example would be when the router connects two or more networks with different business functions. In addition to connecting two or more networks, a router offers important security features that help protect the network.
