Industrial router ICR-2031 for communication in 4G/LTE networks
The Advantech ICR-2031 industrial LTE router is designed for reliable wireless communication in LTE networks. With LTE Cat.4 certification, it achieves high data transfer speeds of up to 150 Mbps (downlink) and 50 Mbps (uplink). It is an ideal choice for deployment in areas with 4G coverage, where, when utilising 20 MHz contiguous spectrum, it ensures stable and fast data connectivity.
Typical use cases of the ICR-2031
This industrial 4G LTE router is an optimal solution for Internet of Things (IoT) and M2M communication in applications such as self-service kiosks, transportation systems, UPS backup power supplies, and large-scale sensor networks.
Compact interfaces and advanced security
- Local connectivity: The device is equipped with one Ethernet (10/100 Mbps) port for high-speed data transmission.
- Peripheral integration: Digital inputs and outputs (1× DI, 1× DO) enable direct connection to sensors and other industrial components.
- Secure transmission: Maximum data protection is ensured through broad support for VPN protocols used to create encrypted data tunnels.
- Automatic operation recovery: Intelligent real-time diagnostics monitor the connection and initiate an automatic restart in the event of a failure.
- Hardware stability: An integrated watchdog continuously monitors system status and ensures reliable operation.
ICR-OS operating system and expandability
The router runs on the Linux-based ICR-OS operating system. This open platform allows developers to create custom software applications in C/C++. Standard firmware functionality can be easily extended using the freely available RouterApps library, which includes ready-made applications designed to enhance specific router functions in industrial environments.
