How stable is 4G industrial router? What's the price?
4G industrial router is an Internet router machine used for industrial production and manufacturing. Relative to the home router we are more familiar with, a lot of people have used their own home router, so how about the stability of 4G industrial router? What's the price?
I. Stability of industrial 4G router:
1. Because it is applied without supervision, the stability of machine equipment is very critical, which affects the stability of all data networks and the completion of functions. Machine equipment must be system upgrade software reboot and hardware watchdog to ensure long-term operation and not out of the situation.
2. Some 4G industrial routers only have two network interfaces, and some are not compatible with serial communication, so the compatibility mode completed by the new project should be fully considered when purchasing. For example, PLC real-time monitoring, in addition to PLC's own jack, it is possible to use touch display screen, video surveillance system, etc., so it is very good to select the industrial 4G router containing multiple network interfaces and serial communication.
II. Price of industrial 4G router:
1. Because of the cost consideration, price is a key factor for many customers to consider. The price is too high, over the cost budget, the customer can not accept. Is the lower the price the better? Not really. The unusually cheap price means that the commodity is likely to be not the choice of industrial grade control module, it may directly affect the stability, can not be due to the low cost of starting and ending products, and the middle and late maintenance cost is expensive, penny wise and pound foolish. Therefore, an affordable industrial-grade 4G router is important.
4G industrial routers are not like ordinary routers. Many new projects use VPN functions, port mapping and other technologies at the Internet level. If you are not very familiar with the Internet, you may encounter such problems in the whole process of application.
