1. Product Overview
1.1 Product Introduction
Industrial cellular router ICR-2041 is designed for wireless communication in mobile net-
works that use traditional cellular technologies and is focused on the North American (NAM)
market.
The primary purpose of this router is its use in the Category 4 (Cat.4) services on the
cellular LTE network. Cat.4 rated router is capable of achieving typical speeds in 4G coverage
areas where the network is enabled with 20 MHz of contiguous spectrum. The peak downlink
data rate for Category 4 is approximately 150 Mbps. In the uplink, LTE Category 4 provides
a peak data rate of 50 Mbps.
The router is equipped with one Ethernet port and with one digital input together with
one digital output.
The router supports VPN tunnel creation using various protocols to ensure safe commu-
nications. The router provides diagnostic functions which include automatic monitoring of the
wireless and wired connections, automatic restart in case of connection losses, and a hard-
ware watchdog that monitors the router status.
With open Linux platform and wide possibilities of programming customer SW applications
in Python,C/C++. The Advantech existing app library Router Apps (formerly User modules)
with apps already developed to enhance specific router functionality including industrial pro-
tocol conversions and support of IoT platforms such as MS Azure,Cumulocity,ThingWorx,
and others are supported on the router.
