1. Product Overview
1.1 Product Introduction
The ICR-4434 is LTE Advanced Cat 12 Router & Powerful Edge Computing Gateway
focused on the global market.
Thanks to the ultra high-speed of data transfer, up to 600 Mbps for download and 150
Mbps for upload, is this router an ideal solution for demanding IoT applications such as
industrial routers and gateways, digital signage, industrial computers, and tablets, etc.
Two antennas, the main ANT and the diversity DIV, are intended for the cellular network.
An antenna for GNSS can be connected to the router. The router, assembled in a robust metal
box, is equipped with five 1Gb Ethernet ports, one SFP cage together with interfaces of
RS232,RS485,CAN bus, two binary inputs and two binary outputs. To backup the cellular
connection, the router offers two SIM card readers on the rear side of the router under the
SIM cover. A microSD card can be inserted under this cover as well. The designated router
models can be equipped with a WiFi module with 3x3 MIMO antennas.
Configuration of the router may be done via a password-protected Web interface. Web in-
terface provides detailed statistics about the router’s activities, signal strength, detailed system
log etc. The router supports VPN tunnels using IPSec (), OpenVPN,GRE,L2TP or PPTP to
make sure safe communication. IPv6 Dual Stack,DHCP,NAT,NAT-T,DynDNS,DNS proxy,
VLAN,QoS,NTP,VRRP, control by SMS, port forwarding, primary connection backup and
many other functions are supported.
The router provides diagnostic functions which include automatically monitoring the PPP
connection, automatic restart in case of connection losses, and a hardware watchdog that
monitors the router status.
The user may insert Linux scripts which are started on various actions. It is possible to
create up to four different configurations for the same router. These configurations can be
switched when necessary via Web interface, SMS or binary input status.
The router can automatically upgrade its configuration and firmware from your central
server. WebAccess/DMP and WebAccess/VPN remote device management platforms are
supported as well.
