CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
Introduction to your Router
Congratulations on your purchase of the BEC 6500 series router (4G/LTE Enterprise Multi-Service
Router). The BEC 6500 series is a 4G/LTE Multi-Service with 11ac High Power Router – featuring a
Dual-WAN interface (4G/LTE and GigaConnect® Ethernet WAN), 4-port Gigabit Ethernet Switch,
USB 2.0, 802.11ac dual-band Wi-Fi access point, Hotspot, Voice ports, dynamic routing and a robust
Firewall security. The BEC 6500 series offers mobile 4G/LTE service with multiple speed rate from
100Mbps up to 600Mbps in downlink and 50Mbps to 150Mbps in uplink and also support a variety of
fixed broadband connections types, including ADSL2+ / VDSL2 / FTTH / Cable modems, with data
rates reaching up to 1Gbps.
A well-designed GUI offers administrators / home owners a simple and easy way to secure and mange
networks through many advanced features. Equipped with11ac and dual bands technologies with
high transmit RF power on both frequency bands, the BEC 6500 series is capable to provide
simultaneous dual band connections with dedicated Wi-Fi streams for specific network applications
and extend Wi-Fi signal providing outstanding range and coverage throughout the home or office.
4G/LTE and Fixed Broadband Service Ready
The BEC 6500 series provides 4G/LTE mobile and gigabit wired Ethernet WAN interfaces and is
featuring an auto-failover to ensure maximum Internet accessibility with minimum service interruption.
This seamless automatic failover with traffic prioritization in the event of an Internet connectivity failure
of the primary WAN interface, traffic is automatically redirected to the secondary WAN interface within
seconds. This functionality operates regardless of whether the primary connection is LTE or a wired
connection.
New Experience with Wi-Fi Speed and Coverage
BEC 6500 support a link rate up to 300Mbps in 2.4GHz frequency range & 866Mbps in 5GHz range
and is also backward compatible with existing 802.11 a / b / g / n wireless equipment in the network.
The Wireless Protected Access (WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK) and Wireless Encryption Protocol (WEP)
features enhance the level of transmission security and access control over Wireless LAN. The BEC
6500 also supports the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) standard for easy and secure establishment of a
wireless home network. If the user’s network requires wider coverage, the built-in Wireless Distribution
System (WDS) repeater function expands the wireless network without needing any external wires or
cables.
Wi-Fi Hotspot with Captive Portal
BEC 6500 offer Wi-Fi hotspot to share the Internet connection via mobile (4G/LTE) or a wired
connection, an existing FTTH, cable, DSL network or modem, with any wireless-enabled devices
which is completed separate from the private Wi-Fi network. The captive portal enables highly secure
connectivity with multiple authentication options and extensive controls for access and bandwidth
management. Customization options allow for operator logos, branding or advertisement placement.

Cost Saving
Making VoIP calls is extremely simple; just connect the router with your existing analog telephones.
BEC 6500 series complies with the most popularly adopted VoIP standard and SIP protocol to ensure
interoperability with SIP devices and major VoIP Gateways. This router also supports a wider range of
telephony features, such as Call Waiting, Conference, Speed Dial, Return Call, Redial, etc.
4G/LTE Management Center
The Mobile Management Center visually displays its current 4G/LTE signal status also calculates the
total amount of hours or data traffic used per month, allowing you to manage your 4G/LTE monthly
subscriptions.
IPv6 Supported
Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is a version of the Internet Protocol that is designed to succeed IPv4.
IPv6 has a vastly larger address space than IPv4. The router is already supporting IPv6, you can use it
in IPv6 environment no need to change device. The dual-stack protocol implementation in an
operating system is a fundamental IPv4-to-IPv6 transition technology. It implements IPv4 and IPv6
protocol stacks either independently or in a hybrid form. The hybrid form is commonly implemented in
modern operating systems supporting IPv6.
Quick Start Wizard
Support a WEB GUI page to install this device quickly. With this wizard, simple steps will get you
connected to the Internet immediately.
Firmware Upgradeable
Device can be upgraded to the latest firmware through the WEB based GUI.
