Introduction to your Router
Congratulations on your purchase of the BEC 6900 R21 / RidgeWave 6900 (Outdoor 4G/LTE
Router) known as BEC 4G/LTE ODU.
This unit is a lightweight, an industrial-grade outdoor fixed wireless router with an IP68 rated
enclosure to withstand extreme weather conditions and harsh rugged deployments. With integrated
IEEE802.3at power over Ethernet (PoE) support, the BEC 4G/LTE ODU provides an easy
installation from eliminating the need for a separate power and data cable.
In addition to outdoor, it can be installed in environments such as: manufacturing plants, industrial
automation, stadiums, convention halls, stadium facilities, school campuses or virtually any venue
requiring a robust wireless solution. The BEC 4G/LTE ODU integrates a high-performance device
with an embedded LTE module and advanced IP networking features enabling support of multiple
high bandwidth applications.
Lightweight, Compact and unobtrusive Design
With multiple mounting options and a lightweight, it is easily to install the BEC 4G/LTE ODU by single
person. The BEC 4G/LTE ODU also has a built-in passive Gigabit Power of Ethernet (GPoE) so both
data and power can be sent from the unit.
Designed for Challenging / Rugged Deployments
The BEC 4G/LTE ODU is designed for the toughest industrial environments. With IP68 hardened
enclosure with industrial-grade components, the BEC 4G/LTE ODU can be installed in manufacturing
plants, industrial automation, stadiums, convention halls, stadium facilities, school campuses, etc.
4G/LTE Mobility
With 4G/LTE-based Internet connection (4G/LTE embedded module, requires an additional SIM card),
you can access to the Internet through 4G/LTE whether you are seated at your desk or taking a cross-
country trip.
4G/LTE Management Center
BEC 4G/LTE ODU (4G/LTE Outdoor Router) 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.
