3.1. Product Description
The Ibex-RT-330 is an EN50155 LTE router, developed for demanding industrial and railway
applications. It makes full use of the 3G and 4G cellular networks.
The device utilizes a high performance GNSS receiver with concurrent reception of up to 3
GNSS signals from GPS, Galileo, GLONASS or BeiDou systems.
Figure 3. Ibex-RT-330 block diagram
The Westermo configuration management tool, WeConfig, can be used for discovery and
basic configuration and maintenance. The configuration can be done via SNMP or via
WebGUI. The status information is available in local LED status indicators, and through
SNMP/WebGUI.
The Mobile Communication Gateway router is designed to withstand tough onboard
environmental conditions and can be remotely managed using web browser or SNMP
management tools.
Integrating hardware, software and network design support tools, this router platform
offers advanced capabilities, the lowest total cost of ownership and will create the most
reliable and resilient networks.
The router is engineered to maintain uninterrupted data communication, even in
exceptionally harsh environments. Tested and certified to withstand extreme temperatures,
vibrations and shocks, these routers only use industrial grade components which
contributes towards a market leading mean time between failure (MTBF), maximized
service life, and reduced operational and life cycle costs.
