IPS-231 Wifi Router Pro

Product role

Local and remote connectivity in one industrial router

IPS-231 combines mobile WAN, local Ethernet, serial field devices and optional Wi-Fi access in one remotely managed network node

Typical applications

Industrial network node with multiple access methods

Mobile WAN, Ethernet, serial communications and Wi-Fi are provided in the same managed device

Industrial IoT and PLC

Mobile access to Ethernet and serial controllers.

Smart grid and substation

Protected connectivity between field equipment and central systems.

Video surveillance

Mobile backhaul with on-site Ethernet connectivity.

Remote device access

Web- and SSH-based operation of on-site systems.

Local Wi-Fi

Optional access point for field users and devices.

Key capabilities

From field interfaces to 5G RedCap

A broad radio portfolio is complemented by industrial routing, security and central supervision

5G RedCap option

3GPP Release 17 SA, Sub-6 GHz, with theoretical rates up to 220/120 Mbps.

Multiple LTE variants

LTE-A Category 6, Category 4, LTE 450, Category 1 and LTE-M/NB-IoT options.

Ethernet and serial I/O

Three LAN, one LAN/WAN, RS-232 and RS-232/485.

Network security

TPM, device certificate, RADIUS, firewall, VPN, VLAN and QoS.

Central management

Web UI, SSH, SNMP, LwM2M and Intelliport M2M Platform.

GNSS option

GPS, GLONASS, BDS and Galileo positioning.

Technical specification

Radio, interface and enclosure variants

Project-relevant options are compared in separate specification groups
