A Working Connection Has Five Parts
A router on its own connects nothing. We supply and set up all five, so the site comes online when it is powered.
Find the Router for the Job
Four jobs cover most projects. Pick yours, or ask us to spec it.
Manage Every Router From One Screen
Each router range has its own management platform. All three show every router’s status and signal, alert you when one drops, and update configuration and firmware remotely.
Antennas and SIMs: Half the Connection
Router at height? Mount it inside a Poynting EPNT antenna housing, with only power and Ethernet running back down. View the EPNT-4
Not sure of the signal on site? Test it first with a SNYPER survey tool, which shows every network’s signal at the exact spot. View SNYPER
Private LTE at 450 MHz? The Advantech ICR-2437 covers LTE 450 MHz bands B31 and B72 alongside public 4G. View the ICR-2437
Industrial Router Questions, Answered
Why not use a consumer 4G router?
Because the failure modes are different. A consumer router locks up and waits for someone to reboot it. An industrial router uses a watchdog to recover on its own, fails over to a second SIM, runs from a wide-range DC supply in a cabinet and survives heat and cold. It can also be checked and updated remotely, which matters when the router is far from the office.
How does dual-SIM failover work?
The router holds two SIMs from different networks, for example Vodafone and Three. It monitors the live connection, and when the primary network degrades or drops, it switches to the second SIM automatically and switches back when service returns. Nobody has to visit the site, and the equipment behind the router keeps working. We supply and set up both SIMs before the router ships.
How do I reach equipment behind the router remotely?
Mobile networks do not give routers a reachable public address by default, so remote access runs through a VPN. Our SmartNetVPN gives every site a secure private address that your existing software can reach, so PLCs, cameras and HMIs respond as if they were on the local network. The router makers’ own platforms, RCMS, RMS and WebAccess/DMP, manage the routers themselves.
Can these routers be mounted on DIN rail?
Yes, most of them. Models such as the Robustel R1510 and the Advantech ICR range have DIN-rail mounting, and others fit with a clip-on bracket or mount on a wall or panel. Tell us the cabinet or enclosure and we will confirm the mounting for the model you choose, and supply the bracket with the router if it needs one.
How do I manage a fleet of routers?
Each router range has its own management platform. Robustel routers use RCMS, which is free, Advantech routers use WebAccess/DMP, and Teltonika routers use RMS. Each one shows the status and signal of every router, sends alerts when one drops, and pushes configuration and firmware updates without a site visit. We supply and set up DMP and RMS licences for you.
Should I choose 4G, 5G or 5G RedCap?
4G covers most machine, metering and failover jobs and is the most cost-effective choice. Choose 5G for high-bandwidth sites such as CCTV, digital signage or passenger Wi-Fi. 5G RedCap is a lighter form of 5G for meters and serial equipment, with 4G fallback, and suits sites moving off older networks. Tell us the data use and we will recommend the model.
Do these routers work on Irish networks, and who supports them?
Yes. Every router we supply is set up for Vodafone, Three or Eir before dispatch, with the SIM, APN, antenna and VPN staged in Galway so it comes online when it is powered. TITAN IoT provides pre-sales advice and technical support from Galway on +353 91 757500, and works with the router makers on anything that needs their input.
