OWL 4G Europe is an industrial cellular router intended for the market in Europe, Middle
East and Africa (EMEA) area. This router is an ideal device for wireless communication in
mobile networks that make use of LTE, HSPA+, UMTS, EDGE or GPRS technology. Due to
the high speed of data transfer up to 150 Mbps (download) and up to 50 Mbps (upload) is this
router an ideal solution for specialized M2M devices and IoT as well as for wireless connection
of traffic and security camera systems, individual computers, LAN networks, automatic teller
machines (ATM) and other self-service terminals.
The standard configuration includes two Ethernet 10/100 ports, serial line RS232, RS485,
one binary input and one output. The device also has two readers for 3 V and 1.8 V SIM
cards, which are located on the left panel of the router. The router can be equipped with a WiFi
module, but this must be part of the initial configuration – it cannot be added to the router at
some point in the future. The router can be provided only in a metal casing.
Configuration of the router may be done via a password-protected Web interface. Web in-
terface provides detailed statistics about the router's activities, signal strength, detailed system
log etc. The router supports the creation of VPN tunnels using IPSec, OpenVPN and L2TP to
ensure safe communication. DHCP, NAT, NAT-T, DynDNS, NTP, VRRP, control by SMS, backup
primary connection and many other functions are supported.
The router provides diagnostic functions which include automatically monitoring the PPP
connection, automatic restart in case of connection losses, and a hardware watchdog that
monitors the router status. The user may insert Linux scripts which are started on various
actions. It is possible to create up to four different configurations for the same router. These
configurations can be switched whenever necessary via Web interface, SMS or binary input
status. The router can automatically upgrade its configuration and firmware from your central
server. This allows for mass reconfiguration of numerous routers at the same time.
