Purpose
Perle routers provide users, networking equipment as well as M2M & IoT appliances with network
connectivity for fixed locations (i.e. buildings, POS, Kiosks, ...etc) and mobile (i.e. vehicle, trains,
robots) applications. When used in vehicular applications, the router provides connectivity and is not
involved in the operation of the vehicle or direct interaction with the operators.
