Wireless Routers

Product Features

The Wireless Routers have one RS-232/422/485 Serial interfaces, a integrated EDGE or
HSDPA modem depending on model, dual SIM slots and a single 10/100 Base-T Ethernet
interface.
A Wireless Router is capable of connecting a number of Ethernet devices via GSM/GPRS/
EDGE networks on the Mobile Router, or UMTS/HSDPA networks on the Broadband Router.
With always–on and DUAL SIM card technology they provide easy to deploy access to central
servers and the Internet via GSM networks. The Wireless Routers are capable of maintaining a
permanent PPP connection or alternatively making a connection on demand (dial-on-demand)
to the distant network. It also allows you to dial into an Ethernet network to access devices on
that network or dial out of an Ethernet network to connect to a remote RAS server.
Some of the features supported by the Wireless Routers are:
IP Masquerading, which allows one or more computers in a network without assigned IP
addresses to communicate with the Internet.
Port Forwarding, (sometimes referred to as tunnelling) which is the act of forwarding a network
port from one network node to another, can also be enabled.
The Firewall feature on the Wireless Routers allow you to implement security by setting up
Access Control rules. The Firewall feature allows you to control your connection denying any
unwanted traffic or simply viewing what traffic is passing through the Wireless Routers.
Another feature on the Wireless Routers is a DHCP server to dynamically allocate IP
Addresses to hosts connected to the Ethernet network.
VPN functionality is standard on the Wireless Routers, providing reliable and secure communi-
cation between the Router and your corporate network.
