Deploying cellular routers effectively into industrial networks is much more than rugged, reliable hardware – it requires taking intelligence to the absolute edge. Hardware that is carrier-agile, cost-competitive, with the flexible configuration interfaces to fit M2M applications. More importantly than ever, a truly open development platform to build application software, host applications, seamlessly manage network connectivity and securely administer the system.
This is what defines a smart solution.
The versatility of industrial LTE applications requires hardware that is fit for purpose. Your purpose. Advantech offers a comprehensive selection of routers and gateways designed and built in the European Union with the right data speeds, the right interfaces and the rugged specifications required.
The line between a router and an embedded computer is blurring in many applications today and depending on the processing power required, an intelligent router is significantly more cost effective than an embedded computer. New data demands for IIoT or operations optimization initiatives also open new questions as to where data is compiled, enriched and processed. With pre-built API’s into selected applications platforms, and an open environment that supports app development in Java, Python, C/C++ and Node Red, you’ll find more flexibility than with any other router on the market. You’re also welcome to check out our app library for available downloads on apps already developed to enhance specific router functionality.
Our smart cellular routers are built and optimized for critical infrastructure applications in the most challenging and remote locations and environments. The simplified plug-and-play design with extensive remote management enables you to quickly configure, deploy and customize your installation from anywhere over an IP network.
We just released a new version of R-SeeNet, which fixes multiple high-severity security vulnerabilies and also a bug in the Windows version installer. We encourage all R-SeeNet users to upgrade.
R-SeeNet is the software system used for remote monitoring of Advantech cellular routers. For more information, please see the R-SeeNet website.
