How to select a IoT 4G/5G router?

When choosing the right IoT 4G/5G router, customers need to consider multiple aspects to ensure that the selected product can meet their specific needs. Here are some key factors to help you make a wise choice among E-Lins Communication's products.

1. Networks supported by the product

When choosing a router, first confirm the type of network it supports. Our products cover 2G, 3G, 4G LTE and 5G, which can adapt to different application scenarios.

For example:

H685f and H900f: support 5G, 4G, 3G, suitable for occasions requiring high-speed data transmission, suitable for large-volume data transmission and real-time monitoring. Among them, H900 supports dual-card routers.

And models such as H685, H720, H820 support 4G, 3G and 2G.

We ensure that the router matches the network coverage in your area for the best network performance.

2. Product interface

Different application scenarios have different requirements for interfaces. Our routers provide a variety of interface options, including:

RJ45 interface: suitable for wired connection to ensure stable data transmission.

RS232/RS485 interface: supports the connection of industrial equipment, suitable for applications requiring serial communication.

USB interface: provides additional expansion functions, suitable for occasions where external devices need to be connected.

For example, H720, H820 and H900 all provide up to 5 network ports, suitable for environments where multiple devices need to be connected to the Internet. In addition, most models support RS232/RS485 interfaces.

3. Software level

In terms of software functions, the management and configuration capabilities of the router are also important considerations. Our products support a variety of protocols and functions,

Such as:

VPN support: including PPTP, L2TP, IPsec, etc., to ensure the security of data transmission.

Remote management: remote configuration through web pages, Telnet, SSH command line, E-Lins NMS, etc., to facilitate user management.

Load balancing and backup functions: support multiple WAN connection methods (such as Cell/WiFi/wired) to ensure high availability of the network.

For example, the H900 router supports dual-band WiFi and multiple WAN mutual backup, suitable for application scenarios requiring high reliability.

4. Other considerations

Power supply support: Our products support 5V-40V voltage by default, and can optionally support 5V~60V wide voltage input, which is suitable for a variety of power supply environments. E-Lins products also support PoE function, which can be powered through the RJ45 network port.

Environmental adaptability: If your application scenario is outdoors or in harsh environments, choose IP68 waterproof and dustproof products, such as H820QO, to ensure the stability and durability of the equipment.

Size and installation method: Choose the appropriate body size and installation method according to the space limitations of the actual site to ensure that the product can be installed smoothly and operate normally. For example, the H685 series 4G/5G router is compact and suitable for embedded applications.

When choosing E-Lins' IoT 4G/5G router, you need to comprehensively consider factors such as network support, interface type, software functions, and other environmental adaptability. By analyzing these key factors, you can choose the product that best suits your needs and ensure the smooth operation of your IoT application. For more information, please consult us.
