Industrial Modems & Routers

Industrial modems receive information from an Internet Service Provider (ISP) through phone lines (DSL), coaxial cables or optical fiber and converts it into a digital signal. This digital signal can now be utilized by an industrial router to get the information to connected devices through Ethernet cables or Wi-Fi. The speed and reliability of the information transmission can vary greatly depending on the type and design of the modem and router.
Industrial modems can use the copper wires of existing phone lines as a cost-effective way to connect to the internet. Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) is a high-quality, reliable broadband connection that permits faster data transmission through a single connection. Very High bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line (VDSL) uses the copper wires or fiber-optic cables in the phone line to deliver some of the fastest download and upload speeds available in the industry.
Industrial leased line modems are designed for use in a private communication channel leased from a common carrier. A leased line is a dedicated, fixed, digital, point to point line for data transfer and can be supplied at various speeds and with various interfaces. Leased line modems interconnect computers, controllers and similar digital equipment up to 10 miles over copper wires.
Industrial cellular routers do not use phone lines, coaxial cables or optical fiber to connect to the internet, instead, they quickly connect to cellular towers that belong to a specific network. Industrial cellular routers contain a cellular modem and offer features such as, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, serial ports, dynamic routing, VPN security and I/O options. These routers are ideal for remote locations where landline access is not available.
