LTE routers for industrial and maritime use: A detailed evaluation
LTE routers for industrial and maritime use offer reliable connectivity in harsh environments such as extreme temperatures, high dust levels and high humidity. In addition, these special models not only provide a robust internet connection via mobile networks, but also improved data security through VPN, remote management and support for various industrial communication protocols. But which LTE routers are recommended for industrial and maritime use and what should you look out for?
LTE router in industrial use
LTE routers that have been specially developed for industrial and maritime use are ideal for this purpose. For example, use on the high seas poses special challenges, such as sea salt, moisture and seamless connectivity under changing conditions. Here are specific criteria to consider when selecting routers for maritime applications, including protection against corrosion from salt water seamless roaming between different networks and GPS/GLONASS positioning for vessel tracking. Routers should support these functions as standard to ensure precise navigation.
