At IPD, we understand the pivotal role that modems and routers play in keeping the wheels of the industry turning. Our meticulously curated selection of these critical networking components ensures that your operations remain connected, efficient, and secure.
Modems and routers play distinct, essential roles in networking. Modems, connected to your internet service provider (ISP), serve as data translators, converting digital information into signals for transmission over various channels such as LTE or cellular, Wi-Fi or physical lines. Routers, on the other hand, establish local area networks (LANs), connecting multiple devices to the internet and facilitating device-to-device connections. They are instrumental in creating local networks for seamless file sharing and collaborative work environments.
Industrial routers are robust devices, fortified with durable enclosures and specialized internal components, engineered to endure harsh environmental conditions such as extreme temperatures, moisture, and dust. Their primary function is to establish secure and reliable connectivity through cellular networks. These routers are mandated to deliver a spectrum of capabilities, encompassing rapid response times, port mapping, VPN support, firewall protection, and safeguarding against electrostatic discharge.
Industrial modems bridge the gap between Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and your industrial connected devices, converting incoming data from external sources to an internal network. This digital lifeline is then harnessed by industrial routers, distributing crucial information to connected devices via Ethernet cables or Wi-Fi. The speed and reliability of this data transfer hinge on the modem and router's specific type and design.
Edge routers, strategically positioned at network boundaries, play a pivotal role in facilitating the connection of internal networks to the broader external network landscape. These routers serve as vital components at two critical junctures, the Wide Area Network (WAN) and the expansive realm of the internet.
Cellular modems, a unique category of modems, excel in their ability to transform analog signals like telephone transmissions into formats compatible with cellular networks. These modulated signals facilitate seamless communication between smartphones and similar devices, enabling both voice and data exchanges. In the realm of connectivity, 4G WiFi routers shine with their integrated LTE broadband modems, effectively harnessing the power of a SIM card to extend internet access. The versatility of a 4G router becomes apparent as it transforms any location within your mobile operator's network coverage into a hub for internet sharing.
