GL200

Industrial LTE cellular router

Industrial router that provides cellular IP connectivity to field equipment, with optional serial ports and remote management.

  • LTE with 3G/2G fallback
  • 2 LAN ports
  • Optional RS232/RS485
Hardware Industrial LTE cellular router — GL200

When a remote site has no fiber or ADSL, or a backup link is needed, what's required is a router built for the field, not for an office. The GL200 delivers industrial-grade cellular IP connectivity, with optional serial ports for equipment that still speaks RS232 or RS485, and remote management so a technician doesn't need to visit.

  • Connectivity where there is no fiber

    LTE with automatic 3G/2G fallback: keeps the link active even with limited coverage.

  • Speaks the field equipment's language

    Optional RS232/RS485 serial port for transparent transmission or protocol conversion, with no need to replace existing equipment.

  • Secure end to end

    Native VPN (PPTP, L2TP) and advanced options (OpenVPN, IPSec) for a private channel to the control center.

  • Remotely manageable

    Remote configuration and updates from an M2M platform, with no need to visit the site.
