TC Routers The industrial 4G and 5G cellular routers facilitate reliable and high-performance data connections to remote stations via the cellular network – with fallback to 3G and 2G. This means that they can be used anywhere, regardless of which technology provides reliable network coverage at the location. The extended temperature range from -40 to +70°C also means that they can be used in any climate.

The TC ROUTER 5004T-5G EU is the first member of the TC ROUTER family to feature a 5G cellular interface. It is equipped with a powerful processor platform and four Gigabit Ethernet ports to handle the high data rates of 5G (5G NR) and 4G (LTE Advanced Pro).

In addition to use in public networks, you can also set up private networks with the 5G router and thus control the properties and reliability of the 5G network yourself. The advantages of a private network are that you can track, store, analyze, direct, and flexibly configure data traffic in your company to suit your requirements.

As the device with the highest throughput in the family, it is particularly suitable for applications such as video transmission or the transfer of large firmware or configuration files to machines and remote stations.

Thanks to the integrated WLAN interface, the TC ROUTER 4102T-4G EU WLAN can act as an access point and easily integrate surrounding devices into the network via WLAN. Therefore, an additional WLAN access point on the DIN rail is no longer necessary. Moreover, during maintenance, the WLAN network can be used separately from the application to access the Internet. You are therefore no longer dependent on a cellular solution when using a laptop or smartphone.

The TC Router features versatile uplink options on the WAN side. The various options for WAN connectivity and dual SIM capability, thanks to the SIM card and integrated eSIM, make the device particularly failsafe and flexible in use.

With a configurable Ethernet WAN port or as a WLAN client, several connection options can be used for remote communication. In the event of an error, the cellular connection takes over communication, avoiding an interruption of the connection to the remote station. This ensures high availability in critical infrastructure applications such as secondary substations, measuring and switching points for power supply or pumps and elevated tanks in water supply.

The TC ROUTER 3002T-4G GL combines global frequency coverage with local provider and wireless approvals in just one item number. This makes the device ideal for international operators or cross-border projects.

Furthermore, the 3000 series router features a cost-optimized design for connecting a remote station via cellular communication. This makes it a particularly easy-to-operate device in price-sensitive applications.

Typical applications for the device include municipal power providers or the transport sector, such as the connection of traffic light systems, sign bridges, locks, or lighting systems for waterways and aviation.
