Advantech ICR-3200 Industrial IoT LTE Router & Gateway

Advantech ICR-3200 Industrial IoT LTE Router and Gateway is the perfect way to connect IP or serial devices to a cellular network. Industrial M2M and IoT applications include kiosks, industrial PCs, HMIs, traffic controllers, meters, UPS systems, and much more. With LTE Cat.4 upload speeds of up to 50Mbps and download speeds of up to 150Mbps, the router provides ample bandwidth for high data demand applications such as CCTV or public Wi-Fi hotspots. In addition to its two independent or switched Ethernet ports, serial ports RS-232 and RS-485, ICR-3200 has built-in digital I/O connectivity, backup real-time clock, and sleep mode support. The device has two SIM readers protected by a metallic cover for carrier failover redundancy. As an addition, the router is ready to use internal eSIM.

An optional built-in GNSS chipset provides information about the accurate position of the router. An optional built-in Wi-Fi® module is also available, with 802.11a, b, g, n, ac modes, and MO-MIMO support, which is appropriate for onboard Wi-Fi transport applications. The router supports VPN tunnel creation using various protocols to ensure safe communications. The router provides diagnostic functions, which include automatic monitoring of the wireless and wired connections, automatic restart in case of connection losses, and a hardware watchdog that monitors the router's status.

The Advantech ICR-3200 places intelligence at the network edge with an extremely powerful Cortex A8 CPU at 1GHz, 512MB RAM, and 4GB EMMC FLASH memory in pSLC mode for long-lifetime and critical industrial applications. 1.3GB of memory space is allocated for customer SW applications and data. With an open Linux platform and wide possibilities of programming customer SW applications in Python, C/C++, or browser-based flow editor Node-RED, the ICR-3200 offers a real open development platform for Industrial IoT applications. The Advantech existing app library (User modules) with apps already developed to enhance specific router functionality, including industrial protocol conversions and support of IoT platforms such as MS Azure, Cumulocity, ThingWorx, and others, are supported on the router.
