NetComm 4G LTE Cat 6 Industrial IoT Router with Dual Band WiFi

Model # NTC-400 Series

The NetComm 4G LTE Cat 6 Industrial IoT Router with Dual Band WiFi (NTC-400) creates high speed and reliable data connectivity where fixed line connections are either unavailable or not suitable for the application. The NTC-400 creates high speed dual band WiFi hotspots in public transport, streams HD video from multiple surveillance cameras simultaneously, tracks vehicles using GPS, and supports countless other bandwidth-intensive IIoT applications in real time.

KEY BENEFITS

IMPROVED CONNECTIVITY
The NTC-400 supports 4G LTE Cat 6 to deliver the highest speed possible. External antennas with high gain reception make the device ideal for installation at the fringe of the network. The high-speed dual band WiFi and integrated hotspot functionality allow the NTC-400 to provide public Internet access when necessary.

CONFIGURABLE POWER MANAGEMENT SCHEME
Ignition sensing interface and timer-based activation are ideal for vehicular and power constrained environments, allowing the NTC-400 to wake up only when needed, complete the required process and return to low power sleep mode.

REMOTE MANAGEMENT
Supporting industry leading protocols, the NTC-400 is easy to integrate into the existing remote management platform. A built-in event notification, remote configuration and troubleshooting via SMS makes it faster and easier to manage a large fleet of devices.

ENHANCED RELIABILITY
To endure harsh industrial and automotive environments, the NTC-400 features a robust enclosure made from steel and extruded aluminium. Electrical components have been carefully selected to allow the device to operate at extreme temperatures for many years without fail.

APPLICATIONS

Surveillance cameras
WiFi in a bus
Smart fleet tracking
Digital signs
Network fringe installation
Business continuity for point of sales systems
Temporary offices

KEY FEATURES
