In today's thriving Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) landscape, network connectivity has become the cornerstone for the efficient operation of various industrial devices. Imagine a large factory where countless sensors, controllers, surveillance cameras, and other devices need to transmit data in real-time. If each device were to connect to the network individually, it would not only be costly but also extremely complex to manage. At this point, the function of industrial routers supporting multi-terminal shared exits becomes particularly crucial. This article delves into this topic and recommends a powerful industrial router - PUSR's USR-G806w.
In industrial scenarios, multi-terminal shared exits act like a "network hub," allowing multiple devices to access the Internet or an enterprise's internal network through the same network interface. The benefits of this approach are evident:
So, how do industrial routers achieve multi-terminal shared exits? This relies on a key technology - NAT (Network Address Translation). NAT technology can convert internal private network addresses into legal public IP addresses, allowing multiple devices to share a single public IP address to access the Internet. In simple terms, the router assigns an internal private IP address to each device. When a device needs to access the Internet, the router converts its private IP address into a public IP address and records this conversion relationship. When data returns from the external network, the router then forwards the data to the corresponding device based on the record.
Among numerous industrial routers, PUSR's USR-G806w has become the "right-hand man" for shared exits in the IIoT due to its outstanding performance and rich features. Let's take a detailed look at the highlights of this product.
The USR-G806w supports 4G full-network compatibility, fully compatible with the networks of the three major operators: China Mobile, China Unicom, and China Telecom. No matter where you are, you can quickly connect to the network. Moreover, it supports the dual-SIM dual-standby function. When the signal of one SIM card is poor, it can automatically switch to the other SIM card, greatly improving the reliability of network connectivity. In addition, the USR-G806w is equipped with high-gain antennas, which have strong signal reception and transmission capabilities, effectively expanding the wireless coverage range. Even in outdoor areas with weak signals, it can provide stable high-speed network connections.
The USR-G806w offers a wealth of network configuration options, supporting simultaneous online connectivity for both wired and wireless networks, as well as intelligent multi-network switching and backup functions. This means that even if one network connection method encounters problems, the router can quickly switch to other available network connection methods to ensure the stability of network connectivity. At the same time, the USR-G806w also supports VPN (PPTP, L2TP, IPSec, OpenVPN, GRE) and other functions, providing enterprises with secure remote access solutions.
In IIoT applications, data security is of utmost importance. The USR-G806w has a built-in powerful firewall function that can monitor and filter network traffic in real-time, preventing attacks on the router by malware, viruses, etc. At the same time, it supports multiple encryption protocols, such as WPA/WPA2-PSK, WPA/WPA2-Enterprise, etc., which can encrypt data to ensure its security during transmission. In addition, the USR-G806w also supports functions such as blacklist and whitelist access restrictions, SNAT, and DNAT, allowing for the customization of communication rules to further safeguard network security.
The USR-G806w supports multi-platform management and configuration via SSH, TELNET, and Web. Operation and maintenance personnel can view the router's operating status, network connection status, device access information, etc., anytime and anywhere through the Web interface or mobile APP. They can also perform remote configuration and troubleshooting. In addition, the USR-G806w has a one-click factory reset function and supports hardware watchdogs to ensure system stability. In terms of installation, the USR-G806w provides various installation methods, such as DIN-rail, wall-mounted, and desktop, which can meet installation needs in different scenarios.
To better illustrate the application effects of the USR-G806w in the IIoT, let's look at two practical cases.
A large manufacturing enterprise planned to upgrade its factory network to achieve interconnection and real-time data transmission among devices. After extensive comparisons and tests, the enterprise ultimately chose the USR-G806w as the network hub for its IIoT. In practical applications, the USR-G806w successfully achieved interconnection among various production equipment, sensors, control systems, etc., within the factory, thanks to its powerful network connectivity and flexible network configuration options. At the same time, its comprehensive security protection functions also ensured the security of data transmission. With the support of the USR-G806w, the enterprise achieved data sharing and collaborative work among devices, improving overall production efficiency.
A meteorological department established multiple meteorological monitoring stations in the field to monitor meteorological data. These monitoring stations are usually located in remote areas with poor network conditions and harsh environments. To ensure the accurate collection and timely transmission of meteorological data, the meteorological department chose the USR-G806w as its network connection device. In practical applications, the USR-G806w successfully solved the network connection problems of the monitoring stations with its 4G full-network compatibility and wide-temperature operating capabilities. At the same time, its remote management functions and fault diagnosis and alarm functions also allowed the meteorological department to grasp the operating status of the monitoring stations in real-time and promptly identify and solve problems.
In the field of the IIoT, the function of industrial routers supporting multi-terminal shared exits is of great significance for improving network efficiency, reducing costs, and simplifying management. And PUSR's USR-G806w, with its powerful network connectivity, flexible network configuration options, comprehensive security protection functions, and convenient management and maintenance methods, has become the "right-hand man" for shared exits in the IIoT. If you are looking for an industrial router suitable for IIoT applications, you might as well consider the USR-G806w. I believe it will bring you unexpected surprises.
