Connect Several Devices and Computers to GPRS/EDGE Wireless Networks
eDevice's RouteD230 not only extends the geographical Internet coverage for Ethernet devices but also secures networks requiring high availability.
The RouteD230 is a compact and affordable LAN to GPRS router solution that lets devices from an Ethernet/LAN network benefit from the flexibility, mobility, coverage, and low rates of GPRS/EDGE networks.
Computers and devices connected through Ethernet cables can access the Internet freely from everywhere without needing wired or satellite access!
The RouteD230 has been engineered to provide reliable wireless Internet connectivity that can be used as backup for already-connected sites or as a main link for yet unconnected or brand new sites. Cellular Network-specific features like automatic attachment management and link failure discovery increase link reliability while dynamic DNS allows to work around the limitations of dynamic IP addressing.
For critical applications such as banking, energy, and security where link redundancy is needed, the RouteD230 can easily be used as a wireless backup to the regular network infrastructure. The Plug & Play set-up of this unique backup feature is compatible with the most basic routers and does not require advanced and expensive features like VRRP.
When used as the main Internet/Intranet link, the RouteD230 embeds an internal DHCP server for easy and immediate IP address attribution throughout the LAN. The wireless Internet access is shared between several computers or LAN devices using Network Address and Port Translation allowing servers to be hosted on the LAN with the TCP port mapping technique.
The RouteD230 embeds a quad-band GSM/GPRS or EDGE module and targets cellular carriers, IT resellers, OEMs and integrators. It is designed to offer connectivity for networks of computers located in branch offices, mobile sites, stores and point of sales...
The integrated serial port and memory card holder pave the way for fast adaptation to specific customer needs in the Machine-to-Machine (M2M) area for applications such as remote monitoring, automated meter reading, video surveillance, traffic, medical...
