4G/5G modems focus on providing mobile data connectivity for sensors, SCADA and IoT devices without including advanced router features. They are typically equipped with one Ethernet port and cellular connectivity, making them ideal for data logging, remote monitoring and mobile edge applications.

Areas of application

Sensor collection in the field

When a single sensor or measurement point needs to be connected via the mobile network, the 4G/5G modem can send data directly into the SCADA system or cloud platforms without the need for a router setup.

Remote monitoring on unmanned sites

For remote reading of e.g. weather stations, pumping stations or remote plant monitoring where static data transfer is sufficient and complex routing/unnecessary.

IoT applications

Suitable for setups with many dispersed devices - e.g. data points, meters or actuator data - where local management is done via mobile networks.

Technical features

One Ethernet port for network connection with sensor or data logger

Supports mobile standards such as LTE Cat 1/Cat 4 and in some models also LTE M/NB IoT

Dual SIM and automatic network failover ensure stable data transfer, e.g. in case of network loss

Security features like VPN (IPsec, OpenVPN, GRE) are located directly in the modem, protecting the data transfer

Designed for industrial environments, typically with DIN rail, wide temperature ranges (-30°C to +70°C) and chemically robust housings
