New Industrial Outdoor Cellular Routers from Phoenix Contact
Phoenix Contact is extending its remote communication portfolio to include industrial outdoor cellular routers. The Cellulink product family connects network-capable devices to the cellular network worldwide and is certified in accordance with IEC 62443-4-2.
Routers and antennas are combined in compact devices and can thus be mounted on the control cabinet, on a wall, or on a mast. The devices are supplied with Power over Ethernet, enabling quick and easy installation with just one Ethernet cable. The all-in-one concept saves costs for additional cellular antennas and antenna cables, as well as space in the control cabinet and installation time. The products have numerous cybersecurity functions as well as certification in accordance with IEC 62443-4-2. They are therefore optimally prepared for the Cyber Resilience Act.
Each device supports dual SIM and provider fallback as well as GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) for precise positioning and time synchronization. Configuration and firmware updates are carried out conveniently via web-based management, a REST API, and comprehensive device and update management.
The Cellulink product family of Phoenix’s industrial outdoor cellular routers is divided into three device classes, which differ only in terms of their technological and performance capabilities:
- With a European LTE CAT1 module, the 2000 series offers affordable and reliable entry-level cellular connectivity, with sufficient data throughput for most smaller-scale applications.
- The 4000 series is equipped with a global LTE CAT4 module and covers all common LTE applications. These devices can be used internationally and provide mid-range data throughput.
- With a global 5G module, the 6000 series represents the highest performance class. These devices are optimized for very high data throughput and low latencies and can be used in both private and public 5G networks worldwide.
