IRG5500 Cellular LTE Routers
Perle IRG5500 LTE Routers and Gatewayshave the most comprehensive set of features, functionality, and performance to provideprimary or failover back-up connectivityto remote infrastructure and assets. These ultra-low-power, rugged, high-performance Cellular Routers, withdual-SIM slots, also have models with WLAN capabilities making them a single network point of contact for fast deployments. And, there is no need for training because an IRG5500 Router comes with an intuitive web GUI. For advanced admin scrips, CLI commands are also available.
Perle IRG5500 Routers providefast, secure, and reliable managed LTE network connectivitywhere wired options are impossible to deploy or require a backup. This is crucial for enabling a wide range of applications while ensuring the highest degree of security to protect the integrity of critical services. Reduce the cost of downtime and service calls, and bringing distributed sites online faster. With support forData, SMS, Voice, and Video, an IRG5500 and can be integrated into any enterprise cloud, building, industrial, or mobile location network infrastructure.
