Description
The RS42 is a compact industrial router designed for reliable data transmission over cellular networks using LTE,
HSPA+, UMTS, EDGE, and GPRS technologies.
Equipped with an LTE Cat 4 module, the router provides data transfer speeds of up to 150 Mbps (downlink) and 50
Mbps (uplink), making it suitable for bandwidth-intensive applications.
The RS42 features industrial-grade interfaces, including GPI/GPO, PoE IN, and PoE OUT, to support a wide range of
connectivity requirements in industrial environments. Additionally, it includes an integrated Wi-Fi access point
supporting IEEE 802.11b/g/n standards, enabling wireless network deployment.
At the core of the RS42 is a high-performance MIPS processor, ensuring reliable operation and efficient handling of
networking tasks. The router runs on a customized firmware based on OpenWRT version 19, an open-source platform
that enables flexible functionality and regular updates. This adaptability allows the RS42 to meet diverse application
needs, from simple connectivity to advanced network configurations.
Data transmission is secured with robust encryption protocols, ensuring the safety and integrity of transmitted
information.
The RS42 supports a comprehensive suite of network functions, including: DNS and Dynamic DNS (DynDNS), SSH
Server, TFTP Client and Wget, SNMP, DHCP Server, Firewall and NAT, NTP Client, VLAN support.
Designed for both wireless and wired connectivity, the RS42 is ideal for use cases such as:
- Payment terminals and ATMs
- Industrial equipment nodes
- Mobile offices
- Security and video surveillance systems
- Monitoring and control systems
- Other applications requiring fast, reliable Internet access
