The Digi TransPort WR31 from Digi International is a rugged, versatile enterprise LTE router built for critical applications operating in harsh environments. It features advanced security and monitoring, and the intelligence to operate on nearly any 3G or 4G LTE network in the world.
Designed for critical infrastructure environments, the WR31 addresses industries that manage a large number of remote assets installed in challenging environments where onsite visits are infrequent or impractical. In addition, by supporting global HSPA+ and 4G LTE networks, it provides customers the flexibility to future-proof their router installation as wireless network requirements evolve.
At the heart of the device is Digi’s licence-free enterprise routing and security software that supports features required for high-reliability and high-security applications in utility and industrial markets. The WR31 is ideally suited for SCADA, telemetry and other network operations teams. It is targeted for installation at electric and water utilities, state and municipal traffic agencies, oil/gas production and distribution facilities, and manufacturing automation companies.
The router is available in multiple variants to allow companies the ability to leverage increasingly affordable and available cellular connectivity by offering software selectable 3G/4G LTE in order to choose the best network and carrier for their needs. For international deployments the WR31 is available in either global LTE with HSPA+ fallback, or global HSPA+ versions.
With a ruggedised aluminium enclosure and DIN-rail form factor, the WR31 is designed for use in cabinets, weatherproof enclosures and substation sheds. The product meets Class 1/Division 2 and ATEX ratings for use in hazardous environments and includes I/O support for local sensing and alarming applications.
Operators who deploy the WR31 have three tiers of support for keeping devices online. Digi Remote Manager provides a centralised portal for configuring devices en masse and reporting potential problems. Digi’s enterprise software supports redundancy features like VRRP+ (Virtual Routing Redundancy Protocol) and SureLink connection persistency software.
Finally, the router supports dual SIMs to provide continuous service through failover from one service provider to another, which is essential for applications that require continuous network connectivity and must adhere to service-level agreements (SLA).
