Industrial Applications

1. Industrial IP Surveillance & IoT Edge Network Management

Deploying and powering high-definition PoE security cameras and IoT gateways across a mid-sized factory floor. The router provides both high-speed data transmission and 120W of total PoE budget to eliminate separate power runs to cameras.

Problem Solved

Eliminates the complexity of running separate electrical wiring for up to 8 PoE-enabled devices, while consolidating router, switch, and AP controller functions into one space-saving, fanless 1U chassis.

2. Secure IPSec/PPTP/L2TP VPN Tunneling for Remote Substations

Establishing secure, encrypted telemetry tunnels from auxiliary remote substation controllers and automated industrial machinery back to the centralized SCADA system.

Problem Solved

Secures external communication against unauthorized interception via built-in IPSec and L2TP VPN protocols without needing external security appliances, ensuring robust data isolation and ARP protection.

3. Centralized Warehouse Wi-Fi Infrastructure & AP Controller

Managing and distributing power to multiple wireless Access Points (APs) mounted on warehouse high-bays to provide seamless Wi-Fi roaming and control for AGVs and handheld barcode scanners.

Problem Solved

Directly manages up to 50 TP-Link APs, maintaining consistent configuration and seamless handoffs across the plant floor, while providing standard PoE power to the APs via the same Ethernet cable.
