The Virtual Access GW1042W Series router is a compact and rugged 4G/LTE router designed with a metal housing. It enables 4G/LTE or 3G HSPA+ connectivity in a wide range of applications including smart grid, SCADA, auto-recloser and remote asset monitoring.
The product is equally at home offering primary WAN, 4G/LTE failover to fixed line via one of the onboard Ethernet ports. Its small size is ideal applications where space is at a premium. The GW1042W Series router offers a new entry point for 4G/LTE data applications but still supports all the legacy access technologies: HSPA+, HSPA, UMTS, EDGE, GPRS and GSM.
Dual Ethernet Ports
The GW1042W Series router offers two 10/100Mbps Ethernet interfaces. They can be configured as a single interface with Ethernet switching between them or as separate router interfaces.
Cellular Radio Interface
The GW1042W Series router supports category 4 LTE, which has a maximum downstream speed of 150Mbps and a maximum upstream speed of 50Mbps.
A very large set of LTE bands is supported in a single device, providing global network coverage. This simplifies stock control and logistics for multinational operations.
Connection Monitoring & Dual SIM
Dual SIM architecture ensures that a backup 3G or LTE network can take over should the primary network fail. The router detects a network problem and fails over to a standby SIM/APN.
The connection monitor ensures the GW1042W Series router deliveries maximum availability so long as the cellular network is available. For critical applications, a dual SIM architecture ensures that a backup LTE network can take over should the primary network fail.
