OWL 4G + WLAN

Industrial Wireless Router

4G Ethernet Gateway  -  USA and Canada


 
OWL 4G + WLAN - Industrial Wireless Router - Pulse Supply

The OWL 4G + WLAN is Cellular Router and Gateway. Optimized for distributed 4G applications with edge pre-computing

 

The OWL 4G family of routers and gateways enable secure, high-speed wireless connectivity and remote access for industrial applications in an increasingly connected world.

Edge computing configuration reduces infrastructure costs by providing an effective way to monitor and troubleshoot machines – without going on-site or creating connections where wired networks are not feasible.

The expanded OWL 4G family covers all global frequencies. With variants for Europe, North America, and Australia, organizations will be equipped to break into new markets with the ability to establish a secure connection anywhere in the world.
