WR21 - Industrial Wireless Router - Pulse Supply

Compact, semi ruggedized LTE router with Industrial feature set and reliable, cost-effective connectivity for critical industrial applications.

The TransPort WR21 is a full-featured cellular router offering the flexibility to scale from basic connectivity applications to enterprise-class routing and security solutions. With its high-performance architecture, The TransPort WR21 provides primary and backup WWAN connectivity over 3G/4G/LTE. The platform includes software selectable multi-carrier and regional LTE variants.

Flexible power and connectivity options, along with extended temperature ranges make the TransPort WR21 a versatile product for both commercial and industrial environments. The TransPort WR21 supports enterprise software features for advanced security (stateful firewall, MAC filtering, VPN), redundancy (VRRP+, SureLink®), and management (SNMP, event logging, analyzer trace, and QoS), enabling the product to be used in PCI or NERC-CIP compliant applications.

Gain critical insights into your deployed devices and manage your network with Remote Manager® (Digi RM)— the command center for your deployment that facilitates easy setup, mass configuration, maintenance, and support for hundreds or even thousands of remote Digi devices. Digi RM lets you evaluate, update and configure your Digi enterprise products — and the health of your network — at scale after deployment.

WR21 Series Details

  • Automated Network Monitoring: To keep tabs on dozens, hundreds, or thousands of active connected devices requires network monitoring software. Human eyes can't keep up. With Digi RM remote monitoring tools, you're in command. As your IoT device management platform, Digi RM watches your network for disruptions and intrusions, and lets you know when you need to take action. Set alerts for important conditions. Get reports on network performance. Check on any device, anywhere, anytime. 
  • Firmware Updates: Today's IoT devices are smarter, more feature-rich, and have more tasks to perform at the edge. And they are not static. You may need to update the firmware to enhance functionality, download custom scripts, keep your devices in compliance with corporate security policies, or deploy patches for threats to IoT security. Digi Remote Manager puts the network management tools in your hands to deploy firmware updates or send files to your devices in minutes, even if you have a network of many thousands of devices. Manage your dynamic network with a few clicks. Keep your devices secure.
  • Configuration Management: Digi Remote Manager has what other IoT device management platforms don't: the ability to configure all of your devices at once, make individual configuration changes, and still manage those specialized configurations in groups. Create a group and individual configurations. Deploy rapidly and accurately. Let Digi RM monitor device security
  • Detection and Troubleshooting: Digi RM is always on, even during your network manager’s off hours. As your network monitoring solution, Digi RM lets you know when issues arise, sending alerts and delivering reports so your team can rest easy. At any time, they can gain the insights needed on the health of the entire network or individual devices and remotely troubleshoot, test, and reboot devices as needed. Put network monitoring tools to work for you, so you can work smarter.
