Chapter 1: Introducing

Thank You for choosing the M2M Pro router device for your business.

1.1 Product overview

M2M Router Pro is an advanced, programmable modem device which has numerous

additional functions (hardware and software). These possibilities make the device suitable for

ensuring the communication backgourd for almost any industrial applications and secure

application needs as parts of high-available (HA) systems.

The device estabilish the connection between various network systems

(GSM/GPRS/EDGE/HSDPAEthernet) – with application of the widely supported

wireless network standards – through the option that almost any reachable communication

module can be connected towards the router.

The primary task of the programmable modem device is to keep the

GPRS/EDGE/HSDPA interface module on the network continously and in case of

connection loose, it has to connect it again.

We can switch several different or parallel devices to the router (for example an

industrial IP-camera), which will connect to the device and the network also through

the Ethernet connector, and it will get through the necessary data for the central

server.

The router is prominently suitable at non-ADSL supported locations as an alternative

solution to secure the internet/network access (owing for the high-speed mobile

network connection).

2.3 Optional module extensions

There are more option to swith an additional HSDPA or EDGE module to the router. This

hardware upgrade process and the further software implementation and programming will

be handled by the WMR Rendszerház.

You only need to make Your choice among the module standard and other operational

functions which You wanted to use. You should define the connectable devices and

communication types and the quality of service (for example HA, network bandwith, etc.)

and approximately negotiate the annual costs for securing the service. Co-workers of WMR

will help You to make Your ideal decision, and with this support You’ll be absolutely able to

choose the most-required module for Your business (based on technician and cost-

efficiency angles considering the local conditions).

The following optional modules can be associated to the M2M Pro router device:

a.) Gemalto® PH8 module

- High-speed wireless network data traffic required usage (Telemetric

applications, security systems (video and audio signal forwarding and

delivery))

- High-speed USB connections and/or Hi-speed data traffic required industrial

applications

b.) Gemalto® MC75 module

- Reduced-speed wireless network data traffic required usage (security systems

(video and audio signal forwarding and delivery))
