E-Lins has a better industrial design

Rubust and Working in Wide Range Temperature

Quality industrial grade casing provides robust and reliable 4G modem for installation in many different environments and operating temperature of -35 Celcius to +75 Celcius

GNSS / GPS is supported (option)

Industrial Applications

  • Remote data monitoring & control (SCADA / telemetry)
  • CCTV & security surveillance backhaul
  • AMR automatic meter reading — water, gas, oil flow
  • Power station & distribution network supervision
  • POS terminals, ATM & vending machines
  • Traffic signal & street lamp monitoring
  • Fleet management & vehicle diagnostics
  • Hydrologic / weather station data acquisition
  • Telecom base-station equipment supervision

Always-Online Failover

Cellular, wired WAN and Wi-Fi client back each other up automatically. When one link drops, traffic switches in seconds — your SCADA polling never notices.

Serial DTU for Legacy Devices

Optional RS232/RS485 port bridges Modbus RTU meters and decades-old controllers onto IP networks. No forklift upgrade — the serial device just gains a 4G link.

Full VPN Suite On Board

IPsec, L2TP, PPTP and GRE tunnels terminate directly on the router. Site data reaches your platform encrypted, without extra security appliances.

Built for Outdoor Cabinets

Wide-temperature components, enhanced ventilation and a compact metal body fit cramped street cabinets and survive them. Rated for −35 °C cold starts to +75 °C summer heat.

Self-Healing Watchdog

A hardware watchdog plus multi-layer link detection restarts frozen links before anyone calls you. Unattended sites keep working for years, not weeks.

Fleet Management via NMS

Every H685T reports signal, traffic and status to E-Lins NMS cloud. Push configs and firmware to one unit or ten thousand — from a single dashboard.
