The ICR-3211B places intelligence at the network edge with an extremely powerful

Cortex A8 CPU at 1GHz, 512 MB RAM and 4 GB EMMC FLASH memory in pSLC mode for

a long-lifetime and critical industrial applications. 1.3 GB of memory space is allocated

for customer SW applications and data. With open Linux platform and wide posibilities

of programming customer SW applications in Python, C/C++ or browser-based ow

editor Node-RED the ICR-3211B oers a real open development platform for Industrial

IoT applications.

The Advantech existing app library (User modules) with apps already developed to

enhance specic router functionality including industrial protocol conversions and

support of IoT platforms such as MS Azure, Cumulocity, ThingWorx and others are

supported on the router.

ICR-3211B is easy to install using WebAccess/DMP, a full featured conguration and

monitoring tool for mass deployment. WebAccess/VPN is a perfect way how to provide

a xed IP address and secure the router. The router also supports additional trac and

health monitoring software R-SeeNet.

ICR-3211B is an industrial cellular gateway intended for the North American (NAM) and

European (EMEA) markets. The ICR-3211B router is designed for wireless communication in

the mobile networks that make use of traditional cellular technologies. The primary purpose

of this router is its use in the Category M1 (LTE-M) as well as Narrowband Internet of Things

(NB-IoT) services on the cellular LTE network.

LTE Cat M1 is a new cellular technology specically designed for the needs of applications

targeting the Internet of Things (IoT) or machine-to-machine (M2M) communications. LTE

Cat M1 is a low-power wide-area (LPWA) air interface that lets you connect IoT and M2M

devices with medium data rate requirements (375 kbps upload and download speeds in half

duplex mode).

In addition to its two independent or switched Ethernet ports, serial ports RS232 and RS485,

ICR-3211B has built-in digital I/O connectivity, backup real-time clock and sleep mode

support. The device has two SIM readers protected by metallic cover for carrier failover

redundancy. As an addition the router is ready to use internal eSIM.

The Last-gasp supercapacitor ensures safe sending out of information about power failure

or send last processed data.

The router supports VPN tunnel creation using various protocols to ensure safe

communications. The router provides diagnostic functions which include automatic

monitoring of the wireless and wired connections, automatic restart in case of connection

losses, and a hardware watchdog that monitors the router status.
