Looking for an Industrial Router

Looking for an Industrial Router

Looking for an Industrial Router

(OP)
Has anyone run accross an industrially rated router to use in an outdoor cabine w/o air con?

RE: Looking for an Industrial Router

I have seen them advertised often but can't think of one off hand.  Just Google for "industrial router".

If you cannot find one I will look.

Could you use a managed switch?

NO ONE makes one more rugged.

RE: Looking for an Industrial Router

Cannot use a managed switch, as I need to perform Layer 3 routing and IP address management.

Here is what I am looking to do.
Airlink offers a CDMA modem with an ethernet interface, but they only have accomodations for one node IP address on the local side.
To have multiple addresses on the local side, you need to use a router in between the CDMA modem and the local LAN.
These devices work well in harsh environments, but I cannot find a decent router that will operate in an outdoor cabinet that has no air-con.

robertjo24,

Have you checked out Westermo's range of products? They have a pretty good spec for temperature and supply voltage, and galvanic isolation between ports on many products. Not sure if they have something which meets your exact needs - their technical people are very good and should be able to help.

Hello robert

Is it possible to vent the cabinet, I have even seen large heat sinks mounted on the back with fans moving the air across them or through them. Filter the intake dont move too much air the heat from the equipment inside will keep moisture in check.
