It enables\u00a04G\/LTE or 3G HSPA+ connectivity in a wide\u00a0range of applications including smart grid,\u00a0SCADA, auto-recloser and remote asset monitoring.<\/p>\n<p>The product is equally at home offering primary WAN, 4G\/LTE failover to fixed line via\u00a0one of the onboard Ethernet ports. Its small\u00a0size is ideal applications where space is at a\u00a0premium. The GW1042W Series router offers\u00a0a new entry point for 4G\/LTE data applications\u00a0but still supports all the legacy access\u00a0technologies: HSPA+, HSPA, UMTS, EDGE,\u00a0GPRS and GSM.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dual Ethernet Ports<\/strong><br \/>\nThe GW1042W Series router offers two\u00a010\/100Mbps Ethernet interfaces. They can be\u00a0configured as a single interface with Ethernet\u00a0switching between them or as separate router\u00a0interfaces.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cellular Radio Interface<\/strong><br \/>\nThe GW1042W Series router supports\u00a0category 4 LTE, which has a maximum\u00a0downstream speed of 150Mbps and a\u00a0maximum upstream speed of 50Mbps.<\/p>\n<p>A very large set of LTE bands is supported in a single device, providing global network\u00a0coverage. This simplifies stock control and\u00a0logistics for multinational operations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Connection Monitoring &amp;\u00a0Dual SIM<\/strong><br \/>\nDual SIM architecture ensures that a backup\u00a03G or LTE network can take over should the\u00a0primary network fail. The router detects a\u00a0network problem and fails over to a standby\u00a0SIM\/APN.<\/p>\n<p>The connection monitor ensures the\u00a0GW1042W Series router deliveries maximum\u00a0availability so long as the cellular network\u00a0is available. For critical applications, a dual\u00a0SIM architecture ensures that a backup LTE\u00a0network can take over should the primary\u00a0network fail. The GW1042W Series router\u00a0detects a network problem and fails over to a\u00a0standby SIM\/APN.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SMS Management<\/strong><br \/>\nThe GW1042W Series router also supports\u00a0SMS, so if the packet switched side of the\u00a0network is down, you can send commands to\u00a0the router to perform diagnostics or even a\u00a0reload.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WiFi Option<\/strong><br \/>\nThe GW1042W Series router has two external SMA female connectors for integrated WiFi support. It is capable of supporting both Access Point mode and Station mode concurrently if required.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mounting Bracket<\/strong><br \/>\nA bracket is included that enables simple\u00a0mounting. The bracket can be clipped onto a\u00a0DIN rail for industrial applications.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Centralised Management and Monitoring<br \/>\n<\/strong>The GW1042W Series router benefits\u00a0from Activator, Virtual Access&#8217; centralised configuration management and monitoring\u00a0system. Activator simplifies and automates\u00a0deployment, management and support tasks\u00a0in managed network environments. The\u00a0Zero-Touch deployment functionality built\u00a0into Activator means GW1042W Series routers\u00a0can be deployed without the need of onsite\u00a0configuration or even knowledge of IP or LTE\u00a0networks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>NOTE<\/strong>:\u00a0 All products are pre-order items<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westermo.com\/products\/routers\/wireless-routers\/gw1042w-x-qfr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Technical Specs &amp; Downloads<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rugged Compact 4G\/LTE Router with optional Wi-Fi<br \/>\n2 x 10\/100 Mbit\/s, RJ-45<br \/>\n2 x SIM card slot<br \/>\n2 x SMA female Wi-Fi antenna connector (optional)<\/p>\n<p>The Virtual Access GW1042W Series router is\u00a0a compact and rugged 4G\/LTE router designed\u00a0with a metal housing.
