1. Product Overview: Engineered for Industrial Resilience
The StarRouter520 LTE Router (SR520) integrates 4G, VPN, and advanced security protocols into a compact industrial IoT solution. Unlike commercial-grade devices, it meets rigorous environmental standards with anti-vibration design and extended temperature tolerance (-40°C to +75°C).
Core Advantages
Dual-SIM Redundancy: Dual nano-SIM slots + eSIM support for 99.9% network uptime
Industrial Certifications: Compliant with EMI/EMC standards for factory floors and outdoor deployments
Expandable Memory: 64MB RAM + 16MB FLASH (expandable to 32MB) for IoT edge computing
2. Dual-SIM Benefits: Why It Matters in Industrial IoT
① Zero-Downtime Operations
Automatic Failover: Instantly switches to the secondary SIM when detecting network outages.
Carrier Flexibility: Combine tier-1 operators (e.g., Verizon, Vodafone) with regional providers for optimal coverage.
② Cost Optimization
Traffic Splitting: Prioritize high-priority data (e.g., sensor alerts) via high-speed networks while routing non-critical data (logs) through budget plans.
eSIM Futureproofing: Eliminate physical SIM swaps with remote carrier provisioning.
③ Global Deployment Simplified
7-Mode Full-Band Support: Compatible with LTE-FDD (B1/B3/B5/B7/B8/B20/B28) and LTE-TDD (B38/B40/B41), ensuring worldwide 4G compatibility.
3. Technical Specifications
