1. BASIC INFORMATION
1. Basic Information
SPECTRE v3 LTE cellular routers are designed for communication across cellular net-
works using LTE, HSPA+, UMTS, EDGE or GPRS technology. Data transfer speed is up to
100 Mbit/s (download) and up to 50 Mbit/s (upload). The router is an ideal solution for the wire-
less connection of traffic and security camera systems, individual computers, LANs, automatic
teller machines (ATM), other self-service terminals, and many other devices.
Wired router SPECTRE v3 ERT is an ideal device for the realization of a secure connection
of two local area networks (LANs). Interconnection is carried out using two ETHERNET 10/100
interfaces and secure tunnel (
IPsec , OpenVPN , L2TP ). The other equally important ways to
use this router is to connect any device with RS232, RS485 or RS422 serial interface to the
local network (LAN). For this purpose, SPECTRE v3 ERT is equipped with two ETHERNET
10/100 ports and other interfaces based on the version of the router chosen by the user.
Standard Equipment
Standard features include two Ethernet 10/100 ports, one USB 2.0 Host port, two binary
inputs, one output (I/O connector), and two SIM card readers for 3 V and 1.8 V SIM cards.
The router also has a memory card reader that increases the router’s storage space by up to
64 GB when using a microSD card or up to 32 GB when using SDHC cards.
Optional Features
If desired, the router can be configured with a WiFi module when the router is manufac-
tured. (Note that routers cannot be retrofitted with this feature at some point in the future.)
The SPECTRE v3 router can also be configured with a wide variety of expansion port options.
These can be three switched Ethernet ports, an RS232 port, a combination of galvanically
separated RS232 and RS485 ports, or even a combination of Ethernet and serial lines with
stronger insulation. The router can be provided in either a plastic or metal casing, depending
upon the customer’s requirements. (See the router’s technical manual for details.)
Advantages in relation to v2 concept
The most considerable progress for a new generation of routers is four times more pow-
erful CPU providing significantly higher throughput and faster encryption. The router can also
boast substantially larger memory (512 MB RAM and 256 MB flash). As already mentioned
above, the storage space can be further increased using a memory card. The fact that the
router supports POE (Power over Ethernet) is also worthy of notice. This means that it is pos-
sible to power over data network cable without using any other cable for power supply. It just
depends on the customer whether he gets "v3" router supporting PSE mode (Power Source
Equipment), PD mode (Powered Device) or the router which does not support POE.
