The Automotive EN-2000™ Router

Hardware Description and Installation

he chassis for the automotive EN-2000™ router connects to a standard 12-volt or

24-volt automotive battery, and can be used in cars, buses, trucks, and heavy 

equipment. This special router provides all the features of the standard EN-2000™ 

router. 

The automotive EN-2000 is based on the hardened version of the EN-2000, with 

RS232 and RS485 ports for supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA). 

There are several uses for the automotive EN-2000. Some examples are:

• Connection of SCADA systems for refrigeration in cold-food-distribution trucks
• WiFi connection for cellphones and tablets, to secure back-end databases for 

emergency-service vehicles and personnel, such as police, fire, and ambulance 

• Digital video recording (DVR), to provide quick reference to recent streaming 

video (for example, incident review) or to provide information on the recording 

system itself (for example, the amount of remaining storage), in buses and 

coaches 

• WiFi and internet access to management systems for drivers of trucks and heavy-

duty vehicles

• WiFi for passengers in buses and coaches
