Variations of the TransPort WR44R Cellular Router

Overview

The Digi TransPort WR44 R is a rugged, all-in-one 4G LTE Advanced mobile communications solution with true enterprise-class routing, security, and a firewall. Featuring a heavy-duty cast aluminum enclosure, it offers a flexible interface design with an optional integrated Wi-Fi access point (with multi SSID), USB, serial and 4-port Ethernet switch, as well as a variety of configuration options including GPS and CAN support.

These Routers are ideal for TransPortation and mobile applications. Flexible power options include 9-36 VDC locking barrel or automotive Molex connectors for direct integration into vehicle applications. Also ideal for mobile applications is the cellular to Wi-Fi auto switch feature, which uses the highest speed/lowest cost WAN network available.

All Digi TransPort products offer an advanced routing, security and firewall feature set including stateful inspection firewall and integrated VPN. Enterprise-class protocols incorporate BGP, OSPF, and VRRP+. Advanced features allow the Digi TransPort to be used as a component of a PCI compliant network.

Digi Remote Manager® provides easy setup, configuration, and maintenance of large installations of DigiTransPort and third-party devices.
