Industrial applications often include equipment that operates in geographically dispersed and remote locations, where connectivity may be limited. Think of an oil pipeline that travels through the mountains, a water-pumping station in the desert or a weather-monitoring station at altitude—there may be no nearby power lines (or phone lines), temperature changes can be extreme and the location can be difficult and expensive for service crews to access.

Connecting remote assets through high-quality industrial routers helps you gain real-time data connectivity—delivering lowered costs through improved remote monitoring, troubleshooting and predictive maintenance. Leveraging real-time data analytics can help you increase efficiency and save operating costs. Connectivity can also help you add service revenues from new value-added features.

This white paper will help you to understand the benefits gained through the use of industrial routers and the criteria for proper industrial router selection.
