F-R100 V2 Four-Faith Industrial 4G Router

Core Purpose

The F-R100 V2 is a 4G industrial cellular router built for reliable remote connectivity in industrial environments. It connects field equipment, control systems, and remote infrastructure to central platforms through cellular and wired networks. It is designed for applications such as SCADA systems, distribution management, and remote monitoring where stable, always-online communication is essential. Six order codes cover one or two SIM cards, a single or dual cellular module, and GPS.

Connectivity and Communication

The router supports LTE with speeds up to 100 Mbps downlink and 50 Mbps uplink, enabling real-time data transmission for industrial systems. It also supports multiple WAN methods including static IP, DHCP, PPPoE, and cellular WAN. Dual-link backup (3G/4G and wired WAN) helps maintain connection if one network fails. VPN protocols such as IPsec, OpenVPN, PPTP, L2TP and GRE enable secure remote communication between sites. It supports remote management through web interface, CLI, SNMP, and HTTPS, allowing centralised configuration and monitoring. Traffic statistics provide real-time visibility of data transmission rates.

Wireless Networking

The device includes Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n, supporting speeds up to 150 Mbps (802.11n). It can operate in AP, Client, or Bridge mode, enabling flexible wireless deployment in industrial environments. Multiple SSID support and encryption options (WEP, WPA, WPA2) allow controlled and secure wireless access inside facilities.

Expansion and I/O Support

The router includes 1 × RS232 (RS422/RS485 optional) for industrial serial communication. It also provides 2 digital inputs, 1 digital output, and 1 relay, controlled by Modbus protocol. This allows integration with sensors, alarms, and industrial controllers. Relay output supports loads up to 1 A at 250 V AC or 30 V DC, enabling external device control. GPS is fitted on F-R100 V2 GPS, F-R100 V2-SIM2-GPS and F-R100 V2-GPS-2*.

Power and Environmental Suitability

The router supports a wide DC 5–36 V power input range, making it suitable for vehicles and industrial power systems. Typical power consumption is under 500 mA at 12 V. It operates in temperatures from –35 °C to +75 °C, with storage down to –40 °C. The metal enclosure is rated IP30, and the device supports DIN-rail and wall mounting for cabinet installation. Built-in protections include 1.5 kV Ethernet isolation, 15 kV ESD protection on the SIM interface, reverse polarity protection, and watchdog design for system stability.
