S99MC2X-LTE



Overview

RICON S99MC2X-LTE, is a compact router with LTE Cat.4 cellular connectivity, designed especially for in-vehicle and industrial field applications. 9–60 V DC wide supply range and IP54 protection class adapt it to different power infrastructures and harsh operating conditions. With 2 × Fast Ethernet LAN, 1 × Fast Ethernet WAN, dual SIM, RS232/RS485 serial interface and 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi support, it offers versatile connectivity options.

S99MC2X-LTE supports network continuity with dual SIM and automatic failover/failback between wired WAN connections. With Modbus TCP and MQTT protocols, it transfers data collected from field devices to central systems. With wide voltage support and serial communication capabilities, it is a suitable solution for vehicle tracking systems, industrial automation, energy monitoring and remote telemetry applications.

S99MC2X-LTE can be configured via the web interface and CLI; it can be monitored centrally and managed remotely through the Ricon Management System (RMS). With SMS-based Zero-Touch provisioning support, it simplifies the commissioning of distributed field devices and helps reduce operational costs and the need for on-site maintenance visits.
