Connect the Smart Factory
Unify OT data, MES touchpoints, and industrial IoT with secure 5G and WiFi 7 backhaul — so lines stay observable, firmware stays current, and downtime drops without bolting on another brittle silo.
Why connectivity is the fourth pillar
Industry 4.0 is not only robots and analytics — it is reliable machine data in real time. When VLANs, VPNs, and cellular failover are designed together, engineers spend less time tracing mystery drops and more time improving OEE.
OT / IT convergence
Segment brownfield PLCs and greenfield sensors on consistent policies. Route supervisory traffic over controlled paths instead of ad-hoc guest WiFi.
Telemetry you can trust
Stable uplinks for condition monitoring, energy meters, and quality cameras — fewer gaps in historian feeds when the LAN flickers.
Hardened at the edge
Rugged gateways for dust, vibration, and wide temperature swings — the same class of gear you would spec for warehouses and remote sites.
Lifecycle from the cloud
Pair CPE with NetKonnekt DMS for staged firmware, config baselines, and TR-069 / TR-369 sessions — fewer truck rolls for routine updates.
Built for modern plant architecture
Reference patterns we see on the factory floor: redundant paths, identity per device, and observability that operations and IT both accept.
Interoperability
Ethernet, cellular, and WiFi in one stack — bridge islands without forcing every vendor onto the same radio.
Actionable data
Enough bandwidth for edge preprocessing and cloud analytics; QoS-friendly profiles for SCADA and MES bursts.
Security posture
Private APN options, VPN passthrough on industrial OS builds, and separation between guest and control traffic.
Anchor the line with NK R700
Industrial 5G + WiFi 7, OpenWRT, dual 2.5 Gbps ports, and wide-temp operation — ideal as a cell site on wheels inside the plant or as fixed backhaul behind the electrical room door.
