Product Features
Technical Overview
The IRG5521 delivers enterprise-grade networking features in an industrial form factor. It supports full Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000Base-T) across its two RJ-45 ports, with compliance to IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, 802.3ab, and 802.3x standards for reliable wired connectivity. The integrated 4 GB of memory supports advanced routing tables and configuration persistence.
Wireless connectivity is handled through LTE-Advanced (LTE-A and LTE-A Pro) technology, offering up to 10x faster downlink and 3x faster uplink speeds compared to basic LTE. This makes it suitable for bandwidth-intensive applications or locations where traditional broadband is unreliable. The router also includes USB 3.2 via a Type-C port for additional peripheral connectivity.
Relevant factors for this section include Total Number of Ports, USB Standard, Number of Network (RJ-45) Ports, Ethernet Technology. When those points are considered together, they give buyers a clearer picture of how the product is equipped, how it fits into deployment, and what kind of day-to-day role it is meant to support.
