The new Unimax HSUPA router has been designed for mobile or fixed wireless applications and offers the same level of performance and reliability as our other 3G wireless industrial broadband modems. Some additional smarts have been added in this new version making it more robust and reliable such as it has a new feature where the router can recover if there is a network outage. The Unimax router checks for signal and registration status on wake up or loss or signal.

If the Unimax Router fails to register successfully on to the wireless network, it will try continuously 10 times (10 minute duration) and if it still doesn’t register and connect (Router Mode), it will reboot it self and start the sequence again until it has successfully logged on.

One of the other new features added in to this unit is the ability to ping two designated servers to ensure that the TCP connection is alive and operational. If the ping test to both servers fails for the count set in the web interface, the router will disconnect Internet connectivity, perform a soft power reset and start all over again.

These two new features will ensure that the modem will not require a site visit to turn the power on and off in case of loss of connectivity or wireless network.
