With the SCALANCE M mobile wireless routers, both stationary stations and mobile users – for example, railway and road vehicles, coastal vessels, and inland navigation vessels – can be connected to a central control and monitoring system. The routers’ high data rates enable the transmission of bulk data and images. Depending on the application and availability. Communication can take place via 3G (UMTS), 4G (LTE), or 5G.
