SmartFlex SR310 cellular router provides secure Internet connectivity for devices and LANs
via cellular networks. It provides automatic wireless failover for wired networks, wireless
connectivity for devices in remote locations such as industrial PCs, HMIs, traffic controllers,
kiosks, meters, cameras, and much more.
SmartFlex serves well also for applications that require video transmitting because of
download speed up to 150 Mbps and upload speed up to 50 Mbps.
Modular SmartFlex design can be ordered in many hardware options. Standard hardware
configuration always includes 2 Ethernet 10/100 ports with 2 independent LANs/IP
addresses – optionally with POE+ PSE or POE PD feature – 1 USB host port, 1 microSD
cardholder, 2 SIM card holders for automatic failover to an alternate service provider,
2 binary inputs (I/O), 1 binary output (I/O), and onboard GPS/Glonass receiver.
As an extension to hardware interface options above can be modified by an additional
3× 10/100 ETH board (so totally up to 5 Ethernet ports configured for 3 independent
LANs/IP addresses) or combined Ethernet/RS-232/485 board or RS-232/485 board (isolation
strength up to 2.5kV). An optional built-in Wi-Fi module also available with industrial-grade
operating temperature ranges from -40 to +75 °C.
SmartFlex transfer intelligence at the network edge with a powerful Cortex A8 CPU running
on 1GHz frequency, 256 MB flash memory, 512 MB RAM, and 128kB M-RAM.
A secure Web interface allows users to configure and manage SmartFlex from remote
locations. The SmartFlex supports real-time data encryption and the creation of VPN tunnels
using IPsec, OpenVPN, GRE, etc. It supports standard and advanced networking features like
DHCP, NAT, NAT-T, DynDNS, NTP, VRRP, control by SMS, and numerous other functions.
With an open Linux platform and the wide possibility of programming customer SW
applications in Python, C/C++ or browser-based flow editor Node-RED the SmartFlex offers
a real open development platform for Industrial IoT applications. The Advantech existing
Router App library (User modules) with apps already developed to enhance specific router
functionalities include industrial protocol conversions and support of IoT platforms such
as MS Azure, Cumulocity, and others.
SmartFlex is easy to install individually and in mass deployments scenarios too by using
a full-featured configuration and monitoring software tool WebAccess/DMP. Safe remote
VPN access to customer devices and PCs connected to routers through Internet can be
administrated by additional software WebAccess/VPN.
