NTC-140W
Specication Sheet
The robust and intelligent NetComm Wireless 4G WiFi M2M Router (NTC-140W)
provides real-time M2M data connectivity, even in harsh environments. The NTC-140W
creates reliable point-to-point or point-to-multi-point WAN connections for a variety
of mission critical applications such as primary broadband, video surveillance, retail,
payments, in-vehicle communications and business continuity.
USER FRIENDLY
The NTC-140W is all about simplicity. It has 8 tri-colour LED indicators
and a user friendly web interface, making onsite setup and ongoing
remote management simple, easy and cost-effective. Access the device
using any browser, or use text messages (SMS) to securely access the
current status, change congurations or execute commands.
IDEAL INDUSTRIAL IOT DEVICE
The industrial IoT industry is expanding at a rapid rate as businesses
realise the enormous value of remote asset management enabled through
M2M communications. The NTC-140W has the custom capacity needed
to adapt to varied M2M implementations; and is a future proof 4G device
that ensures a low total cost of ownership and the highest possible rate
of return.
CARRIER GRADE MANAGEMENT
The NTC-140W supports a wide range of telecommunication standards
based remote management protocols such as LWM2M, TR-069 and
SNMP to allow quick and easy integration with a wide range of remote
management platforms. Extensive support for managing the device via
SMS allows enterprises to communicate, get status reports, change
settings or even execute commands using an SMS gateway. The built-in
event notication engine, which sends alarms and notications via email
or SMS, allows an automated layer of self-monitoring to ensure a quick
response to events requiring human intervention.
INDUSTRIAL GRADE DESIGN
Designed from the ground up with harsh industrial and automotive
environments in mind, the NTC-140W features a state-of-the-art
enclosure made from a composite of hard wearing, shock absorbing
and environmentally stable industrial materials. Electrical components
have been carefully selected to allow the NTC-140W to operate at
extreme temperatures. Most importantly NetComm Wireless has done
extensive environmental tests to ensure the device continues to operate
under extreme conditions of temperature, shock and vibration.

4G WiFi M2M Router
Overview
Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications is to industrial automation and
management what the internal combustion engine was to the automobile industry.
It is revolutionary, and even disruptive, creating new ways to improve productivity
and increase prots by enabling the industrial Internet of Things (IoT). Whether you
are an end-user, a system integrator or an IoT service manager, your design toolbox
will benet from the highly adaptable 4G WiFi M2M Router (NTC-140W).
In the event of a primary comms
failure the NTC-140W can keep
the office connected via 4G
The NTC-140W’s Ethernet
LAN port can connect to
the existing office network
Connecting the NTC-140W’s WAN
port to the existing modem /
Router allows it to sense when the
fixed line connection goes down
