PLANET IP68-rated Industrial 5G NR Outdoor Unit 1-Port Grey White

The PLANET IP68-rated Industrial 5G NR Outdoor Unit (model FWA-2100-NR-EU) is a weatherproof outdoor gateway that combines 5G NR cellular connectivity with a single Gigabit Ethernet port and internal antennas. Built to IP68 standards, the unit is suitable for harsh environments and features dual nano SIM slots for carrier flexibility, an integrated GNSS receiver for positioning, and compact dimensions (150 × 100 × 240 mm) for simple wall mounting. It supports multi-band cellular standards (5G NR, LTE, WCDMA, GSM) and includes VPN, firewall and management functions for industrial deployments.

Advantages

The FWA-2100-NR delivers high-speed 5G NR data rates (up to theoretical 2.4 Gbps downlink) with automatic failover between dual cellular WANs and secondary WAN interfaces to maintain continuous Internet access. Its IP68 housing and internal 3 dBi antennas provide durability and a tidy outdoor installation. Built-in security features include IPSec VPN with multiple encryption and authentication options, SPI firewall, DoS/DDoS mitigation, and centralized AP management for simplified Wi‑Fi deployments. Dual nano SIM design enables roaming and operator redundancy for mission-critical use.

Suitable for

• Outdoor broadband connectivity for remote or rural sites
• Construction sites and temporary outdoor installations
• Industrial sites requiring rugged, weatherproof network gateways
• Small and medium business Wi‑Fi deployments with centralized AP control
• Locations needing secure VPN access and continuous cellular failover

How to use

Mount the unit outdoors on a wall or mast using appropriate brackets, ensuring the GNSS view to the sky for accurate positioning. Insert up to two nano SIM cards according to your carrier plan and configure SIM priority and failover settings via the web-based management interface. Connect the Gigabit Ethernet port to your local network switch or router. Use the built-in AP controller and captive portal features to provision and manage PLANET Smart APs, and enable VPN or firewall policies as required for secure access.

Recommendations

Install the gateway at a location with good cellular reception and protected from direct water pooling. For mission-critical or high-throughput applications, verify with local mobile carriers the supported 5G NR bands and expected data rates. Regularly update firmware and review firewall and VPN settings to maintain security.
