QK-R041 Wireless 4G LTE Router

A marine wireless router designed for vessels. The R041 provides Internet connection for devices connected to it through WiFi and Ethernet cables via 4G LTE and 3G UMTS network with just a data SIM card.

The R041 features two MIMO 4G diversity antennas which ensure excellent mobile network reception and two omni-WiFi antennas. It offers the option to surf the Internet at high speed, ensuring stable and fast connection for up to 22 miles away from the coast.

The R041 have been designed for remote monitoring and managing of the boat by integrating digital I/O, serial communication port and NMEA 0183 protocol. Its ready for our IOT(Internet of Things) on board solution.

Description

The QK-R041 is a marine wireless router designed for permanent installation on boats and yachts. It provides Internet connection for devices connected to it through WiFi and Ethernet cables via 4G/3G network with just a SIM card. It offers the option to surf the Internet at high speed, ensuring stable and fast connection for up to 22 miles away from the coast.

The R041 features two MIMO 4G diversity antennas which ensure excellent mobile network reception and two omni-WiFi antennas which offer great WiFi signal strength onboard. The QK-R041’s WiFi network is secure, and password protected and allows for up to 32 devices to be connected to the router at the same time. On larger yachts, where a single WiFi access point is not enough to cover all areas, a second R041 or an additional WiFi extender can be connected to the router trough the LAN (RJ45) connection.

The R041 is a Plug & play device with its default settings, only requires a 12VDC power supply and a SIM card with an active data package to offer access to the Internet. All this makes the system particularly easy to install.
