Powerful Telecontrol with Integrated LTE Modem
As telecontrol demands continue to grow, reliable mobile connectivity has become essential for the economical operation of distributed infrastructure. The FW-5-GATE-4G from SAE IT-systems delivers a compact, high-performance solution by combining advanced telecontrol technology with an integrated LTE modem—all in one device.
Based on the proven FW-5-GATE, this model includes additional communication features and belongs to the high-performance series5e product family, known for durability, functionality, and exceptional performance.
All-in-One: Telecontrol, Router, Gateway, Modem
The FW-5-GATE-4G integrates a modern LTE chipset with MIMO antenna technology for excellent reception, download speeds of up to 150 Mbit/s, and upload speeds up to 50 Mbit/s. It supports fallback to 3G and 2G, ensuring stable connectivity even in poor coverage areas.
With 1200 MIPS, the device offers more than triple the performance of the previous generation, ideal for demanding tasks such as IEC 61850 communication, IEC 60870-5-10x processing, and enhanced IT security.
Unlike separate modem/router setups, all components are fully configured via setIT software—streamlining diagnostics, setup, and cabinet integration with no extra power supply or cabling required.
Typical Application Areas
- Intelligent local substations with fault indicators, power measurement, and protection devices
- Feed-in management for renewable energy systems
- Control units for direct marketing and balancing energy
- Smart metering and voltage regulation in distribution networks
- Pipeline infrastructure monitoring
