In M2M applications, private IP address assignment and NAT at the mobile network provider usually result in a situation where remote devices cannot be reached from the control center. Either special SIM cards or an additional service are required for access. The Cloud Router from NetModule can serve as an intermediary between the control center and the routers in the area of use. The Cloud Router is a software package for Debian GNU/Linux that runs either on your own server in the DMZ or on a virtual server in the cloud. It can be installed on any server in just a few minutes and is ready for operation; access is via the web manager. In combination with industrial routers such as the 'NB1600' and the Cloud Router, integrators have an M2M communication solution at their disposal on which they can develop and operate customer applications. The Cloud Router can be used for projects that extend to several hundred outstations. New routers are initially connected to the Cloud Router via USB stick and managed centrally at the click of a mouse. The operating systems Windows, Linux, Android and iOS/OSX are supported.
