Terms on this page

LTE category: A 4G capability class. Higher categories support higher peak data rates; real speeds depend on the network.
3GPP release: The version of the mobile standards a modem implements. Later releases add features.
eSIM: An embedded SIM that downloads operator profiles instead of using a plastic SIM card. Data plans are separate.
Mini SIM (2FF): The standard full-size mobile SIM format.
Auto MDI/MDIX: Ports detect cable type automatically, so crossover cables are not needed.
PoE and PoE+: Power over Ethernet carries power and data on one cable. PoE+ (802.3at) supplies up to 30 W per port.
Passive PoE: A non-standard way to power the device through a LAN cable. Not compatible with 802.3af/at/bt switches.
RS232 and RS485: Serial interfaces used by industrial controllers, meters and older equipment.
GNSS: Satellite positioning (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou) for location and time.
IP rating: Protection against dust and water. IP30 and IPX0 equipment is for indoor or enclosed installation.
DIN rail: A standard metal rail for mounting equipment inside cabinets.
