Huawei AR530 Agile Gateways

The AR530 series agile gateways, named industrial switching routers, are designed to work in the harsh environment of Internet of Things (IoT) applications. They integrate routing, switching, security, and Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) functions and provide various capabilities.

 

Product Overview

Compared with Enterprise routers, industrial routers are more adaptable to harsh industrial environments because their components are more carefully selected. The AR530 fanless design handles a wider temperature range and provides Ingress Protection 51 (IP51). With these key technologies, the AR530 is high- and low-temperature resistant, dustproof, waterproof, and can resist electro-magnetic interference. The AR530 uses a modular design and integrates various types of interfaces, such as FE, GE, 3rd Generation (3G), Power Line Communication (PLC), ZigBee, Radio Frequency (RF) and RS485.

The AR530 provides AMI centralized meter reading services. It can automatically collect meter and status data, analyze and store data in a centralized manner, and send data to the management system. The AR530 provides uplink, downlink, and local networking, to meet the requirements for the IoT in the energy industry. The AR530 is available in the following models: AR531-2C-H , AR531-F2C-H, AR531GR-U-H, AR531GPe-U-H and AR531G-U-D-H.
