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.
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.

As industrial routers, AR530s provide flexible WAN access modes for remote network connections. They can provide FE, GE, and 3G interfaces to meet networking requirements in different industries. This helps save deployment and maintenance costs to maximize a customer’s ROI.
The AR530s support SEP and can be rapidly and easily deployed on a complex network. STP, RSTP, and MSTP can run the network simultaneously. The AR530s have a fast convergence time, and when a fault occurs, it is easy to locate. The AR530s provide a reliable system operational environment, which improves network reliability.
The AR530s support various secure access functions to secure data transmission between terminals and master stations. Secure tunnels such as GRE VPN, IPSec VPN, DSVPN, and L2TP VPN are established between AR530s and master stations to implement secure data access and transmission.
As IoT gateways, AR530s integrate the functionality of both data concentrators and routers. AR530s can be used extensively throughout the energy AMI solution, smart Building Energy-efficiency Management System (BEMS) Solution, simplifying installation and reducing investment costs For example, in AMI solution, AR530s connect to terminals through standard Ethernet interfaces, PLC, ZigBee, RF and RS485 industrial interfaces. AR530s collect and store meter data and upload data to the management platform.
AR530s offer rich interfaces and 100M/1,000M link for flexible video surveillance backhaul access and high bandwidth requirements. In addition, they are also designed to work in harsh environments that are suitable for video surveillance applications in various industries.
