The Virtual Access GW2304W Series router has been designed for remote access applications in the harshest of environments, such as unmanned roadside cabinets, railway trackside and pole-top smart grid applications over 4G. The PoE+ capability supplies up to 60W of power across the 4 Ethernet ports to power cameras with PTZ or other PoE devices. Serial ports and digital I/O options make this a very versatile device for many industrial applications. Dual 2.4 and 5Ghz WiFi support is built in as standard where an access point or client connectivity is required. 

The GW2304W Series router supports up to four 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet interfaces. They can be configured as a single interface with Ethernet switching between them or as separate router interfaces. 

The GW2304W Series supports up to four PoE ports with a total budget of 60W. The power management can allocate all the power to 2 ports for POE+ applications or spread the available power across all 4 ports depending on the power class of the connected device.

The GW2304W Series router includes a GPS receiver for positioning information, such as vehicle position in open cast mines or other an application where knowing the position of the router is important. The GPS socket has a DC voltage to power an active GPS antenna.

The GW2304W Series router also supports SMS, so if the packet-switched side of the network is down, commands can be sent to the router to perform diagnostics or even a reboot.

The GW2304W has been designed with rubber seals around each connector, providing an IP54 ingress protection rating. 

The GW2304W can be configured to use an interface as a WAN connection. The management of the GW2304W is able to fall backward and forwards between media interface depending on the availability.

The GW2304W Series router has two WiFi radios for concurrent support of 2.4GHz and 5GHz WiFi radio bands. An internal diplexer enables both radios to share a single pair of WiFi antenna on SMA connectors. It is capable of supporting both Access Point mode and Station mode concurrently if required. The WiFi channels can be separated for application purposes, for example, 2.4GHz for management access and 5Ghz for public access to the internet via the LTE interface.

A DIN rail clip is included, which enables simple mounting for industrial applications. Optional rubber feet can be supplied for table mounting. 

The GW2304W Series router benefits from Activator, Virtual Access' centralized configuration management and monitoring system. Activator simplifies and automates deployment, management, and support tasks in managed network environments.
