  • Oil & gas monitoring: Remote pipeline inspections.
  • Water treatment plants: Real-time sensor data for water quality control.

2. Retail & Payment Systems (POS Terminals)

How it Works:

  • Modern POS terminals require secure internet access to process transactions.
  • The IR625 provides a reliable 5G connection, ensuring that payments are processed quickly and securely.
  • If a primary network fails, the router automatically switches to the secondary SIM (roaming SIM) to avoid downtime.

Example Applications:

  • Retail stores: Contactless payment processing.
  • Vending machines: Wireless payment system integration.
  • Pop-up shops & events: Internet access for temporary locations.

3. CCTV & Security Systems

How it Works:

  • Surveillance cameras in remote or mobile locations (such as construction sites or transport vehicles) require high-speed 5G for real-time video streaming.
  • The IR625 connects to cloud-based monitoring platforms, providing security personnel with instant access to footage.
  • The built-in VPN and firewall secure video transmission from hackers or unauthorized access.

Example Applications:

  • Construction sites: Monitor high-value equipment remotely.
  • Public security: City surveillance networks.
  • Mobile CCTV vans: Real-time monitoring on the move.

4. Smart Transportation & Fleet Management

How it Works:

  • Fleet vehicles need real-time GPS tracking and internet access for onboard applications.
  • The IR625 uses a roaming SIM card to connect to the strongest available network while moving between different areas.
  • Provides a Wi-Fi hotspot for in-vehicle connectivity, supporting logistics and public transport systems.

Example Applications:

  • Fleet tracking: Monitor vehicle location, speed, and status.
  • Public transport: Wi-Fi for passengers.
  • Emergency services: Reliable connectivity for ambulances and fire trucks.

5. Remote Office & Home Internet

How it Works:
