Cybertec Selection Guide
Industrial connectivity isn’t just about getting a device online — it’s about choosing a router that fits the deployment environment, data requirements, and operational constraints. Cybertec routers are designed for industrial and remote applications where uptime, environmental resilience, and secure access are essential.
This guide helps you narrow down the best router for your needs by focusing on four core questions:
1. Do you need mobile connectivity (4G/4GX) or a fixed-line option (DSL/VDSL2)?
Go mobile-first (4G/4GX) if you need:
- Rapid deployment without fixed infrastructure
- Connectivity in remote or temporary locations
- Redundancy for fixed-line connections
- Support for SCADA, telemetry, CCTV backhaul or sensor networks
Choose DSL/VDSL2 if you need:
- A stable fixed-line service
- More predictable performance
- Integration with legacy site infrastructure
Models to consider:
2. How many devices do you need to connect — and what type?
LAN ports tell you how many Ethernet devices you can connect directly onsite.
Serial ports determine how well the router integrates with legacy OT gear (RTUs, PLCs, meters).
- Light device load → DMM-450 / 2155X / 2255X
- Higher device or protocol demand → 2255X (1x DCE, 2x DTE)
- Applications with minimal serial requirements → 2455X / 5455
If you’re modernising a site with mixed IP and serial assets, the 2255X is your safest choice.
3. Do you require secure remote access?
All Cybertec routers support VPN clients, but note:
- Cybertec devices do not support VPN server mode.
- If your environment relies on inbound connections from field staff, contractors, or remote monitoring platforms, ensure your head-end supports the VPN role.
For most industrial deployments, VPN client support is sufficient — letting the router establish an outbound secure tunnel.
Models supporting VPN client:
- 2155X, 2255X, 2455X, 5455
- DMM-450 does not support VPN
4. What performance level do your applications demand?
Different applications have different throughput needs:
- Telemetry, metering, RTUs, low-bandwidth SCADA
- DMM-450 (10 Mbps DL)
- General industrial networking, remote access, IP devices
- 2155X / 2255X (42 Mbps DL)
- Video backhaul, heavy data polling, higher-load sites
- 2455X (100 Mbps DL)
- Fixed-line broadband with variable performance
- 5455 (location dependent)
