The devices are based on the new, future-proofed mGuard core² platform which has been designed for a broad portfolio of variants including the integration of emerging network technologies and transmission media with uniform device management. Thus, besides the initial launch of pure Ethernet devices, secure cellular radio routers based on mGuard technology will be offered in the future, too.
The mGuard Field Line devices are positioned routers for the secure remote servicing of machinery and equipment in the field over the Internet with simplified and less complex configuration. In contrast, the mGuard Factory Line can support scenarios with three router interfaces for the embedding of systems into complex industrial networks with separate connectivity to a remote services infrastructure, offering comprehensive, sophisticated functionality for advanced IT security and anti-malware protection in automation networks.
