Radios, ports and power
Review the radios, ports, power input and enclosure required for your installation.
OEM / ODM
Networking products for your project
Start with a product model and the changes your installation needs. Hardware configuration, router software, samples and production testing are reviewed together before the build is agreed.
Hardware configuration
Country, carrier bands, antennas, ports, power and mounting determine the hardware configuration.
What can be adapted?
Discuss the changes below for your selected model. Availability, development work and testing depend on the hardware and firmware configuration.
Hardware and installation
Specify the operator bands, Ethernet ports, antenna connections, power input, enclosure and mounting. Board or interface changes need a separate development and validation plan.
Firmware and interface
Describe the WAN settings, WebUI changes, remote-access method and update behaviour you need. The requested functions are checked against the model and firmware before sample approval.
Packaging and documents
Include packaging requirements, document language and installation instructions. Agree the required files and test procedure with the sample configuration.
Development process
Sample build and production preparation
Design reviews, test results and approved samples are completed before pilot production.

Manufacturing resources
PCB assembly, final assembly and testing
Production includes SMT, DIP, unit assembly, functional testing, aging and traffic-load testing.
01
SMT
Surface-mount component placement and reflow for PCB assembly.
02
DIP
Through-hole component insertion and soldering for applicable boards.
03
Assembly
PCB, enclosure, antenna and cable assembly before functional test.
04
Functional test
Defined power, interface, radio and firmware checks for each unit.
05
Aging test
Timed powered operation under the test conditions specified for the product.
06
Loading test
Traffic and connection tests under the load profile specified for the model.
Project enquiry
Discuss your project
Discuss your OEM / ODM project
Include the model or application, deployment country, operator, required changes, sample quantity, expected production volume and target delivery date. Minimum quantities, sample costs and lead time are discussed for the agreed configuration rather than quoted as a single rule for every product. See the software functions for model-dependent settings.
