Overview

The InHand Networks IR624-NRQ3-WLAN-S is a North American 5G NR industrial router rated for up to 3.4 Gbps downlink with LTE fallback. It combines dual-band Wi-Fi 5, four gigabit Ethernet ports, one RS-232 and one RS-485 port, and a dual Nano-SIM slot. The fanless IP30 DIN-rail housing accepts 9–48 V DC. The NRQ3 model is certified with Verizon (NSA), AT&T, T-Mobile and FirstNet, and is managed through InHand DeviceLive.

  • 5G NR SA/NSA up to 3.4 Gbps downlink with LTE/WCDMA fallback (North American NRQ3 module)
  • Dual-band Wi-Fi 5, IEEE 802.11ac Wave2 MU-MIMO, up to 300 Mbps (2.4 GHz) / 867 Mbps (5 GHz)
  • 4 × 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports configurable as WAN/LAN/VLAN with 1.5 kV isolation
  • 1 × RS-232 + 1 × RS-485 with 15 kV ESD protection, DTU mode and Modbus RTU-to-TCP bridge
  • Dual Nano-SIM failover, interface backup, heartbeat link detection and embedded watchdog
  • IPsec, L2TP, OpenVPN and WireGuard VPN with firewall, policy-based routing and 802.1X
  • Fanless IP30 metal DIN-rail housing, 9–48 V DC input, -35 °C to 70 °C standard operation
  • Delivers 5G bandwidth for video, telemetry and data-heavy edge applications at remote sites

The InHand Networks IR624-NRQ3-WLAN-S is the North American 5G version of the IR624 industrial router, configured with Wi-Fi and serial interfaces. It is built for industrial sites, edge deployments and enterprise IoT networks that need high bandwidth and low latency in a compact DIN-rail unit. The NRQ3 module supports 5G NR in SA and NSA modes at up to 3.4 Gbps downlink, with fallback to LTE and WCDMA. InHand lists certification with Verizon (NSA), AT&T, T-Mobile and FirstNet (5G), plus FCC, IC and PTCRB.

On the local side, four 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports can be assigned as WAN, LAN or VLAN, each with 1.5 kV isolation. Dual-band Wi-Fi 5 (IEEE 802.11ac Wave2 MU-MIMO) delivers up to 300 Mbps on 2.4 GHz and 867 Mbps on 5 GHz, in AP or Client mode. One RS-232 and one RS-485 port, both with 15 kV ESD protection, handle TCP/UDP transparent DTU transmission and Modbus RTU-to-TCP bridging.

Resilience comes from interface backup, dual-SIM failover, heartbeat link detection with auto-redial and an embedded watchdog. Security includes firewall filtering, policy-based routing and 802.1X, with IPsec, L2TP, OpenVPN and WireGuard VPN. Routing supports static routes and BGP, and QoS traffic shaping and link monitoring (delay, jitter, packet loss) are built in.

The router runs on an 880 MHz CPU with 256 MB RAM and 128 MB flash, in a 544 g fanless metal housing. It accepts 9–48 V DC and operates from -35 °C to 70 °C, or -40 °C to 75 °C on extended versions. The standard package lists the router, a power supply, antennas, an Ethernet cable and a DIN-rail kit, though contents vary by order code. The IR624 Datasheet V1.0 is available.

Ideal for

  • High-bandwidth 5G WAN for industrial automation cells and edge computing
  • Video surveillance and data backhaul from remote or temporary sites
  • Primary or failover connectivity for branch, retail and kiosk networks
  • Public-safety and critical infrastructure deployments on FirstNet
  • Serial PLC and meter integration with Modbus RTU-to-TCP bridging
