Lantronix E214F00CS — China, India LTE Cat-1 Dual SIM Router

The Lantronix E214F00CS is the China and India version of the E210 Series LTE Cat-1 router. It is a compact industrial unit for IoT and enterprise projects in those markets. The radio supports LTE Cat-1 on FDD bands B1, B3, B5 and B8 and TDD bands B40 and B41, with 3G and 2G fallback. It is not the right model for US networks. Lantronix offers the E214G000S (AT&T, T-Mobile) and E214G001S (Verizon) for North America. The router supports dual SIM in single standby, using two mini-SIM trays. Failover or load balancing can be configured across cellular, Ethernet WAN and Wi-Fi, and SIM switching can be based on quality of service or on scripts you write. Interfaces include two 10/100 Ethernet ports (one WAN, reconfigurable as a second LAN), 1T1R Wi-Fi 4 as client or access point, a full RS-232 port on a 9-pin sub-D, and two configurable digital I/Os. RS-485 is available through the optional SC485 Snap Cap. The Linux-based ePack software adds OpenVPN, IPsec (up to 4 channels), WireGuard, L2TP and GRE, plus a zone-based firewall, VLAN and DMZ. Protocol converters bridge Modbus, DNP3 and IEC 60870-5-101/104, and forward data to MQTT, Azure or Cumulocity. Developers can extend the router with the G520 SDK in Python or C/C++ and log data to microSD. The router can be managed centrally through Percepxion, TR-069 or SMS/OTA configuration. The housing is brushed aluminum, measures 92.5 x 57.2 x 22.5 mm and weighs about 150 g. The router runs on 8–32 V DC and operates from -20 °C to +70 °C.
