About the rCell 300 Industrial Cellular Router

The MultiTech rCell 300 router is both an industrial router and a specialized network device designed to connect internet-of-things (IoT) devices. The rCell 300 provides enhanced security to protect against cyber threats, includes edge intelligence to run local applications, and offers secure data communication between many types of devices that use legacy or the latest communication technologies. The rCell 300 can be remotely managed via MultiTech Device Manager.



Intended Use

The rCell 300 is designed for a variety of industrial and IoT applications. Some of its intended uses include:

  • Remote monitoring and control: This device is ideal for remote monitoring and control of equipment and systems in industries such as oil and gas, utilities, and agriculture. The rCell 300 allows for real-time data collection and management of remote locations.
  • Smart cities and infrastructure: This device can be used in smart-city applications, including traffic management, environmental monitoring, and electric vehicle charging stations.
  • Industrial automation: This device works with current industrial automation equipment (such as RTU) for remote data collection, fault notifications, control/manage field equipment.

The rCell 300 can be used in applications that require equipment to operate in harsh environments. For outdoor deployments, the rCell 300 must be installed in a waterproof enclosure.

1 Actual device performance speeds may be affected by cell tower distance, data loads, packet sizes, etc.
2 This current rating is driven by the Safety Standards. 1 A is the maximum current draw over the entire voltage range. This rating includes 20% margin under full load conditions. Actual power consumption varies with the input voltage selected.
3 Operating temperatures vary based on the power supply:
  • MultiTech‑provided power supply: UL listed at 40 °C (limited by power supply)
  • Customer‑provided DC power cable: UL listed at 75 °C
  • Customer‑provided power supply: Operating temperature determined by power supply specifications and environmental installation location
4 The rCell 300 supports other cell providers outside of North America based on the Frequency bands.
