FOUR-FAITH
Industrial routers, M2M modems, IoT gateways and cellular communication
About the manufacturer
Four-Faith is a Chinese provider of industrial communication equipment and IoT solutions founded in 2008. The company develops products for reliable data transmission between field devices, remote infrastructure and IP networks, with a portfolio that includes industrial cellular routers, M2M modems, gateways, LoRa/LoRaWAN and Zigbee devices, industrial computers, switches and related communication equipment.
Its products are designed for unattended and industrial environments where communication equipment may operate continuously over wide temperature and supply-voltage ranges. Many devices combine cellular connectivity with Ethernet, Wi-Fi and serial interfaces such as RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485. This makes it possible to connect both modern IP equipment and installed PLCs, meters, controllers and sensors within the same communication architecture.
Four-Faith solutions are used in telemetry, SCADA, utilities, transport, smart-city infrastructure, environmental monitoring and other distributed systems. For remote installations, features such as watchdog functions, VPN support, dual-SIM options, protocol conversion and remote management can be particularly important. The company’s industrial networking approach is aimed at maintaining stable communication where consumer networking hardware would not provide the required interfaces, environmental tolerance or serviceability.
