What every Instaroute router does
WAN resilience
Dual-SIM arbitration by signal, latency or data usage (on dual-SIM models); any-port WAN; link backup, switch and load balance with health checks; IPv6 dual-stack
VPN
IPsec IKEv1/v2 (AES-GCM, SHA-2, DH groups 14–16), OpenVPN, L2TP, GRE/mGRE/IPIP, DMVPN, EoIP, out-of-band management (OOBM)
Security
Zone firewall, ACL, MAC filter and NAT; SPI and DoS protection; domain filter; RADIUS and TACACS+ login
Industrial protocols
Modbus RTU/ASCII/TCP gateway, DNP3, IEC 60870-5-101/104, MQTT data publisher; serial DTU over TCP or UDP on models with RS232/RS485 ports
Management protocols
Web UI, CLI, SSH, SNMP v2c/v3, TR-069, syslog
Fleet management
Instaroute Lite Series: managed from Instaroute SDWAN Lite 2.0, with zero-touch provisioning, canary firmware rollout with rollback, alarms and browser SSH; flat per-device pricing, no data metering; hosted in India or self-hosted. Enterprise X Series: managed from the Nexapp Controller (SD-WAN Enterprise).
Protects IPsec tunnels against future quantum attacks
Hybrid post-quantum key exchange (classical + ML-KEM, NIST FIPS 203) on IPsec IKEv2 tunnels; ML-DSA (FIPS 204) authentication; post-quantum-signed firmware and configuration. Protects against harvest-now, decrypt-later. Post-quantum mode is on by default

Where can I install the IRX1160-ODU-5G?
Mounting: Outdoor, pole or mast.
Ingress protection: IP65. It is built for outdoor poles and masts.
Does the IRX1160-ODU-5G support dual SIM?
No. The IRX1160-ODU-5G has one SIM slot.
For SIM failover between two operators, choose a dual-SIM Instaroute model.
Does the IRX1160-ODU-5G have Wi-Fi and serial ports?
Wi-Fi: Yes and no serial ports.
Which Instaroute router should I use for an ATM?
Most ATM estates use a dual-SIM 4G router from the IR1100 series.
Choose the dual-module IR11004GDW if you want both operators live at once, for faster failover. We have moved 2,500 ATM sites from VSAT to dual-LTE using this approach.
How does dual-SIM failover work?
NexappOS monitors both SIMs and picks the active one by signal strength, latency or data usage.
If your primary link degrades, traffic moves to the second operator automatically. Dual-module models keep both links up at the same time and can load-balance across them.
Are Instaroute routers TEC MTCTE certified?
Nine of the ten cellular models are.
TEC MTCTE certificate 244903206, valid to March 2035, covers the IR11004GS, IR11004GSW, IR11004GD, IR11004GDW, IR1180DM, IR1190DMG, IR1105-ODU-4G, IRX100-5G and IRX1160-ODU-5G. It does not cover the IRX100-5Gv2 or the IRX400 to IRX5000 edges. You can check it on the public MTCTE portal.
Do the routers support SCADA and industrial protocols?
Yes. NexappOS provides a Modbus RTU/ASCII/TCP gateway, DNP3, IEC 60870-5-101/104 and MQTT, over RS232/RS485 or Ethernet.
The DIN-rail IR1180DM and IR1190DMG are built for your panels and substations.
Should I choose 4G or 5G?
Choose 4G for ATMs, POS, meters and telemetry, where coverage and reliability matter most.
Choose 5G (IRX100) for CCTV, busy branches and bandwidth-heavy sites. The IRX100 supports both 5G SA and NSA networks on sub-6 GHz bands.
Are the VPN tunnels quantum-safe?
Instaroute IPsec IKEv2 tunnels use hybrid post-quantum key exchange (classical + ML-KEM, NIST FIPS 203).
You also get ML-DSA authentication and post-quantum-signed firmware. This protects your traffic against harvest-now, decrypt-later attacks. See post-quantum cryptography for algorithms and versions.
How do I manage hundreds or thousands of routers?
Manage Lite Series routers from Instaroute SDWAN Lite 2.0, hosted by Nexapp in India or self-hosted in your data centre.
It handles zero-touch provisioning, firmware rollout, alarms and remote access. You pay a flat per-device price, with no data metering. You manage Enterprise X Series edges from the Nexapp Controller.
What warranty and support do I get?
Our 24×7 NOC in Pune and country-wide field operations back every router.
One SLA covers hardware, firmware and platform. Warranty and RMA terms: coming soon.
