BRIEF INTRODUCTION

1. General

MTX-Router-Helios Lite 4G WiFi is a kind of terminal device that developed based on 2G/3G/4G, WiFi,
VPN technology. It adopts high-powered industrial 32-bits CPU and embedded real time operating
system. It supports RS232 (or RS485), Ethernet and WiFi port that can conveniently and transparently
connect one device to a cellular network, allowing to connect to existing serial, Ethernet and WiFi

devices with only basic conguration.

It has been widely used on M2M elds, such as intelligent transportation, smart grid, postal services,
industrial automation, telemetry, nance, POS, water supply, environment protection, post, weather,

and so on.
