The Cisco Catalyst IR1101 Rugged is a compact yet extremely powerful modular router, specifically designed for industrial IoT applications. It is the brain that connects advanced sensors – such as road maintenance stations, lightning detectors, and structural monitoring systems – to the cloud. Thanks to its modular design, it can be easily upgraded from 4G to 5G, future-proofing your investment.

Designed to withstand vibrations, shocks and extreme temperatures, the IR1101 is the obvious choice for sectors such as energy, transportation and mining. With built-in world-class security (Cisco IOS XE), it protects your data from cyber threats while delivering stable connectivity where regular routers fail. For Stormex customers in demanding environments, this is the backbone of a reliable measurement and warning system.
