Operating systems freezing on a modem, kiosk, digital sign, ATM, BTM, ITM, or other devices?

A remote power reboot router could get you back up and running. If your device is at a remote location or in a hard-to-reach place, often sending a technician to the site is your only option. The most widely available device that allows for a remote reboot is commonly known as a Switched Power Distribution Unit (PDU) or IP power switch. Using a web application, it can toggle power on and off for individual power outlets. Problem solved? Not so simple. Today’s Switched PDUs require a separate network such as an Ethernet plug-in or Wi-Fi network, which means if the modem or your network goes down, you have lost the ability to remotely reboot the power.

Streamline your hardware with an all-in-one device: Ventus VRB842 combines an IP power switch and 4G LTE router

 The VRB842 features a dual SIM cellular router equipped with two Ethernet ports and two 10A power outlets, giving it the ability to remotely control, restart, and cycle the power supply for a modem or other connected devices. Operating with our unique Genesis monitoring platform, the VRB842 enables you to oversee network uptime and the ability to remotely reboot each power outlet at all your locations with a single interface, putting you in total control of every one of your units from anywhere.
