Perle IRG7440 5G/LTE Cellular Router Hardware Installation Guide
Preface
Audience
This guide is for the network or computer technician responsible for installing the Perle IRG7440
5G/LTE Cellular router also generically referred to as the IRG7440 within this document. Familiarity
with the concepts and terminology of Cellular Networks, GNSS, Ethernet, and LAN (local area net-
works) is required.
Purpose
Perle routers provide users, networking equipment, as well as M2M & IoT appliances with network
connectivity for fixed locations (i.e. buildings, POS, Kiosks, …etc.) and mobile (i.e. vehicle, trains,
robots) applications. In vehicular applications, the router provides connectivity and does not interact
with the vehicle’s operation or vehicle operators.
This document describes the hardware and physical characteristics of the Perle IRG7440 Series of
Routers. It covers hardware features as well as installation and operation. This document does not
cover how to configure your Perle IRG7440 router. Information to configure your Perle router can be
found in the Perle IRG7000/5000 5G/LTE Router User’s Guide and the Perle IRG7000/5000 5G/LTE
Router Command Line Reference Guide on the Perle website. Quick Start information can be found
in the IRG7440 5G Cellular Router Quick Start Guide (QSG) that comes with your product.
