IRVINE, Calif., Jan. 31, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- CalAmp (NASDAQ: CAMP), a leading provider of wireless products, services and solutions, today announced that the Vanguard 400 and Vanguard 600 industrial-grade cellular routers are now available with 4G LTE Category 1 (Cat1) technology. The enhanced Vanguard routers combine next generation 4G LTE Cat1 cellular technology with 3G fallback to provide reliable and future-proof fixed asset monitoring and control. These powerful routers enable a broad range of applications such as Industrial IoT (IIoT), telemetry, intelligent traffic systems and remote site applications requiring reliable primary, temporary or back-up internet connectivity to maximize uptime and improve operational efficiencies.
