Milesight UR75: the rugged 5G industrial router for UK CCTV, SCADA and remote assets

If you’re upgrading from 4G or deploying new edge sites, the Milesight UR75 gives you carrier-grade 5G performance, industrial I/O, and optional PoE — in a compact DIN-railable box. With dual-SIM failover, 5× Gigabit Ethernet, RS232/RS485, DI/DO, -40 to +70 °C operation and Wi-Fi 6, UR75 is a reliable backbone for CCTV backhaul, pumps & kiosks, digital signage, and mobile/temporary networks. resource.milesight.com

Why UK engineers choose UR75

• True industrial build: IP30 metal enclosure, DIN-rail/wall/desktop mounting, and a wide temperature range for plant rooms, cabinets and trackside enclosures. resource.milesight.com

• 5G now, multi-bearer always: 5G SA/NSA with dual-SIM backup and Ethernet/Wi-Fi WAN failover for uptime in poor coverage areas. resource.milesight.com

• Edge connectivity you actually need: 5× Gigabit (1× WAN + 4× LAN), RS232 + RS485, 1× DI/1× DO, USB-C for power/config, plus GNSS for location/time. resource.milesight.com

• Optional PoE PSE: power up to four PoE devices (802.3af/at) directly from the router — perfect for multi-camera poles and kiosks. (Use a 48 V input to enable PoE.) resource.milesight.com

• Modern security & management: IPsec/OpenVPN, VLANs, ACL/DMZ, watchdog, SNMP and Milesight DeviceHub for fleet management; Node-RED support for quick edge logic. resource.milesight.com

Best-fit UK applications (and how to deploy fast)

1) Rapid CCTV backhaul & temporary sites

Drop a UR75 with the PoE variant into a cabinet, power cameras directly from the router and uplink over 5G. Dual-SIM failover keeps footage flowing; GNSS time-stamps help VMS correlation. Add Wi-Fi 6 for local access during commissioning. resource.milesight.com

2) Utilities & SCADA kiosks (water, energy, environment)

Use RS485/RS232 for PLC/RTU connectivity, map Modbus to MQTT, and tunnel securely with IPsec/OpenVPN to your control room. DI/DO supports basic alarms and remote resets without a site visit. resource.milesight.com

3) Digital signage & retail POP

Gigabit LAN for media players; policy routing and VLANs keep store IT segmented. PoE variant simplifies power at the edge and reduces PSU clutter. resource.milesight.com

4) Transport & remote telemetry

Ruggedised design, wide temperature operation and GNSS make UR75 suitable for cabinets near trackside or wayside assets where service continuity matters. resource.milesight.com

Choosing your UR75 model (simple guide)

• UR75 with PoE (“-P” models): choose this for multi-camera poles, kiosks, or when you want the router to power peripherals. (Remember 48 V input for PoE.) resource.milesight.com

• UR75 with Wi-Fi (“-W2” models): pick this if you need Wi-Fi 6 for field laptops/tablets or as a wireless WAN client. resource.milesight.com

• Need 4G only or fewer features? Compare with UR35 (cost-effective industrial 4G router) or UR41 (mini router) to match budget and feature set. indiott.com+1

Quick deployment checklist (engineer-friendly)

1. SIMs & APNs: provision two UK SIMs (different networks) to leverage dual-SIM failover. resource.milesight.com

2. Power: 9–48 VDC. Use 48 VDC when PoE output is required; budget up to 60 W total PoE. resource.milesight.com

3. Antennas & GNSS: fit the supplied cellular/Wi-Fi/GPS antennas or specify high-gain externals if cabinet/shielding demands it. resource.milesight.com

4. Security: enable IPsec/OpenVPN, lock down management (ACL), and segment traffic with VLANs. resource.milesight.com

5. Fleet management: add the device to Milesight DeviceHub for remote config, firmware, alerts and SNMP/SMS notifications. resource.milesight.com

UR75 vs “consumer 5G routers” — what you gain

Consumer routers rarely offer industrial I/O, DIN-rail mounting, watchdog recovery, dual-SIM backup, or RS485/DI/DO for plant integration. UR75 delivers all of that with Wi-Fi 6 and proper VPNs, which is why it’s designed for plant rooms and cabinets — not coffee tables. resource.milesight.com

Frequently asked questions

Does the UR75 support Wi-Fi 6?
Yes — dual-band concurrent Wi-Fi 6 (2.4 GHz + 5 GHz) with up to ~1.8 Gbps link rate. resource.milesight.com

Can it power cameras or sensors?
Choose the PoE PSE variant for up to 4× 802.3af/at ports (30 W per port, 60 W total). Feed the router with 48 V to enable PoE output. resource.milesight.com

Is it suitable for harsh sites?
Yes — –40…+70 °C operating range, IP30 metal case, and DIN-rail mounting. resource.milesight.com
