LTE ルーターとは、そして「LTE」とはなにか？Wi-Fiとの違いや、最適な用途までまるっと解説！ More News 1/28/2026 Meet Altos: The Wi-Fi 7 Router Invited to Your Living Room 1/21/2026 Managed vs unmanaged switches: choose the right fit 1/20/2026 Password Security Standards – Best Practices to Protect your Devices LTEルーターのすべて – 基礎から用途まで完全解説 12 December 2023 LTEルーターとはLTE通信を利用したネットワークの中継器のことです。特にIoT化やDX化が推進されている産業分野においては、インターネットを利用するために欠かせない存在となっています。この記事では「LTEとは何か」という基本から、同じく無線通信の規格である、Wi-Fiとの違い、そしてLTEルーターの最適な用途までまるっと解説いたします。これを読めば、LTEルーターについてのすべてがわかります！ LTEルーターの「LTE」とはなにか そもそもLTEとは何でしょう？LTEとは、Long Term Evolution（ロング・ターム・レボリューション）を略した言葉で、「3.9G」（ 第3.9世代移動通信システム ）と呼ばれる通信規格の一つです。 スマートフォン（携帯電話）を利用するときに、画面の右上に「3G」や「4G」または「LTE」という表示がでているのを目にしたことがありますよね？ 最近は「5G」が表示されることも多くなっているかもしれません。この「●G」が表示されている場合、そのスマートフォンはこの「移動通信システム」を使って通信しています。 「●G」の数字が大きくなればなるほど通信速度が速くなります。LTEは「3.9G」なので、ちょうど「3G」と「4G」の間に入ります。つまり速度の速さで並べると、遅いほうから「3G＜LTE＜4G＜5G」となるわけです。 正確にいうと、「3.9G」は数字的にほぼ「4G」よりですよね。というわけで最近では「4G/LTE」とまとめることも多く、「LTE」と「4G」がほぼ同義の意味で使用されるケースが増えています。「LTEルーター」≒「4Gルーター」と解釈してもらってかまいません。 LTEのしくみ LTEのネットワーク電波のしくみはどうなっているのでしょうか。実は全国のいたる場所に、移動通信の無線基地局が設置されています。わかりやすく言えば、ドコモやauなどのモバイルキャリアが設置している基地局です。この基地局を利用して電波の受信／発信がされているのです。 日本の4大モバイルキャリア（ドコモ／au／ソフトバンク／楽天モバイル）が持つ 基地局の合計数 は、4G/LTE電波に関しては2022年の時点で672,443となっています。 例えば電車の中で長距離を移動しながらスマートフォンを使用しても、基本的に通信が途切れないのは、これだけ多くの基地局がそれぞれ一定の範囲でネットワーク通信をカバーしているからです。 モバイル対応デバイス（例えばスマホなど）は通信の際、基地局Aから、基地局B、基地局Ｃ、というように強い電波を勝手に探し、自動的に拾いながら通信をつづける、というしくみになっています。 このテクノロジーのおかげで、私たちは全国（ほぼ）どこにいっても携帯電話で通話したりネットを閲覧したりすることができるわけです。 実は、「LTE」はじめとするこの移動通信規格は、携帯電話の通信以外にも多様されています。インターネットの固定回線なしで、広範囲に安定したネットワーク通信ができるという特徴から、さまざまな用途に使われているのです。のちほど詳しく解説いたします。 LTEとWi-Fiの違いは ここで、LTEとWi -Fiの違いにも軽く触れておきましょう。どちらも同じ無線通信ということでLTEはよくWi-Fiと比較されますが、両者は異なる仕組みをもっています。 Wi-Fiは無線LANの通信規格の一つ。 無線LAN機能をもつ製品のうち「Wi-Fi Alliance」という団体が定める規格を満たした製品だけが「Wi-Fi」と名乗ることができるのです。（ちなみに、無線LANの他の規格としては 「Bluetooth」「Ultra Wideband」などがあります。） Wi-Fiルーターを使って、LAN（ローカル・エリア・ネットワーク）のインターネットに接続するのが「Wi-Fi接続」。対して、WAN（ワイド・エリア・ネットワーク）を利用し、各モバイルキャリア（日本でいえばドコモ／auなど）の所有する基地局を介して飛んでくるLTE電波をキャッチし、インターネットに接続するのが「LTE接続」となります。 LTEルーターの用途は無限大 さて、「LTE」および「LTEルーター」のしくみについてご説明してきました。ところで「LTEルーター」は、どのような場面で使用するのでしょうか？LTE通信が持つ最大のメリットは、固定回線が不要で簡単にネットワークが構築できること。その特徴から、産業用途のIoTネットワーク通信に非常に適しているといえます。事例を交えてご紹介しましょう。 1. 遠隔地／屋外／無人環境などでインターネット接続が必要な場合 市街地から遠く離れた、山の奥や農地は固定回線を使ったネットワークの構築が非常に困難です。そのような場合にLTE電波を使って安定したインターネット接続を確保することができます。 例えば、農業の自動化についてご紹介します。広大な農地を管理運用を効率化するために、水や肥料などを供給する 灌漑システムの無人化／自動化 に踏み切ったとしましょう。この場合、まずは農地に設置された灌漑システムにネットワーク通信システムが必要です。 しかし、農地というのはたいてい田舎にあり、敷地が広大です。固定回線で安定したインターネット接続を構築するのが非常に難しいわけです。そこで固定回線を引くかわりに農業機器にLTEルーターを取り付け、ネットワークを構築します。これで、必要な時に必要な分だけ畑に水を供給できるようになり、無駄な人員の削減と水の節約を達成できます。（この事例の詳細は、下記トポロジをクリックしてご覧ください。） また、 EV充電ステーションの管理のIoT化という事例 もあります。近年EV車が増えており、それに合わせてEV充電ステーションの増設も確実です。ひとつのステーションにつき数十個の充電器が設置されるわけで、これらを管理運用するには自動化が必須でしょう。 しかしEV充電ステーションは必ずしも、インターネットの固定回線が引きやすい市街地に設置されるとはかぎりません。田舎道や、山の奥など不便な場所にもまんべんなく必要です。（でないと、山奥でEV車が止まってしまったら大変なことになります。） そんな場合にEV充電ステーションにLTEルーター組み込むことで、安定したインターネット接続を提供し、遠隔から複数のEV充電ステーションを管理することが可能になるわけです。（この事例の詳細は、下記トポロジをクリックしてご覧ください。） 2．移動体にインターネット接続が必要な場合 LTEルーター（4Gルーター）の機能は移動体、つまり「動くもの」にインターネットを搭載する場合にも大活躍します。3G、4G/LTE、5Gなどは、携帯電話での通話やインターネットの閲覧に使用されていることからもわかるとおり、動き回りながらでも安定した通信ができるのが特徴です。 「移動体」に LTEルーターを装備すること でインターネット・コネクティビティを搭載した事例を、ご紹介しましょう。一つ目は、 警護輸送車にLTEルーターを設置 した例です。この警護輸送車にはセキュリティの観点から複数のビデオカメラを搭載し、本部からリアルタイムで監視する必要がありました。 結論としては、車両にLTEルーターを搭載することで問題が解決しました。広範囲を移動する車両に安定したネットワーク接続を確保することができたのです。（この事例の詳細は、下記トポロジをクリックしてご覧ください。） また、人道的なプロジェクトにLTEルーターが役に立った事例もあります。 ポーランドのヴロツワフ科学技術大学の学生ロボティクス研究会が開発した、 自律型地雷除去ロボット「アリアドナ」にも、LTEルーターが取付け られました。「アリアドナ」にはLIDAR、GPS、IMUや深度カメラなど様々なセンサーやデバイスが取り付けられており、それらを駆使して無人で地雷を除去します。 これらを機器を円滑に運用するためには、アドリアナ本体に安定したインターネット接続が必須です。この事例においてもLTEルーターをアドリアナに取り付けることで、この課題を解決できました。 （この事例の詳細は、下記トポロジをクリックしてご覧ください。） このようにインターネットの固定回線の設置が難しい様々な状況において、LTEルーターを使用したネットワーク接続の構築は、非常に便利です。そのようなわけで、LTEルーターはこのように産業用途にかかせないデバイスとなっているのです。 LTEルーターならテルトニカ・ネットワークス 産業用IoTのネットワーク機器の世界市場で、トップ3にはいるメーカーであるテルトニカ・ネットワークスは、様々な産業用ネットワーク接続デバイスを製造・販売しています。LTEルーターの ラインナップ も非常に充実しており、コンパクトで使いやすいベストセラー製品「RUT241」から5Gの高速通信が可能な「RUTX50」まで、お客様のニーズに合わせた製品のご紹介が可能です。（技適承認済み／承認申請中の製品がございます） 当社のLTEルーターは筐体がアルミニウム製で、 非常に堅牢 です。温度耐性の幅も―40℃～75℃と 大変広く 、どんな産業用途にも安心してご利用いただけます。 当社は創業がリトアニアですが、いまでは世界21カ国31カ所にオフィスを構え、当社の製品は180カ国でご利用いただいています。日本では、技適承認済みの19製品を販売しており、商品ラインナップはこれからも増えていく予定でございます。 もし当社の製品にご興味をもっていただけましたら、ぜひ下記の「お問い合わせ」からご連絡ください。また、ご不明点やご質問もお気軽にご連絡いただければと思います。 LIKE THIS STORY?

Ensure your networking solutions are complete: see how networking devices differ from one another. More News 1/28/2026 Meet Altos: The Wi-Fi 7 Router Invited to Your Living Room 1/21/2026 Managed vs unmanaged switches: choose the right fit 1/20/2026 Password Security Standards – Best Practices to Protect your Devices Mastering the Art of Your Networking Solutions 18 April 2024 Mastering your networking solutions requires care and attention, just like any other form of art. From each device’s hardware and software capabilities to supported technologies – there’s so much more than simple network connectivity support. So, let’s look at the most common networking devices and their peculiarities one by one and side to side, leading you to immediate expertise level-up! There’s no doubt that a plethora of diverse networking devices in the IoT market can cause confusion over which device does what. And since having a well-tuned network infrastructure is great for its management purposes and overall security, knowing which option is best for you is more than recommended. Don’t worry, we’re here to help you get the gist of what lies behind every Teltonika Networks networking device product category, so you become an expert of your solution’s destiny! Cellular modems – one task and one task only Cellular modems, like the Teltonika Networks TRM240 and TRM250 , serve a very simple yet meaningful purpose in your network infrastructure: they are responsible for providing network connectivity for connected devices by converting cellular signals to electric ones. Now, the way they do so involves two function words – modulating and demodulating. To enable Internet access for a computer, a cellular modem demodulates analogue signals incoming from external sources, like a mobile connection, and converts them into a format the computer can understand. Conversely, when data from a computer needs to be sent back to the external source, a modem modulates computer signals back to cellular ones. A fun fact is that this is where a modem gets its name, as its main (and really only) task is to modulate and demodulate these two types of signals. Speaking of names, you might encounter some source that uses “modem” and “router” interchangeably, which is incorrect. We’re here to break it up to you that a modem and a router are two distinct networking devices that differ vastly in their capabilities and functions. Routers – take the connectivity control wheel A router is a more complex device that controls and routes data packets travelling within your network infrastructure and their paths to end devices. As a matter of fact, some routers, like all Teltonika Networks ones, have built-in cellular modems. These types of routers can entirely eliminate the need for a modem to connect your networking solutions to the Internet, becoming the only brain for network management. These networking devices can be cellular or non-cellular , distinguishing themselves with their WAN offerings: cellular routers are a perfect choice in cases when connectivity support cannot compromise the solution’s mobility or needs mobile connectivity support. Non-cellular routers are great when industrial networking solutions are stationary and don’t require an additional WAN interface. Since the primary goal of routers is to control how data packets are transmitted from WAN to LAN or vice versa, routers can be equipped with multiple interfaces for easy data reading. Ethernet, SFP, RS232, and RS485 interfaces are additions to the router that help reduce the number of converters needed for communication or data exchange. By incorporating these interfaces directly into routers, it becomes easier to support a broad spectrum of applications, ranging from simple home office network infrastructure to mission-critical industrial networking solutions . Additionally, routers enable you to configure and control Wi-Fi networks, permit or deny access to the Internet for end devices, prioritise traffic, set specific data transmissions, and implement other multiple great configuration options. Routers have multiple built-in security measures, like firewalls, VPNs, and other data tunnelling services. These measures are great for preventing any unauthorised access or data leaks. Cellular gateways – for your niche networking solutions When examining the functionality of most gateways and routers, you might encounter many similarities between the two. Both routers and gateways operate autonomously and are typically equipped with comprehensive security features, including firewalls and data tunnelling capabilities. However, what primarily distinguishes these devices is the number of interfaces they have and the number of devices they can support. While routers are designed to have multiple interfaces, cellular gateways are most commonly created to accommodate just a single interface. Just a single interface? Yes. This is done to make gateways a more fitting option that offers a simpler and more cost-efficient way of providing networking solutions with Internet access than some routers would. Cellular gateways can be developed with niche technologies, protocols, or data readings in mind, minimising the need for additional data converters or components that could potentially increase security risks or concerns. Like our TRB143 , which was made to support the M-Bus protocol for telemetry data readings specifically. Ethernet switches – increasing connectivity, effortlessly In a nutshell, network switches are data and connectivity distributors that travel within your networking solution’s infrastructure. This device provides more interfaces into which you can plug more end devices and thus extend your local area network (LAN). Teltonika Networks offers two types of network switches – unmanaged and managed switches. While both are designed to enhance the scalability of networking solutions, they differ in functionality and complexity that lie behind their aluminium housing . Unmanaged switches are plug-and-play and user-friendly, allowing for effortless integration into your network infrastructure. By simply plugging one into your networking solution, you can immediately expand its scalability without additional settings or configurations. Managed switches, however, are more complex. These network switches offer advanced control and monitoring capabilities for your networking equipment. However, utilising them effectively requires a bit more technical know-how . If you want to know the magic and power behind Ethernet switches , there’s no better time to do that than now! Wireless access points – your portal to wireless communication Whenever you find yourself dealing with Wi-Fi dead spots , wireless access points come to the rescue. Similar to network switches, these devices are designed to extend your network’s Internet support, but they do so wirelessly. Connected to your network infrastructure via Ethernet cables, access points enable seamless network sharing with end devices such as laptops or tablets. This helps distribute data traffic across more devices, while at the same time preventing network congestion. Typically mounted on ceilings, wireless access points like the Teltonika Networks TAP100 and TAP200 are crafted to blend into their surroundings and cause zero trouble when installed. To achieve this, these wireless access points have PoE technology, allowing for convenient powering over the same Ethernet cable used for connectivity. What’s great with wireless access points is that they support WPA3, the same data encryption technology used by Teltonika Networks routers, enhancing security measures. Congratulations, you’re now an expert! A long ride but for a good cause – understanding and acknowledging each device’s purpose and specification will become extremely handy when deciding your networking solution’s components.
