Milesight UR32S Lite Series 4G Router with WiFi, 2 x Ethernet and POE Out (UR32S-L0GEU-P)

Milesight UR32S-L0GEU-P Lite Series 4G Router with PoE Output and Wi-Fi

The Milesight UR32S-L0GEU-P is a compact industrial 4G LTE Cat 4 router with 802.3af/at PoE PSE output on both LAN ports, 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and a single Mini SIM slot. It is the fully specified model in the Lite Series. The PoE output is what earns it a place in a remote enclosure: 30 W per port and 60 W in total, enough to run an IP camera, a wireless access point or an access control reader from the same box that provides the cellular link.

Key features

• PoE PSE on both LAN ports: 802.3af and 802.3at, up to 30 W per port and 60 W across the pair.
• 48 V PSU included: PoE output activates only when the router itself is fed 48 V DC, and the supply that does it is in the box. A 12 V or 24 V panel rail runs the router alone.
• 4G LTE Cat 4: 150 Mbps download and 50 Mbps upload, with 3G and 2G fallback across global carrier networks.
• 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi: 802.11b/g/n in AP or client mode, with WPA and WPA2 authentication and WEP, TKIP or AES encryption.
• Automatic WAN failover: the router monitors the Ethernet WAN and switches to cellular on link loss, then falls back without manual action.
• Single SIM: one Mini SIM (2FF) slot at 1.8 V / 3 V.
• Separate antenna connectors: 1 x SMA female for cellular and 1 x RP-SMA female for Wi-Fi. They are not interchangeable.
• VPN: IPsec and OpenVPN with multiple clients and a server, plus GRE, L2TP, PPTP and DMVPN.
• CCTV remote access: MilesightVPN and the M-Sight Pro app give installers batch remote access to connected Milesight cameras and NVRs.
• Fleet management: the Milesight Development Platform and DeviceHub handle mass configuration, firmware updates and status monitoring.
• Industrial platform: ARM Cortex-A7 at 528 MHz, 128 MB DDR3 RAM, 128 MB flash and a hardware watchdog that recovers the unit without a site visit.
• Industrial build: metal IP30 housing, -40 to +70 degrees C, DIN rail, wall or desktop mounting.

What is the UR32S-L0GEU-P used for?

Remote CCTV columns and camera poles

A camera on a pole needs two things that usually arrive on two separate circuits: a network connection and power. The UR32S-L0GEU-P delivers both. The cellular modem carries video back to the head-end, and the PoE port powers the camera over the same Cat 5e run. An installer joins the router’s Wi-Fi from a phone, binds it in M-Sight Pro, and the cameras behind it appear ready for remote access. MilesightVPN carries the traffic without exposing the recorder to the internet.

Access control on outbuildings and gates

Barrier controllers, door readers and IP intercoms sit at the edge of a site where there is no structured cabling and often no mains within reach of the door. Feed the router 48 V from the nearest cabinet, run one Cat 5e to the reader, and the reader has power and a route to the access control server. The digital state of the site is then visible from the head-end over a VPN tunnel rather than from a walk round.

Temporary compounds and event infrastructure

Construction compounds, festivals and pop-up sites need a camera, a Wi-Fi network and an uplink, all of it gone in six weeks. This router is all three. The 9 to 48 V DC input means a battery or solar controller can run it, though PoE output needs 48 V, so size the supply for the router plus the full camera load before you leave the office.

Wireless access point backhaul

Where coverage needs to extend past what a 2.4 GHz radio in a metal box can manage, a proper access point on a PoE port is the answer. The router powers it, provides its uplink over cellular, and its own Wi-Fi radio drops back to a management SSID or is switched off entirely. This is the correct pattern for anything customer-facing, because the onboard radio is single band.

Retail and branch backup with a camera

Where a fixed line is primary, the router watches it and cuts to cellular when it drops. Tills and card terminals stay online. A single PoE camera over the counter runs from the same unit, and the second Ethernet port serves the till network. A fixed IP SIM card keeps the site reachable for support during the outage, which is precisely when you need to reach it.

Pro tip

Two things decide whether this router works on a pole. First, PoE output is dead below 48 V. The 48 V PSU is in the box, so the risk is not cost. The risk is an installer wiring the router into a 12 V or 24 V panel rail that is already there, then wondering why the camera stays dark. Size the 48 V supply for the router plus the full PoE draw, not the camera’s idle figure, because a PTZ heater at -5 degrees C is a different load to a fixed dome in June. Second, the Lite Series has one cellular antenna connector, not a MAIN and AUX pair. There is no diversity receive to recover a marginal signal, so get that single antenna out of the metal enclosure and onto a bracket. The Wi-Fi port is RP-SMA and will not mate with the cellular SMA antenna.

Building a resilient cellular connection

Be clear about what this router protects against. It carries one SIM, so it cannot fail over from one mobile network to another. Its resilience runs between a wired WAN and cellular, and it does nothing until Link Failover is configured. If a single carrier going down is the risk you are managing, you need two SIMs on two networks, which means the UR32 Pro Series with PoE. Whichever you choose, pair it with a fixed IP SIM card so the site stays reachable, and remember that a UPS behind a PoE router has to carry the camera as well as the router.

Where the UR32S-L0GEU-P sits in the Milesight range

Four Lite Series models share the same 108 x 90 x 26 mm metal case, the same processor and the same 9 to 48 V DC input. What changes is what is fitted inside.

• UR32L-L0GEU: cellular and two Ethernet ports. No Wi-Fi, no PoE.
• UR32L-L0GEU-P: adds PoE PSE on both LAN ports. No Wi-Fi.
• UR32S-L0GEU: adds 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi in AP and client mode. No PoE.
• UR32S-L0GEU-P (this product): Wi-Fi and PoE PSE together.

Above all four sits the UR32 Pro Series. The step up is not a faster modem, because the cellular performance is the same LTE Cat 4. What you gain is a second SIM slot for carrier failover, a second cellular antenna port for MIMO, an RS232/RS485 serial port with a Modbus gateway, galvanically isolated digital I/O, a MicroSD slot and the Python SDK. If the site has serial instruments, needs two networks, or needs code running on the router, buy the UR32-L0GEU-P-W-485. If the site is a camera, an access point and a cellular link, this is the right unit and the cheaper one.

Frequently asked questions

What can I power from the PoE ports?

Both LAN ports supply 802.3af (up to 15.4 W) and 802.3at (up to 30 W). Fixed and PTZ IP cameras, wireless access points, IP intercoms and access control readers all fall inside that envelope. The total budget across both ports is 60 W. The 802.3bt standard, up to 90 W, is not supported. Devices needing more than 30 W require a separate injector or switch.

Do the PoE ports work from a 12 V or 24 V supply?

No. PoE PSE output only activates when the router is fed 48 V DC at its terminal block. The UR32S-L0GEU-P ships with the 48 V PSU it needs, so nothing extra has to be bought. The trap is reusing an existing panel supply. A 12 V or 24 V rail will run the router perfectly well and the PoE ports will stay dead. If you cannot supply 48 V at the router, the non-PoE UR32S-L0GEU is the cheaper unit and a standalone injector does the rest.

What is the difference between the UR32S-L0GEU-P and the UR32L-L0GEU-P?

Wi-Fi. The UR32L-L0GEU-P has the same PoE output, cellular modem, Ethernet ports and VPN stack, but no wireless radio and no RP-SMA connector. Choose the UR32L-P where a radio is unwanted or prohibited, and the UR32S-P where an installer needs to bind the router in M-Sight Pro from a phone or serve a small local network.

Does the UR32S-L0GEU-P have dual SIM failover?

No. It has one Mini SIM (2FF) slot. Failover on the Lite Series runs between the Ethernet WAN and cellular, not between two carriers. For cellular-to-cellular failover across two mobile networks together with PoE, the UR32-L0GEU-P-W-485 in the Pro Series carries two SIM slots.

What SIM card do I need?

A Mini SIM in 2FF format. Standard SIM cards sit behind carrier-grade NAT, which blocks inbound connections from a monitoring platform or a VPN server. Therefore any deployment needing inbound access, and remote CCTV always does, should use a fixed IP SIM card. For roaming and dynamic IP options, see our IoT SIM cards.

Which VPN protocols does it support?

IPsec and OpenVPN, both with multiple clients and a server, plus GRE, L2TP, PPTP and DMVPN. IPsec is the usual choice for a site-to-site tunnel over cellular. Our guide to VPN on cellular routers compares the protocols and covers configuration on a cellular WAN.
