Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Does the IDG87B support 5G Standalone (SA) and Non-Standalone (NSA) modes?
A: Yes, the IDG87B utilizes 3GPP Release 16 technology which supports both 5G SA and NSA architectures, ensuring compatibility with all major global 5G rollouts.
Q: Can I manage multiple IDG87B units remotely?
A: Absolutely. The device is fully compatible with AMIT’s A-NMS (Network Management Suite), allowing for centralized configuration, firmware updates, and real-time status monitoring of large-scale deployments.
Q: What type of VPN is best for low-latency 5G applications on this router?
A: While the router supports multiple protocols, WireGuard is highly recommended for 5G applications due to its high speed and modern encryption, which minimizes overhead and latency compared to traditional IPsec.
Q: Is the IDG87B suitable for outdoor use?
A: The IDG87B features a rugged metal housing and a wide operating temperature range, but it is an indoor-rated device. For outdoor installations, it should be placed inside a NEMA-rated or IP67-rated weatherproof enclosure.
