Milesight

Milesight Hardware From a UK Distributor

Milesight is a global manufacturer of industrial cellular routers, LoRaWAN gateways, IoT sensors, and AI cameras, with its router range used across industrial automation, energy and utilities, transport, retail, and smart city deployments worldwide. Milesight routers are engineered for the operational environments where consumer broadband hardware fails: outdoor cabinets, plant rooms, unmanned sites, and industrial control settings where uptime is non-negotiable.

Millbeck is an authorised UK distributor for Milesight, holding UK stock and providing the pre-sales, configuration, and post-deployment support that turns Milesight hardware into working industrial connectivity.

Millbeck supplies the full Milesight UR and UF industrial router range. We hold UK stock, provide pre-sales technical guidance, configure devices with customer-specific settings, support DeviceHub and MilesightVPN onboarding, and integrate Milesight hardware with Millbeck's IoT SIM and antenna products as a complete connectivity stack.

What Buying Through an Authorised UK Distributor Means

Sourcing Milesight hardware through an authorised UK distributor gives buyers three practical advantages over sourcing from an unauthorised reseller or overseas marketplace. First, UK stock and a UK-based supply chain, reducing lead times and import friction. Second, pre-sales technical guidance and device configuration support, rather than a hardware-only transaction. Third, full manufacturer warranty cover, since devices are procured through Milesight's official channel rather than grey-market stock.

The Full Milesight Router Range

Milesight's router portfolio spans compact 4G devices through to 5G industrial routers. Millbeck stocks and supports the full range.

UR41 / UR41L (Mini Series). The smallest and lowest-power router in the range, single SIM slot, single Ethernet port, with GNSS on the standard model. Suited to space-constrained, low-power deployments such as solar-powered monitoring and street lighting.

UR32L / UR32S (Lite Series). A budget-focused, pocket-sized 4G router with two Ethernet ports; the UR32S adds 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi. No serial ports or digital I/O. Suited to simple LTE failover and space-limited panel installations.

UR32 (Pro Series). The primary mid-range 4G router. Dual SIM for failover, two Ethernet ports, optional Wi-Fi, serial interfaces (RS232/RS485), digital I/O, and optional GNSS. Supports an embedded Python SDK for custom application scripting.

UR35 (Pro Series). The highest-specification 4G router in the range. Five Ethernet ports, dedicated RS232 and RS485, dual SIM, digital I/O, and optional Wi-Fi and GNSS. Suited to complex multi-subnet industrial networks and building automation backbones.

UR75 (5G Router). Dual SIM, five Gigabit Ethernet ports, Wi-Fi 6, RS232, RS485, digital I/O, GNSS, USB 3.0, and PoE PSE output. Adds Node-RED support for local data processing and protocol conversion without a separate edge server.

UF51 (5G CPE). IP67-rated for permanent outdoor installation, with PoE PD input so a single Ethernet cable carries both power and data. Built-in omnidirectional antennas, Wi-Fi 6, and highly accurate GNSS positioning.

UF31 (5G Dongle). A compact 5G modem for embedded scenarios requiring ultra-fast connectivity without a full router form factor.

Remote Access and Fleet Management

Milesight routers are managed through two connected platforms.

MilesightVPN provides secure, tunnelled remote access to devices and equipment sitting behind the router (PLCs, HMIs, IP cameras, sensors), connecting via a simple authentication code without exposing devices directly to the internet.

DeviceHub is Milesight's free cloud platform for managing fleets of routers from a single dashboard, covering bulk configuration, firmware updates, and over-the-air upgrades. For operators running multi-site estates, the practical impact is fewer site visits and centralised visibility of the whole fleet from one console.

As a UK distributor, Millbeck supports DeviceHub and MilesightVPN onboarding for new customers and can advise on the estate management approach appropriate for the deployment.

Security and Reliability Features

Milesight routers ship with a full VPN protocol stack (OpenVPN, IPsec, PPTP, L2TP, DMVPN, GRE), built-in firewall management (ACL, SPI, DoS/DDoS protection), and centralised authentication support (RADIUS, TACACS+, LDAP, local authentication). Stability features include automated failover and failback between cellular, Ethernet, and Wi-Fi, an embedded watchdog for automatic recovery from failures, and SMS or email alerting.

Certifications and Compliance

Milesight manufactures to ISO 9001:2015 quality management standards, with CE, FCC, and RoHS compliance across the product range. Selected UR series models (UR32, UR32L, UR32S, UR35, UR41, UR41L) have achieved RED (Radio Equipment Directive) certification, with further models undergoing testing for RED-DA and EN 18031 cybersecurity compliance as Milesight rolls this out across the wider portfolio.

Combining Milesight Hardware With Millbeck Connectivity

Industrial connectivity rarely consists of hardware alone. A complete deployment typically requires the router, IoT SIM connectivity, antennas suited to the installation environment, and the management platform that ties the estate together.

Millbeck supplies all four elements as a coordinated stack: Milesight hardware as the connectivity device, Millbeck IoT SIMs (UK roaming, global roaming, eSIM, or eUICC) as the cellular service, antennas selected for the specific RF conditions of each installation, and the Millbeck SIM management platform alongside DeviceHub for centralised estate visibility.

Customers running mixed-vendor stacks can still buy Milesight hardware from Millbeck on its own; the integrated approach is available for those who want it.
