The R1520 router from Robustel is a versatile 4G router with 5 Ethernet ports, GPS and E-mark certification for in-vehicle use. It is also ideal for Smart Cities and Retail applications.
The R1520 router from Robustel is a versatile 4G router equipped with five Ethernet ports and a range of advanced functions tailored for IoT applications. There are two core models in the R1520 family:
R1520 (S): The STANDARD version without GNSS, suitable for most light industrial and enterprise applications.
R1520 (V): The VEHICLE version, featuring E-mark certification and GNSS. This model is optimized for vehicle use but can also be utilized in various other applications.
The Linux-based operating system, RobustOS, has been developed entirely in-house, ensuring a high standard of technical support and infrequent firmware updates due to the modular nature of the OS. RobustOS includes many unique software innovations, such as:
RobustVPN: A highly flexible hosted VPN service that allows customers to easily enjoy a fixed IP router.
Sniffer: A built-in tool that enables users to run a Wireshark trace directly on the router, providing invaluable diagnostic information.
