The R5020 from Robustel brings next-generation cellular connectivity at a highly competitive price.
Offering global 3G, 4G & 5G band coverage in a compact industrial form factor, the R5020 enables rapid deployment of high-speed IoT applications in verticals as diverse as Transportation, Enterprise Connectivity and Digital Signage.
The R5020 is Robustel’s first 5G-capable router supporting global 5G, 4G, and 3G bands. It leverages a proven high-performance CPU platform and RobustOS – a mature and stable operating system developed in-house by Robustel. The R5020 is compliant with 3GPP Release 15 and is designed for the following applications:
In-vehicle Applications: Whether for passenger Wi-Fi, CCTV monitoring, ticketing, or other onboard requirements, the R5020 provides a simple and effective solution to enhance internet speeds and future-proof existing installations. It has achieved E-Mark certification for in-vehicle use and supports GNSS positioning. A version with vehicle ignition sensing is also available to protect vehicle batteries when the engine is off.
Broadband Failover: The R5020 can be configured to use Ethernet or Wi-Fi as the primary internet connection, with automatic failover to 4G/5G in the event of an outage. This provides resilience for establishments such as retail shops and small offices at a reasonable cost, ensuring sufficient bandwidth for multiple users. It supports IPsec, DMVPN, and OpenVPN protocols for secure connections to core networks.
Primary Broadband: Cellular networks now offer unlimited 5G plans at competitive prices, delivering hundreds of Mbps of internet connectivity wirelessly. For many users, the opportunity to eliminate wired connections and utilize a wireless internet solution can be both technically and commercially advantageous.
