The Robustel EG5100 is an industrial-grade edge computing gateway combining global 4G/3G/2G cellular backhaul and ARMv7-based edge processing. Its Debian 11 (bullseye) based operating system supports Raspberry Pi-compatible applications, while Docker enables rapid containerized deployment in harsh environments. The device merges cellular routing and embedded computing for real-time edge analytics.

 

Powered by a 792 MHz Cortex-A7 CPU, the EG5100 runs RobustOS Pro – Robustel’s self-developed OS – to deliver enterprise security (VPN/IPsec, smart roaming) and SMS-based remote management. Designed for mission-critical IoT systems, it integrates cellular connectivity, cybersecurity, and edge compute capabilities into a single ruggedized platform, minimizing deployment complexity.

 

KEY FEATURES

  • Industrial-grade 4G/3G/2G cellular connectivity with global band support
  • 8GB eMMC Flash storage and ARM compute engine for edge applications
  • Docker containerization and 50,000+ Debiancompatible packages
  • Optional 802.11ac Wi-Fi with dual-mode AP/Client operation
  • Optional Bluetooth 5.2 compliant
  • 2 x software-configurable RS-232/485 ports (or 1 x RS-232/485 + 1 x CAN)
  • 2 x DI/DO interfaces for industrial I/O monitoring
  • Dual-SIM redundancy and wide operating temperature range
  • Multi-language SDK support (C/C++/Java/Python/Node.js) with open development toolchain
  • Multi-protocol VPN (IPsec/OpenVPN/GRE/L2TP/PPTP/ DMVPN) and firewall
  • RCMS (Robustel Cloud Management System) for large-scale device control
