The R5020 Lite is Robustel’s latest 5G-capable router supporting 5G, 4G, and 3G networks. It leverages our proven high-performance CPU platform along with RobustOS, an in-house developed operating system that has successfully passed extensive third-party penetration testing.
The R5020 Lite is compatible with 3GPP Release 16 and is designed for the following applications:
Broadband Failover: The R5020 Lite can be configured to use Ethernet or Wi-Fi as the primary internet connection, with automatic failover to 5G/4G in the event of an outage. This feature provides resilience for retail shops and small offices at a reasonable cost, ensuring sufficient bandwidth for multiple users. It supports various protocols, including IPsec, DMVPN, GRE, and more, for secure connections to core networks.
Primary Broadband: Cellular network operators now offer unlimited 5G plans at competitive prices. For many businesses, the opportunity to eliminate wired connections and utilize a wireless internet solution can be both technically and commercially advantageous.
SD-WAN: While many appliances include built-in cellular options, the R5020 Lite provides a cost-effective solution to add a 5G backup route. Its ability to be located externally increases the likelihood of receiving a strong 5G signal.
