The R5020 is Robustel’s first 5G-capable router supporting global 5G, 4G and 3G bands in a compact industrial form factor. It enables rapid deployment of high-speed IoT applications in verticals as diverse as Transportation, Enterprise Connectivity and Digital Signage.

The R5020 leverages the tried-and-tested high performance CPU platform and RobustOS – a mature and stable Operating System developed in-house by Robustel. R5020 is compatible with 3GPP Release 15 and is designed for use by the following applications:

 

In-vehicle applications: Whether it is passenger WiFi, CCTV debrief, ticketing or a similar “onboard” requirement, the R5020 offers a simple and effective solution to increase internet speeds and future-proof current installations. The R5020 has achieved E-Mark certification for in-vehicle use, and supports GNSS positioning. A version with vehicle ignition sensing is available to protect vehicle batteries when the engine is off.

Broadband Failover: The R5020 can be configured to use Ethernet or Wifi as primary internet and failover to 4G/5G in the event of an outage.  This can help to provide resilience to outlets such as shops and small offices at a reasonable cost, and provide sufficient bandwidth for multiple users.  IPsec, DMVPN and Open VPN protocols can be used for connections into core networks.

 

Primary Broadband: Cellular networks can now provide unlimited 5G tariffs at very reasonable prices, offering hundreds of Mbps internet over the air. For many, a chance to cut the cables and use a wireless internet connection can be technically or commercially favourable.

 

Key Features:

  • Global 5G/4G/3G cellular connections
  • Supports Ethernet, Wifi and 4G/5G internet with auto-failover
  • Very cost-effective industrial 5G router solution
  • Fully programmable Operating System with well documented SDK
  • Multiple VPN options available including DMVPN & IPSEC
  • GNSS, ignition sense & E-mark make R5020 ideal for vehicles
  • Free cloud management platform – RCMS
  • Robust metal enclosure with small footprint – DIN-rail + wall mount options
