Robustel R5020 5G Industrial Cellular Router

R5020

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 from Robustel brings next-generation cellular connectivity at a highly competitive price.

Offering global 3G, 4G/LTE & 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 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

(The optional mains power supply for this router is part number FER5020-5G-PSU)

Bus, Train & Taxi Passenger WiFi

Robustel's ability to deliver 802.11ac WiFi and LTE CAT6 communications in an industrial package provides the perfect platform from which to build fast and very cost-effective Passenger WiFi systems.

Benefits at a glance:

• DATA-Guard – DATA-Guard data limiting APP provides a flexible and innovative failsafe against the dangers of "bill-shock" from unexpected 4G data overruns.


• Cost Effective – Low cost CAT4 and mid-range CAT6 LTE options available.


• High Performance – High performance routing means the router is never the bottleneck - LTE speeds are the only limitation.


• Firewall & Captive Portal – Extensive configuration options for firewall and captive portal provide flexibility for a multitude of deployment scenarios.
