R5020

R5020

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.

Affordable Next Gen IoT Connectivity

The R5020 is positioned to be the most cost-effective option for customers looking to migrate from previous generation technologies to 5G.

Industrial Interfaces with 5G Speeds

Using the R2110 platform with a 5G model allows Robustel to continue offer customers a wide variety of industry standard serial, DI/DO & Vehicle interface options.

Integrated Positioning

The module inside the R5020 includes a fully integrated positioning solution supporting GPS,GLONASS, BeiDou/Compass & Galileo

Branch Office

With both WAN & 5G internet capabilities the R5020 can be used to enhance an existing fixed line branch office router with 5G failover or replace it entirely.

The R5020 is Robustel’s first 5G-capable router supporting global 5G, 4G and 3G bands.

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
