Robustel R5020 High Speed Smart 5G Router

Introduction

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 targeted at the following applications:

In-vehicle Applications

Whether it is passenger Wi-Fi, CCTV debrief, ticketing or a similar "onboard" requirement, the R5020 offers a simple and effective way to increase internet speeds and future-proof current installations well into the future. 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

R5020 can be configured to use Ethernet or Wi-Fi 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 OpenVPN 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 favorable.

RCMS Cloud Management

RCMS is Robustel's free router monitoring service that is fully compatible with the R5020. It allows customers to see a location overview of their routers quickly and simply on a map. Features such as data usage, signal strength, current network and much more can then be viewed on a per router basis. Over-the-air updates are supported for Firmware, router configuration and Apps serving as essential 'insurance' if anything was not quite right during deployment.

Application Example

The diagram illustrates various applications for the R5020 router, connecting different systems to a central network and data center. Applications include Industrial IoT, Industrial Automation, Autonomous Robots, Smart Cities, CCTV, Remote-controlled Vehicles, Enterprise IT, Fixed Line Backup, and Smart Office. Connectivity is shown via RS232/RS485, Wi-Fi, and Ethernet, linking to a base station and then to a data center. The diagram also indicates wireline and wireless connections.
