Robustel R5020
Industrial Dual-SIM 5G Router with 4x LAN, Serial, GNSS & PoE
The Robustel R5020 is an industrial 5G router designed for dependable site and in-vehicle connectivity across global 5G/4G/3G bands. Built on RobustOS, it supports familiar networking features with centralized fleet operations via RCMS for monitoring, configuration, and updates.
Compliant with 3GPP Release 15, the R5020 suits three common roles: in-vehicle backhaul (passenger Wi-Fi, onboard systems), broadband failover, or primary wireless broadband where fixed lines are impractical.
Vehicle deployments are supported with E-mark certification, GNSS positioning, and an ignition-sense option to protect batteries when engines are off.
For branch and enterprise use, the router can use Ethernet or Wi-Fi as primary access with automatic failover to 5G/4G. Security options include IPsec, OpenVPN and DMVPN to connect sites to core networks.
The result is reliable, scalable 5G connectivity with straightforward, centralized management, the R5020 delivers high-throughput 5G with centralized fleet management to reduce rollout time and downtime across vehicles and branches.
