Industrial 5G Router Robustel R5020-A Lite
The Robustel R5020-A Lite is a compact industrial router that makes high-speed 5G connectivity accessible. It is designed for applications requiring fast data transfer and low latency, such as in the IoT sector. With full support for 5G networks and backward compatibility with 4G LTE and 3G standards, it provides a stable and flexible foundation for modern digital infrastructure.
Robustel R5020 Lite Use Cases
- In-Vehicle Connectivity: The router provides a secure 5G backbone for emergency services and corporate fleets. The R5020-Lite enables reliable connection of onboard computers and camera systems. Furthermore, the RCMS platform offers centralised management of updates, diagnostics, and overall device operation.
- 5G Backup for SD-WAN: By supplementing an SD-WAN solution with affordable 5G connectivity, you gain a reliable backup for critical systems. External device installation helps maximise signal quality and ensures a more stable connection even in demanding conditions. Centralised monitoring and remote updates effectively reduce operational risks and the costs of service callouts.
- High-Speed Industrial IoT: Deploying a 5G backbone enables the fast connection of robotics, video surveillance, telemetry, and other data-intensive applications in manufacturing plants. Compared to building optical fibre infrastructure, this solution offers significantly faster implementation while simplifying the mass management of security and updates.
Connectivity and Hardware
The Robustel R5020 Lite features a port RS-232/485, two Gigabit Ethernet ports for fast wired connections, integrated Wi‑Fi supporting 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac standards, and two SIM card slots ensuring connection redundancy (failover). The robust metal housing allows for reliable operation in a temperature range from –25 °C to +70 °C.
