Industrial LTE Router Robustel R1520 Global with Wi-Fi, Five Ethernet Ports and Dual SIM
Robustel R1520 is a powerful industrial LTE router designed for IoT applications that require maximum reliability and flexibility of connectivity. In a compact but durable design, it combines superior connectivity, support for global LTE bands and advanced security. With a wide range of certifications (including FCC/PTCRB, CE, RCM, ICASA, TDRA and more), this model is an ideal choice for projects with global deployment.
Featuring five Ethernet ports, a robust design, and a wide 9-36V DC input power range, the R1520 router is easy to integrate into distribution cabinets, kiosks, and remote industrial sites.
Integrated Interfaces for Industrial Integration
- Serial Interfaces: Support for both RS-232 and RS-485 for communication with machinery and meters.
- Inputs and Outputs: Digital I/O (DI/DO) and an analog input enable direct monitoring and control of external elements.
R1520 Application Examples
- Real-time air monitoring: Supports continuous remote monitoring and helps reduce dependency on frequent manual inspections and site visits.
- Retail IoT applications: Provides highly secure and fully redundant connectivity for ATMs that require 100% availability. Dual SIM failover ensures continuous operation even if one of the operators is down. The rugged industrial design guarantees reliability even in outdoor ATMs, while the RCMS platform enables secure remote supervision and management of the entire system.
Maximum Port and Connectivity Flexibility
The R1520 stands out with five Ethernet ports (configurable as 1× WAN + 4× LAN or 5× LAN), allowing multiple devices to be connected directly to the router without an external switch. To ensure continuous operation, the router features a dual SIM slot, failover functionality, and backup options via Wi-Fi or Ethernet WAN.
Security and Remote Management
Data security is ensured by a wide range of encrypted VPN tunnels (IPsec, OpenVPN, GRE, WireGuard, or DMVPN). For efficient operation of large-scale networks, the router is fully integrated into the Robustel Cloud Manager Service platform (RCMS), which is used for bulk configuration, monitoring, and firmware updates for the entire fleet of devices. The unique RobustVPN service also allows for a fixed IP address on any SIM card.
RobustOS Operating System
The router utilizes the Linux-based RobustOS operating system, designed for maximum reliability in IoT applications.
