Industrial LTE Router Robustel R1520 with E-mark certification, Wi-Fi, five Ethernet ports, PoE-PD, Dual SIM, GNSS
The Robustel R1520 is an affordable industrial LTE router designed for IoT projects requiring maximum reliability and connection flexibility. Within its compact yet rugged housing, it combines superior connectivity, support for global LTE bands, and advanced security. Thanks to an extensive set of certifications (including FCC/PTCRB, CE, RCM, ICASA, TDRA, and others), this model is an ideal choice for projects with global deployment.
The integrated GNSS (GPS/GLONASS) system enables precise real-time fleet tracking.
Professional Solution for Fleets – E-mark Certification
The R1520 (V) Vehicle variant features E-mark certification, which is essential for safe integration into motor vehicle power systems. This is a mandatory safety certification for systems and components intended for permanent installation in cars, trucks, and buses, in compliance with international standards.
R1520 Application Examples
- In-Vehicle Connectivity: Provides secure LTE backhaul and onboard Wi-Fi for passengers. The system allows for strict separation of service technology traffic from the public network (network segmentation). The integrated GNSS module supports real-time location tracking, while the RCMS platform ensures central monitoring and bulk updates for the entire fleet.
- Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS): Ensures secure data transfer from control units and information displays to your platform via encrypted VPN tunnels. Hardware redundancy in the form of Dual SIM guarantees maximum service availability even during carrier outages. All parameters and configurations can be managed remotely, eliminating the need for physical on-site visits.
- Digital Signage and Advertising Panels: Provides a reliable IP interface for media players connecting to your CMS. The router ensures seamless distribution of new content even during primary network outages and enables centralized monitoring or efficient remote troubleshooting.
Integrated Interfaces
- Serial Interfaces: Support for both RS-232 and RS-485 for communication with machinery and meters.
- Inputs and Outputs: Digital DI/DO and an analog input allow for direct monitoring and control of external elements.
- PoE-PD: The device supports Power over Ethernet (PD), simplifying installation in locations without access to electrical outlets.
Maximum Port and Connectivity Flexibility
The R1520 router stands out with five Ethernet ports (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 4 or Ethernet WAN.
Security and RCMS 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.
