Robustel Gateway EG5120 with support for '>5G networks (EG5120-A2CAZ-5G-A25GL)
Robustel EG5120 Gateway is a high-performance 5G industrial gateway featuring Edge Computing capabilities. Data is processed directly on the device, eliminating the unnecessary transfer of huge volumes of information to the cloud. The gateway evaluates the data locally first and forwards only what is relevant. The EG5120 industrial gateway combines the capabilities of a powerful Edge IoT Gateway with a reliable 4G/5G cellular router.
Areas of Use for the EG5120 Gateway
- Warehouse Safety and Efficiency: During handling operations, the system verifies available space and immediately detects overhangs or other risks. Video processing and model evaluation take place directly on the device, with only alerts about specific events sent to internal systems. Sending metadata instead of live video streams significantly reduces data usage and bandwidth requirements.
- Predictive Maintenance: The device continuously collects operational data on vibration and energy consumption via the RS-485/Modbus interface. Integrated data models detect anomalies at their source and publish measured events directly to maintenance platforms using MQTT or REST protocols. Secure information transfer is ensured by an encrypted '>VPN connection.
- Intelligent Traffic Management: The solution combines control units, sensors, and intersection cameras into one integrated system. Vehicle counting and classification take place in real time, while only aggregated summaries are sent to the ITS platform. Two SIM card slots provide redundant, uninterrupted connectivity, and centralised management features simplify supervision of the entire intersection network.
High Performance and 5G Support for Industry
Robustel EG5120 can be used to build modern global 5G/4G/3G/2G cellular networks. Its high computing performance is provided by a 1.5 GHz Cortex-A53 processor, 2 GB RAM, and 16 GB eMMC flash memory. The device combines the functions of a cellular router and an embedded PC for versatile industrial use. It connects automation systems, sensors, and control panels, enabling them to work together efficiently and share data.
Debian Operating System, Docker and '>VPN Security
The industrial gateway features a full Debian operating system that supports thousands of existing and new applications based on the ARMv8 architecture (compatible with Raspberry Pi). It is also equipped with Docker software for isolating applications in containers. '>VPN support for secure internet connectivity and encrypted data transfer between the device and the target network is included as standard.
