We live in times when ' >5G technology is changing the way we access the Internet and network solutions. Therefore, the choice of the right router is crucial for security and optimal connectivity, especially in corporate and industrial solutions. In this article, we will take a look at two top devices from our offer -the industrial cellular 5G routers Teltonika RUTX50 and Robustel R5020 Lite.
Teltonika RUTX50
The Teltonika RUTX50 is a powerful and flexible industrial 5G router, which is interesting due to a lot of available functions, including LAN ports with the possibility of configuration to WAN, Dual SIM to ensure continuous operation even in case of signal deterioration or outage of one of the selected Internet mobile operators. The resistant metal construction meets the demanding conditions in use. This router is optimal for applications where high speed and connection stability are required. The 5G RUTX50 router is equipped with the RutOS system. It is an operating system based on Linux OpenWRT, which is a big advantage for the choice of Teltonika routers. Other advantages of this system include high security, wide compatibility with different networks and advanced remote management capabilities using RMS (Remote Management System).
Robustel R5020 Lite
The second introduced 5G router is not as commonly used in our region as the Teltonika brand. Nevertheless, Robustel belongs to an established brand in the market of wireless devices for mobile connectivity, and therefore we will take a closer look at it. The industrial 5G router Robustel R5020 Lite has comparable hardware features. However, a significant difference can be found in the application layer of this product. A user-friendly web interface coupled with a fast response is a major advantage that will be appreciated by network administrators, end customers and service providers.
Regarding cloud services, Robustel with its RCMS (Robustel Cloud Manager Service) also provides the possibility of remote connection to individual devices or a group of devices. A secure VPN connection over an unsecured network such as the Internet is a matter of course. For devices with a GPS connection, it is even possible to monitor the current location, which can be appreciated, e.g. by logistics or transport companies, who are thus able to monitor the location of their vehicles in real time. In order to prevent misuse of a free connection to the WiFi network, such as in the case of long-distance bus or train transport, a captive portal can be set on the device, which connects and disconnects the user, e.g. after exceeding a fixed time period or a set data limit. Of course, in the Robustel cloud service we can find more than just the mentioned parameters. It for sure comes in handy the option of having the statement from the log, notifications, added security (authentication and authorization) and, last but not least, the QoS or analysis of network traffic on the given interface.
Comparison of Robustel RCMS license variants
Let's imagine a situation where a system with a guarantee of a big volume of data transfer experiences outages or an increase in the error rate. The Robustel device will allow the technician to intervene quickly thanks to the possibility of remote management (RCMS) and a rapid response of the device to changing the settings.

Comparison and final evaluation
Both routers are among the top ones in their class. However, it should be noted that, compared to the RUTX50, the Robustel R5020 Lite wins by a few points. It deserves the first place thanks to its speed while booting, due to applying changes and, last but not least, thanks to its intuitive web interface. The Robustel R5020 Lite offers not only advanced features, but also high reliability and ease of use, making it an excellent choice for a variety of applications, whether in an industrial or commercial environment.
