The Robustel R5020 is the first industrial router with global 5G connectivity , also supporting 4G and 3G , based on an 880 MHz dual-core MIPS CPU platform with the RobustOS (Linux) operating system, fully compatible with the documented SDK , enabling efficient and secure edge computing

Designed for industrial environments and embedded applications, the R5020 offers 4 Gigabit Ethernet ports (configurable as 1 WAN + 3 LAN or 4 LAN), with optional PoE-PD support on ETH0 and 1 kV magnetic isolation.

Main Features:

 

Includes dual-band Wi-Fi (802.11a/b/g/n/ac) in AP or Client mode, with up to 867 Mbps on the 5 GHz channel and 300 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz channel, plus GPS/GNSS (GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo) via cellular antenna multiplexing.

It supports automatic failover between Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and cellular network connections with dual-SIM and four SMA-K cellular antennas , ensuring continuous availability in critical applications. For industrial protocols, it has one configurable RS-232 and one RS-485 port , as well as one optically isolated DI and one DO , with support for Modbus RTU/TCP via MQTT bridge and TCP/UDP serial control.

In terms of security and connectivity, the R5020 offers IPsec, OpenVPN, DMVPN, GRE, L2TP, and PPTP VPNs , a firewall with DMZ, IP/MAC/domain filtering, anti-DoS protection, port mapping, and AES/TKIP/WEP64 encryption.

Remote management is performed by Bridgemanager , with customizable dashboards, intelligent alerts, connectivity monitoring, and centralized device control. In addition, the R5020 is compatible with Bridgemeter , Above-Net's solution for real-time operational data analysis and normalization , ideal for applications in intelligent transportation, digital retail, building automation, connected cities, and operational efficiency.

Built for harsh environments, it features an IP30 metal housing, a temperature range of -25°C to +70°C , a 12 to 36 V DC with reverse polarity and surge protection, a typical idle power consumption of ~3 W (12 V) and a maximum of ~11 W , a weight of ≈ 475 g, and compact dimensions for wall, table, or DIN rail mounting.

Ideal for critical applications in decentralized IoT, smart mobility, digital retail, and internet failover , the R5020 combines high availability, industrial safety, and complete integration with intelligent management and analytics platforms.
