Main Features

 

1.6 GHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 processor , with 2 GB of DDR4 RAM , 16 GB of flash memory and a powerful 2.3 TOPS NPU artificial intelligence algorithms directly at the edge, optimizing resources, reducing latency and increasing operational efficiency.

Running Debian 11 (Bullseye) , the EG5120 supports over 50,000 software packages and is fully compatible with Docker , enabling the development and deployment of custom applications in Python, Node.js, Java, C/C++ , and other languages.

Connectivity is one of the biggest highlights: the EG5120 has a dual SIM slot for redundancy , dual-band Wi-Fi (802.11ac/b/g/n) , optional Bluetooth 5.2 , 2 Gigabit Ethernet ports (LAN/WAN) , 2 configurable serial ports (RS-232/RS-485) , as well as digital inputs and outputs (DI/DO) and optional GPS/GNSS .

VPN protocols (IPsec, OpenVPN, GRE, L2TP, PPTP, DMVPN), as well as a firewall with packet filtering, DMZ, access control, and DoS attack protection. For integration with industrial systems, it supports Modbus RTU/TCP with an MQTT bridge , allowing direct connection to PLCs, sensors, machines, and SCADA systems.

Remote management is done through Above-Net 's Bridgemanager , which offers proactive monitoring, intelligent provisioning, connectivity quality analysis, carrier management, alert generation and customizable dashboards, all centralized in a single interface.

The EG5120 is also compatible with Bridgemeter Above-Net 's solution for collecting, analyzing, and normalizing real-time industrial data, especially in water and gas treatment systems, OEE, and operational efficiency, expanding the value of the gateway as an intelligent edge agent.

Designed for demanding environments, the EG5120 features an IP30 metal housing , is resistant to extreme temperatures ( -40°C to +70°C ), and can be installed on a DIN rail, wall, or bench . Combining rugged hardware , an open operating system , local AI processing and intelligent management platforms , the Robustel EG5120 is the ideal choice for transforming industrial data into intelligent actions at the network edge .
