Global Industrial 4G VPN Router

Model: R1520 Global

 

Product Overview

The ideal solution for widespread global M2M/IoT deployments, providing versatile, reliable connectivity backed by comprehensive certifications for immediate international use.

● Global Connectivity & Certification:

Features a global LTE Cat 4 module with dual-SIM failover. It is fully certified with extensive global (CE, UKCA, RCM, FCC, IC, PTCRB, Anatel, IMDA, NBTC, POSTEL, ICASA, KCC, TRA, etc.) and major carrier (AT&T, Verizon) approvals.

● Rich Industrial Interfaces:

Equipped with 5 Ethernet ports, serial (RS232/RS485), Digital and Analog I/O for connecting to diverse field assets.

● Enterprise-Grade Security:

Runs on the hardened, penetration-tested Linux based RobustOS. Secures data with a powerful firewall and a full suite of VPNs (IPsec, OpenVPN, DMVPN, GRE, Wireguard, etc.).

● Simplified Cloud Management:

Integrates fully with the RCMS cloud platform for fleet-wide monitoring, OTA updates of both the OS and applications running in containers, and secure remote access to end devices like PLCs, dramatically reducing operational costs.
