Industrial 5G VPN Router

Model: R5020 Lite

 

Product Overview

A future-proof solution for mission-critical industrial IoT, delivering secure, high-speed 5G connectivity with simplified cloud management.

● High-Speed, Unbreakable Connectivity:

Combines 5G (R16), Wi-Fi, and Ethernet with dual-SIM automatic failover for seamless, continuous uptime.

● 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.
