Robustel R1520(S) Industrial 4G Router (LTE CAT4)

Despite being cost-effective, the R1520 4G Router is a powerful router with high packet-forwarding. With high performance beyond the typical requirements of LTE CAT4 networks, other hardware features of R1520 include optically isolated digital inputs and outputs as well as a 10-bit analogue input capable of interfacing directly with sensors.

For customers managing legacy devices the R1520 comes equipped with a 2-wire RS485 interface for connection to legacy instruments with full support for Modbus. The RS232 port features RTS/CTS lines so the R1520 can accommodate applications that require hardware handshaking.

With mass IoT adoption growing rapidly and legacy devices being threatened by global 3G sunsets Robustel saw a gap in the market for a full-featured but cost-effective router. Since first unveiling the R1520 we have seen high demand from our global network of system integrators, IoT application developers and mobile network operators looking to provide a competitively priced gateway in an industrialised housing.

As with all Robustel products the R1520 gateway is based on RobustOS, a proprietary Linux-based programable operating system that was developed to empower customisation and improve performance of Robustel devices at a software level.

Either through an extensive library of pre-built apps or by using Robustel’s RobustOS Software Development Kit (SDK) customers can see the full potential of the R1520 come to life by integrating I/O with HTTPS/MQTT/Modbus/SNMP and so much more.

All R1520 devices come with RCMS as standard, Robustel’s cloud based device management software allowing users to deploy, configure and maintain their fleet of Robustel devices from anywhere in the world.
