R1520 Dual-SIM Cellular VPN Router

The R1520 router from Robustel is a versatile 4G router with 5 x Ethernet ports, GPS and E-mark certification for in-vehicle use. It is also ideal for Smart Cities and Retail applications.

Other hardware features include optically isolated digital inputs and outputs as well as a 10-bit analogue input capable of interfacing directly with sensors in the range of 0 to 24Vdc or 0 to 20mA.

Despite being cost-effective, the R1520 is a powerful router with high packet-forwarding capability – way beyond the typical requirements of LTE CAT4 networks. 


Many unique software innovations are built on top of RobustOS, these include:

 

  • RobustVPN – highly flexible hosted VPN service so customers can easily enjoy a “fixed IP router”
  • Data-Guard – invaluable failsafe in case of a system failure and runaway data usage
  • Smart Reboot – SMS tool to push roaming SIMs from a non-working to working state
  • Sniffer – run a Wireshark trace directly on the router for invaluable diagnostic information.
