Robustel R5010 High Speed 5G Router

Ian Burt — Tue, 13 Aug 2024 16:46:56 +0000

The R5010 is Robustel’s new 5G capable router supporting global 5G, 4G and 3G bands. The R5010 leverages our tried and tested high-performance RobustOS 5 – an Operating System developed in-house by Robustel that has passed extensive 3rd party penetration testing.

Primary Broadband – Cellular network operators can now provide unlimited 5G tariffs at very reasonable prices. For many, a chance to cut the cables and use a wireless internet connection can be technically or commercially favourable.

SD-WAN – whilst many appliances have cellular options built-in, the R5010 can offer a very low-cost way to add a 5G backup route & by virtue of being able to be located externally to the appliance, is more likely to get a good 5G signal!
