Robustel's 4G and 5G routers are often used by security professionals to remotely access CCTV devices such as DVRs (Digital Video Recorders), NVRs (Network Video Recorders) and IP cameras.
One of the most successful products for the security industry in 2021 was the R1520 Industrial Router. Featuring a global LTE module and with multiple Ethernet, serial and WiFi options supporting both analog and digital I/O, the R1520 can be used to provide remote access and control to industrial devices, security cameras, in-vehicle systems and PLCs, among others.
The main features of the R1520
The Robustel R1520 router is a versatile 4G router with 5 x Ethernet ports, GPS and E-mark certification for in-vehicle use.
Other hardware features include optically isolated digital inputs and outputs and a 10-bit analog input that can be directly interfaced with sensors in the 0 to 24 VDC or 0 to 20 mA range.
The R1520 also has a 2-wire RS485 interface for connection to legacy instruments with full Modbus support. The RS232 port features RTS/CTS lines, making the product suitable for applications requiring hardware handshake.
Despite being cost-effective, the R1520 is a powerful router with high packet forwarding capacity – far exceeding the typical requirements of LTE CAT4 networks. The Linux-based operating system, RobustOS, is developed entirely in-house by Robustel, resulting in a very high standard of technical support and infrequent firmware updates due to the modular nature of the operating system. Many unique software innovations are built on top of RobustOS, including:
- RobustVPN – Highly flexible hosted VPN service so customers can easily enjoy a 'fixed IP router'
- Data-Guard – invaluable failsafe in the event of system failure and runaway data usage
- Smart Reboot – SMS tool to push roaming SIM cards from non-working to working state
- Sniffer – Run a Wireshark trace directly on the router for valuable diagnostic information. Customers can also easily write their own applications using the extensive free SDK provided.
RCMS is Robustel’s free router monitoring service that is fully compatible with the R1520. It allows customers to quickly and easily see a location overview of their routers on a map. Features such as data usage, signal strength, current network and much more can then be viewed on a router-by-router basis. Over-the-air updates are supported for firmware, router configuration and apps which act as essential ‘insurance’ if something went awry during deployment.
