Robustel are pleased to announce the 5G (NSA and SA) capable R5020 Lite offering support for global 5G, 4G and 3G bands with a powerful Cat-18 LTE (4G) fallback.
With its on-board smarts, compact size and ultra-competitive price point, the R5020 Lite is one of the most attractive options for customers looking to migrate from previous generation technologies to 5G.
R5020 Lite is equipped with 2 Gigabit Ethernet ports and dual-band 802.11ac Wi-Fi for low latency and reliable data transfer. Supporting 4G cellular networks, R5020 Lite is also a powerful Cat-18 LTE-A router which means that even locations without 5G coverage currently can still benefit from broadband in excess of 100Mbps using Carrier Aggregation on 4G (aka LTE-A).

Suitable Applications
The R5020 Lite is the perfect tool to get greater bandwidth from cellular networks for any application but one of its main sweet-spots is for use in Enterprise / SD-WAN applications as a ‘5G managed modem’.
Existing site routers can use the R5020 Lite as a layer 2 device to add a fast cellular WAN acting as a backup to existing fixed line broadband connections.
