Industrial Dual-SIM 5G NR Cellular PoE-PSE Router with RS-485
The Robustel R2120 5G is an industrial cellular PoE router designed for field deployments where connected cameras, controllers, sensors, access devices, and legacy equipment need reliable high-capacity backhaul from a single compact router.
Built around the same practical PoE-PSE architecture as the R2120 platform, the 5G variant adds 5G NR SA/NSA connectivity with broad global band support, while retaining five Gigabit Ethernet ports, four 802.3af/at PoE-PSE ports, dual SIM, Wi-Fi, RS-485, digital I/O, and remote management through RCMS.
For systems integrators and operators, this makes the R2120 5G especially useful in distributed sites where several IP devices must be powered, connected, monitored, and remotely maintained without adding separate PoE switches, cellular gateways, or site visits for basic recovery tasks.
The R2120 is a specialized industrial cellular PoE router designed for smart security applications. Equipped with 5 Ethernet ports, including 4 PoE-PSE ports, along with 2 Digital Inputs, 2 Digital Outputs, and an RS485 serial port, this router excels in meeting the unique demands of modern security systems.
Enhanced PoE-PSE Functionality: The R2120 features 4 PoE-PSE ports compliant with the 802.3af and 802.3at standards, enabling effortless power and data transmission through a single Ethernet cable to simplify field installation.
Remote PoE Device Management: The R2120 goes beyond standard PoE-PSE functions with its support for remote management capabilities. Users can conveniently schedule restarts or power cycles for PoE devices as required, enhancing operational control and efficiency.
The Robustel Cloud Manager Service (RCMS) is a unified cloud-based platform designed for real-time monitoring and centralized management of industrial IoT devices. Fully compatible with Robustel routers and gateways, RCMS delivers an interactive geospatial dashboard that enables users to visualize device locations and track critical metrics such as data usage, signal strength, and network status. To ensure seamless operations, the platform facilitates over-the-air (OTA) updates for firmware, configurations, and applications, minimizing downtime while optimizing system performance.
