The Robustel EG5100 is a new generation of industrial Edge Computing gateways, with global support for 4G/3G/2G networks and a fully featured operating system based on Debian 11 (bullseye), capable of supporting thousands of existing or new ARMv7-based applications (Raspberry Pi compatible).
Robustel’s EG5100 is a new generation of industrial Edge Computing gateway, supporting global 4G/3G/2G networks for cellular backhaul, with a fully featured Debian 11(bullseye)-based operating system capable of supporting thousands of existing or new ARMv7-based applications (Raspberry Pi compatible).
The EG5100 supports Docker for easy application deployment and benefits from ‘RobustOS Pro’ — Robustel’s latest router OS, featuring enhanced cybersecurity, an advanced GUI and a wide range of software features, including VPNs, Smart Roaming, SMS remote control and more. With a 792 MHz Cortex A7 CPU, the EG5100 takes computing power to the next level and can be used as a combination of cellular router + embedded PC for IoT applications.
RCMS is Robustel’s free router monitoring service and is fully compatible with the EG5100. It allows customers to view the locations of their routers quickly and easily on a map. Information such as data usage, signal strength, current network and much more can be viewed for each router. Over-the-air updates are supported for firmware, router configuration and apps, providing essential “insurance” if anything was not configured correctly during deployment.
