R1520
Industrial Dual SIM Cellular VPN Router
Suitable for 2G, 3G, 4G networks

INTRODUCTION KEY FEATURES

The R1520 router from Robustel is a versatile 4G router with 5 x Ethernet ports and
 Cost-effective & high performance
a range of advanced functions for IoT Applications. There are 2 core models in the
3G/4G router
R1520 family as follows:
R1520 (S) – This is the STANDARD version without GPS suitable for most light  Rugged design with 9 to 36 VDC power
industrial and Enterprise applications
R1520 (V) – This is the VEHICLE version with E-mark and GPS. It is optimized for  “Global” 4G version available
vehicle use but can be used for any application
 E-mark certification for in vehicle use
The Linux based Operating System, RobustOS, has been developed entirely in-house
 Optically isolated digital IO
which leads to a very high standard of technical support and infrequent firmware
updates due to modular nature of the OS. Many unique software innovations are  10-bit Analog interface for direct
built on top of RobustOS, these include: sensor connections
RobustVPN – highly flexible hosted VPN service so customers can easily enjoy a
“fixed IP router”  Supports Dual SIMs & Wi-Fi/Ethernet
Data-Guard – invaluable failsafe in case of a system failure and runaway data usage as WAN
Smart Reboot – SMS tool to push roaming SIMs from a non-working to working state
 Cellular keep-alive and fast failover
Sniffer – run a Wireshark trace directly on the router for invaluable diagnostic
information.  Extensive range of software “apps” for
enhanced functionality
RCMS is Robustel’s free router monitoring service that is fully compatible with the
R1520. It allows customer to see a location overview of their routers quickly and  RobustVPN – hosted service providing
simply on a map. Features such as data usage, signal strength, current network and a “fixed IP” router
much more can then be viewed on a per router basis. Over-the-air updates are
supported for Firmware, router configuration and Apps serving as essential  IPsec/OpenVPN/GRE/L2TP/PPTP/DMV
‘insurance’ if anything was not quite right during deployment. PN supported
