Robustel R2111 Industrial Ethernet Router

  • ETHERNET
  • DUAL LAN

The Robustel R2111 is an industrial Ethernet router that brings dependable, secure wired networking to fixed sites. Where a reliable wired or fibre connection is already in place, the R2111 provides the routing, segmentation and remote management that industrial and retail networks need, without a cellular module. RobustOS underpins the platform with secure networking and a full SDK.

Five 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports can be configured as five LAN, or as one WAN plus four LAN, making the unit a flexible aggregation and routing point for cabinets, branches and machine cells. A dual core processor and generous memory keep multi device sites responsive, while secure VPNs protect traffic between locations. Remote configuration, monitoring and firmware management are handled centrally through Robustel Cloud Manager Service.

Built into a compact rugged housing with IP30 protection and a wide minus 20 to 55 degrees celsius operating range, the R2111 suits unattended industrial and commercial installations. Typical applications include retail branch networking, industrial remote maintenance and IP camera or security backhaul across retail, manufacturing, surveillance and telecommunications estates. For sites with existing wired uplinks, it offers a clean, manageable and rugged routing solution.

    Robustel hardware on rugged.co.uk recurs across energy and utilities, industrial manufacturing, logistics and supply chain, rail and transport, marine and offshore, oil and gas, natural resources and mining, construction, agriculture and defence. Typical applications include SCADA and control-room access, process control and shop-floor monitoring, fleet management and telematics, environmental and utilities monitoring, secure communications and in-vehicle connectivity. The range supports this breadth through models tuned to different needs: E-Mark-certified routers such as the R5020 for vehicles, IP67 units like the R1520G-OG for outdoor sites, LoRaWAN gateways for wide-area sensing, and embedded routers for OEM builds. As certifications and ingress ratings are model-specific, match each device to its environment and confirm the rating on the product page.

    Yes. Robustel’s 5G offering centres on the R5020 5G IoT Router and the R5020 Lite. The R5020 supports global 5G NR in both NSA and SA modes across bands including n1, n3, n7, n28, n77 and n78, with 4G LTE and 3G fallback, dual-band Wi-Fi up to 867 Mbps, four Gigabit Ethernet ports and GNSS positioning. It is built in an aluminium IP30 case with MIL-STD-810 compliance and operates from -25 C to 70 C, with E-Mark certification and ignition sensing suiting in-vehicle as well as fixed industrial use. VPN support includes IPsec, OpenVPN and GRE. Alongside 5G, much of the Robustel range remains 4G LTE focused for cost-sensitive IoT. Confirm band support and exact features on the specific product page.

    RobustOS is Robustel’s embedded operating system, running across its router and gateway range and providing routing, firewall, VPN and serial-to-IP functions along with an SDK in C and C++ for custom application development. Devices typically expose an app framework, letting users add functions such as RCMS connectivity, captive portal, Modbus master and dynamic routing. Management is handled through web UI, CLI and SMS locally, and through Robustel’s cloud management system for fleets. This combination suits unattended and remote IoT deployments where devices must be configured, monitored and updated without site visits. Serial handling includes transparent mode, TCP client and server, UDP and Modbus RTU-to-TCP conversion. As the available apps and SDK resources vary by model, confirm the management and development options on the relevant product page.

    Yes. Alongside its cellular routers, Robustel offers dedicated IoT gateways, including the R3000LG and R3000LG-OG LoRaWAN gateways and the modular MEG5000 edge gateway. The R3000LG combines LoRaWAN with 2G, 3G and 4G cellular backhaul and dual Ethernet, supporting eight LoRa channels, LoRaWAN versions 1.0 and 1.0.2, and a stated long-range communication capability, all in a metal IP67-rated enclosure rated from -40 C to 75 C. This makes it suited to wide-area sensor networks across agriculture, utilities, manufacturing and mining. The R2000 family and R1500 also serve as dual-SIM VPN IoT gateways for cellular-only deployments. Because radio bands, channel counts and ingress ratings differ between gateway models, confirm the LoRa frequency plan and environmental rating on the specific product page.

    Yes. Robustel addresses OEM and embedded integration through its R1511P Embedded LTE Router and the R1511P-DevKit development kit. The R1511P ships without an external enclosure as a modular board designed to drop into existing devices and machinery, offering 4G LTE connectivity, dual Ethernet, Wi-Fi managed by RobustOS, and serial interfaces. It operates across a wide -40 C to 85 C storage range with 9 to 36 V DC input and meets IEC 61000-series EMC standards for ESD, RF interference and surge resistance, supporting stable performance inside industrial hardware. LTE band support is model-dependent and not all bands are available on a single variant, so global coverage needs should be confirmed directly. For evaluation, the DevKit provides a ready platform. Check the product page for band and interface details.

    Robustel is a manufacturer of industrial cellular routers, IoT gateways and modems, with a 26-product range on rugged.co.uk built around its R-series. The line spans compact routers such as the R1500 and R1510, dual-Ethernet and dual-SIM VPN routers in the R1520 and R2000 families, industrial LTE routers like the R3000, and 5G models including the R5020 and R5020 Lite. It also covers embedded routers such as the R1511P for integration into other equipment, LoRaWAN gateways in the R3000LG line, and modular edge gateways like the MEG5000. Many devices run the RobustOS operating system and are managed through Robustel’s RCMS platform. Bands, interfaces and ingress ratings vary by model, so confirm the specification on the individual product page.

    Several Robustel devices are engineered for rugged and outdoor deployment, with ratings that vary by model. The R5020 5G router uses an aluminium IP30 enclosure with MIL-STD-810 shock and vibration compliance, operating from -25 C to 70 C. For fully sealed outdoor use, the R1520G-OG carries an IP67-rated enclosure with MIL-STD-810G durability, PoE and dual SIM. The R3000LG LoRaWAN gateway also offers IP67 sealing in a metal case rated from -40 C to 75 C with IEC 61000-4 EMC compliance. Common features include wide-input DC power, metal housings and resistance to electrical disturbance. Because ingress protection ranges from IP30 to IP67 and temperature ratings differ across the range, always confirm the exact specification on the relevant product page before specifying for outdoor or harsh conditions.
