EG5101 Industrial Edge Computing Gateway

Home / Products / EG5101 Industrial Edge Computing Gateway

Highlight Features

Robustel’s EG5101 is a new industrial edge computing gateway, supporting 4G Cat 1 network for cellular backhaul, with a fully-fledged Debian 11(bullseye) based operating system able to support thousands of existing or new ARMv7 (Raspberry Pi compatible) based applications.

EG5101 supports Docker for easy deployment of applications and benefits from ‘RobustOS Pro’ – Robustel’s latest router OS with enhanced cybersecurity, advanced GUI and a myriad of software features including VPNs, Smart Roaming, SMS remote control and more.

With a 792 MHz i.MX 6ULL CPU, EG5101 can be used as a combination of cellular router + embedded PC for IoT applications.

RCMS is Robustel’s free router monitoring service that is fully compatible with the EG5101. It allows customers to see a location overview of their routers quickly and simply on a map.

Features such as data usage, signal strength, current network and 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 “insurance” if anything was not quite right during deployment.
