Future-Proof 5G Power with 2.5 Gbps Ethernet
The Teltonika TRB501 is not just a modem – it's your ticket to the high-performance internet of the future. While other devices are still stuck with 1-Gigabit ports, the TRB501 provides you with a 2.5 Gbps Ethernet connection. This ensures that the impressive data rates of 5G actually reach your application. Whether for transmitting high-resolution video streams from security installations or connecting data-intensive SCADA systems – with this gateway, you eliminate the bottleneck in your Network and are well-prepared for tomorrow's demands.
Built for Industry: Robustness Meets Performance
Industrial environments forgive no mistakes. That's why the TRB501 is packaged in a durable aluminum housing and designed for an extreme operating temperature range of -40 °C to +75 °C. This robust 5G modem for harsh environments is the ideal choice for use in control cabinets, production halls, substations, or vehicles. Support for common industrial protocols like Modbus, DNP3, and DLMS/COSEM underscores its role as a reliable intermediary between your operational technology (OT) and the IT world.
Maximum Control with RutOS and Remote Management
The true strength of the TRB501 lies in its software. RutOS, based on OpenWrt, is a powerhouse that offers you countless configuration options. Set up secure VPN tunnels with OpenVPN, IPsec, or the modern WireGuard, segment your Network with VLANs, or prioritize important data traffic with QoS. For large-scale deployment, the seamless integration into the Teltonika Remote Management System (RMS) is a crucial advantage. Manage, monitor, and configure hundreds of devices centrally via a single web interface – it doesn't get more efficient.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does the Teltonika TRB501 support eSIM?
No, the TRB501 only has a physical SIM card slot in the Mini-SIM (2FF) format. eSIM is not supported.
What is the main difference between the TRB501 and the older TRB500?
The TRB501 is an evolution and offers three key advantages over the TRB500: a faster 2.5 Gbps Ethernet port (instead of 1 Gbps), a more modern 5G modem compliant with 3GPP Release 16, and native support for SCADA industrial protocols like Modbus and DNP3.
Can the TRB501 be managed remotely?
Yes, the gateway is fully compatible with the Teltonika Remote Management System (RMS). This allows for centralized configuration, device status monitoring, firmware updates, and remote command-line access for an entire fleet of devices.
For which use cases is the TRB501 particularly well-suited?
It is ideal for industrial IoT (IIoT) applications that require high bandwidth and low latency. Examples include connecting smart grids, remote control of machinery, and networking critical infrastructure.
Does the TRB501 require special Antennas?
Four standard cellular Antennas are included in the package. However, for optimal performance, especially in areas with weak signals, the use of external 4x4 MIMO 5G Antennas is recommended to significantly improve signal quality and stability.
How is the TRB501 reset to factory settings?
A factory reset can be performed by pressing the reset button on the back for at least 12 seconds, via the web user interface in the 'System > Backup' menu, or via the command line with the `firstboot` command.
