Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the difference between a 5G modem and a 5G router?
A 5G modem like the Teltonika TRM500 merely establishes the connection to the mobile Network and converts the mobile signal into a data signal usable by your end devices. A 5G router, on the other hand, additionally offers advanced Network functions such as WiFi, Ethernet ports, firewall, DHCP server, and VPN functions to manage a local Network and connect multiple devices.
What speeds does the Teltonika TRM500 achieve?
Your Teltonika TRM500 achieves download speeds of up to 3.4 Gbit/s (with 4x4 MIMO) in 5G NSA (Non-Standalone) mode and up to 2.4 Gbit/s in 5G SA (Standalone) mode. It is also backward compatible and supports 4G LTE Cat 19 with up to 1.6 Gbit/s download and 3G with up to 42 Mbit/s.
Is the Teltonika TRM500 suitable for industrial applications?
Yes, your Teltonika TRM500 is specifically designed for industrial applications. It features a robust anodized aluminum housing with IP30 protection and can operate in a wide temperature range from -40 °C to 75 °C, making it resistant to harsh environmental conditions.
How is the Teltonika TRM500 powered?
Your TRM500 can be powered via the USB Type-C port with 5V DC (where your host must provide 3A) or via a separate 4-pin industrial DC connector with an input voltage of 9-30 VDC.
Which SIM cards are supported by the Teltonika TRM500?
Your Teltonika TRM500 has a single SIM card slot for Mini-SIM cards (2FF) and supports both 1.8 V and 3 V SIM cards.
Can the Teltonika TRM500 also be used in areas without 5G coverage?
Yes, your Teltonika TRM500 is fully backward compatible with 4G (LTE Cat 19) and 3G networks. This ensures an uninterrupted connection even in areas where 5G coverage is not available.
