Your Upgrade to Industrial 5G Connectivity
The Teltonika TRM500 is no ordinary modem. It is the bridge that connects your professional hardware with the future of mobile communications. Whether you want to upgrade an industrial PC, a server, or a router without its own modem – this compact powerhouse delivers a stable and ultra-fast data connection directly via USB-C. Forget complicated installations. The TRM500 was developed to function as a pure client device, giving your system direct access to the 5G Network. It is the missing puzzle piece for any IoT project that requires the highest performance and reliability.
Built for Extremes: A Modem That Withstands More
When your technology is used outdoors, in vehicles, or in production halls, different rules apply. The TRM500 is designed precisely for these scenarios. Its anodized aluminum housing and IP30 protection rating shield it from solid foreign objects. The truly impressive part, however, is the operating temperature range: From arctic -40 °C to hot +75 °C, this modem operates absolutely reliably. In combination with the wide input voltage range on the 4-pin connector (9-30 VDC) and protection mechanisms against overvoltage, it is the perfect, robust 5G modem for outdoor use and mobile applications.
Full Control for Professionals: Antennas & Configuration
Standard solutions are often not enough. That's why the TRM500 gives you full flexibility. With four external SMA connectors, you are not dependent on the included Antennas. Mount specialized 5G Antennas / Outdoor Antennas to maximize signal quality in difficult locations and guarantee a stable connection. The configuration is also tailored to professional users. Instead of a web interface, you control the modem directly via AT commands. This allows deep integration into your systems and the automation of processes – ideal for developers and system integrators who require maximum control.
Future-Proof and Globally Deployable
With support for the 3GPP Release 16 standard, the TRM500 is technologically state-of-the-art and prepared for future developments in the 5G Network. The extremely broad coverage of mobile frequency bands for 5G, 4G, and 3G ensures that you can use this modem worldwide in a wide variety of Network infrastructures. Whether for telematics, remote maintenance of machines, or as a high-speed backup line – the TRM500 offers a long-term reliable and powerful solution that grows with your requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can the Teltonika TRM500 create a WiFi network?
No, the TRM500 is a pure cellular modem without WiFi functionality. It provides an internet connection for a device connected via USB-C, but cannot broadcast a WiFi signal itself.
Does the TRM500 always require a separate Power Supply?
Not necessarily. It can be powered directly via the USB-C port, provided the connected device can supply the required 5V at 3A. For systems that cannot, a separate 4-pin industrial power connector is available.
Is the modem suitable for use in vehicles?
Yes, absolutely. The wide input voltage range (9-30V DC), high robustness, and E-Mark certification make it perfect for use in vehicles, transportation, and telematics applications.
What does "industrially robust" mean for the TRM500?
This refers to the durable aluminum casing (IP30), an extreme operating temperature range of -40°C to +75°C, protection mechanisms on the Power Supply, and the option for fixed mounting on a DIN rail.
Can I use any SIM card in the TRM500?
Yes, the modem is not SIM-locked and can be operated with a Mini-SIM card (2FF) from any provider. Adapters for smaller formats are included in the scope of delivery.
How is the Teltonika TRM500 configured?
Configuration is not done via a web interface, but by sending AT commands over a serial connection emulated via the USB port. This requires technical expertise.
