R690 Series
NB-R690-5G
Industrial 5G Router with Wi-Fi 6
The Newbridge R690-5G converts a 5G, 4G or 3G mobile connection into five Gigabit Ethernet ports and a dual-band Wi-Fi 6 network. A fanless aluminium enclosure rated −40 °C to 85 °C, locking FAKRA antenna connectors and a 10–55 V DC input with ignition sense suit it to vehicles, kiosks and unattended sites. The Linux-based system runs Docker containers, with remote management over TR-069 and SNMP.
