Overview
RX54 overview
Core Purpose
The RX54 5G RedCap router is designed to provide stable and secure connectivity in industrial environments. It combines mobile networking, local connectivity, and device integration into a single compact unit. This allows businesses to connect remote equipment, systems, or locations without relying on fixed infrastructure.
Connectivity and Communication
The device uses 5G RedCap technology to deliver reliable mobile connectivity with balanced speed and efficiency. It also supports LTE fallback, helping maintain connectivity when 5G coverage is limited. Dual SIM functionality enables automatic failover, so the router can switch between operators without manual intervention.
For local networking, the router includes Wi-Fi and Ethernet ports, making it easy to connect nearby devices. It supports secure communication through VPN technologies like OpenVPN and IPsec, ensuring that transmitted data remains protected across public networks.
Positioning and Tracking
A built-in multi-constellation GNSS receiver supports GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo. This improves positioning accuracy and reliability, especially in challenging environments where a single system may struggle. As a result, the router can be used in applications where precise location tracking is required.
Monitoring and Network Management
The router includes tools for continuous connection monitoring, such as automatic reboot triggers and link checks. These features help maintain uptime by detecting and responding to network issues quickly.
It also supports advanced diagnostics and scripting, allowing users to customise how the device behaves in different scenarios. This flexibility makes it suitable for both simple deployments and more complex network setups.
Expansion and I/O Support
The device provides multiple integration options, including RS232, RS485, and configurable GPIO. These interfaces allow it to connect with industrial equipment, sensors, or control systems.
This makes the router more than just a connectivity device–it can act as a bridge between networks and physical systems, enabling data exchange and remote control.
Power and Environmental Suitability
Designed for demanding conditions, the router operates within a wide temperature range of –40°C to +65°C. It supports an 8–30V DC power input and can also use passive PoE, giving flexibility in how it is powered.
Its compact aluminium enclosure with IP30 protection makes it suitable for installation in control cabinets or protected industrial environments.

Applications
RX54 applications
Industrial Automation
The router connects machines and control systems using Ethernet and serial interfaces like RS232/RS485. This enables remote monitoring, data collection, and control of industrial processes without requiring on-site access.
Remote Infrastructure
For remote sites such as substations or field installations, the router provides stable 5G connectivity with automatic failover. This ensures continuous communication even when network conditions change.
Security and Surveillance
With secure VPN support and reliable connectivity, the device can transmit video data from surveillance systems. This helps maintain secure and consistent monitoring of facilities.
Financial and Retail Systems
The router supports secure data transmission, making it suitable for financial terminals and payment systems. Encryption and VPN features help protect sensitive transaction data.
Smart Infrastructure
The device can integrate with sensors and external systems through GPIO and serial interfaces. This supports applications like smart city deployments, where data from multiple sources needs to be collected and transmitted.
Enterprise Networking
Businesses can use the router as a primary or backup connection, thanks to dual SIM and WAN failover. This helps maintain network availability for critical operations.

Questions
RX54 questions and answers
Which RX model do I need?
Decide two things. Network: 4G LTE (RX44, RX44x2) or 5G RedCap with LTE fallback (RX54, RX54x2). Redundancy: one cellular module, or two independent modules in the x2 versions that keep the link up if one network fails.
What is the difference between LTE CAT.4 and CAT.6?
CAT.4 reaches up to 150 Mbps downlink and falls back to 3G (HSPA) and 2G (EDGE, GPRS, GSM). CAT.6 reaches up to 300 Mbps and falls back to 3G only; there is no 2G on CAT.6.
What is 5G RedCap?
RedCap (Reduced Capability) is a lighter 5G NR profile defined in 3GPP Release 17 for industrial IoT. RX54 delivers up to 220 Mbps downlink and 120 Mbps uplink and falls back to LTE where 5G coverage is limited.
Which models have GNSS?
The single-module RX44 and RX54 include a GPS, GLONASS and Galileo receiver. The dual-module RX44x2 and RX54x2 do not.
Can the router be powered over Ethernet?
Yes. Passive PoE-in on Ethernet port 1 accepts 8–30 V, in addition to the 8–30 V DC Microfit4 power input.
Which VPN tunnels are supported?
OpenVPN (one server and several clients), IPsec IKEv1/IKEv2, WireGuard, GRE, EoIP, PPTP, L2TPv2/v3 and DMVPN.
