Teltonika OTD500 5G router, 4G/5G, 2 × gigabit LAN

The OTD500 gets its internet connection from the mobile network. A new office, a construction site, a summer house or a warehouse can be online right away instead of waiting for fibre to be installed. 5G generally offers lower latency and more capacity than 4G, but real-world speed always depends on operator coverage at that exact spot.

The router supports both 5G and 4G networks. If 5G coverage is absent or weak where it is installed, the connection carries on over 4G. That means the same unit works in town and in rural areas where 5G is still rolling out, and it does not need replacing when coverage improves.

The router has two RJ-45 ports running at up to 1000 Mbit/s. One can feed an office switch or an existing Wi-Fi router, the other a computer, a video recorder or another network device. Gigabit ports do not hold back the 5G link, so the full capacity of the mobile connection reaches your local network.

The OTD500 has no mesh support, so it does not join other routers in a single mesh system. If the premises need wide Wi-Fi coverage, a separate access point or mesh system is connected to its LAN port. The unit weighs 0.56 kg, which makes it easy to install and move around.

Businesses that need internet where there is no wired connection; construction and service companies setting up temporary sites; owners of a summer house or rural home where 5G or 4G is the only fast option; and IT administrators who want a backup link over the mobile network.
