5G Routers – Professional Mobile Broadband for Business, Industry and IoT

A 5G router turns mobile coverage into a fast, reliable internet connection that rivals fibre. It’s built for business, not home Wi-Fi — designed to run continuously, manage remote networks, and stay connected even when fixed lines fail.

At 3G Router Store, we supply industrial-grade 5G routers from leading brands such as Teltonika and Robustel — all from UK stock. As a Teltonika Diamond Distributor, we guarantee genuine hardware, expert pre-sales advice, and next-day delivery nationwide.

Whether you’re upgrading an office link, adding resilience to a CCTV system, or deploying new IoT equipment in the field, our routers deliver dependable performance and remote management tools that save both time and site visits.

Why Businesses Are Switching to 5G Routers

  • Real-world performance: Typical UK 5G speeds reach 70–100 Mbps download and 10–40 Mbps upload, compared with around 10–30 Mbps down and 2–15 Mbps up on 4G.
  • Rapid deployment: Connect instantly anywhere with mobile coverage — no waiting for line installations or network surveys.
  • Dual-SIM and multi-network resilience: Automatically switch between operators or aggregate multiple connections for higher throughput and uptime.
  • Scalable IoT backhaul: Connect sensors, gateways, and controllers through private APNs or secure VPNs.
  • Built for demanding environments: Metal-cased, wide-temperature, and designed for continuous use.

What to Look For

Feature What it means Why it matters
Dual-SIM or Multi-SIM Two or more SIM slots Maintains uptime if one network drops.
5G NR + 4G LTE fallback Works across all UK bands Seamless service in partial-coverage areas.
Gigabit Ethernet & Wi-Fi 5/6 High-speed LAN & WLAN Avoids bottlenecks for connected devices.
Rugged industrial design Metal enclosure, DIN-rail or wall-mount Suits vehicles, cabinets and plant rooms.
Remote management RMS/Cloud platform, VPN & firmware updates Essential for unmanned or multi-site setups.
External antenna connectors SMA ports for 4×4 MIMO Allows upgrade to outdoor antennas if needed.

Signal and Antenna Guidance

If you have strong indoor 5G signal, the supplied antennas are usually sufficient.
If coverage indoors is marginal, you have two good options:

  1. Fit external 5G antennas positioned for clear line-of-sight; or

  2. Choose an outdoor 5G router like the Teltonika OTD500, which mounts externally and connects back to your LAN via Ethernet.

Good antenna placement can easily double throughput and stabilise connections in fringe coverage areas.

Case Study – CCTV Upgrade with 5G and IoT eSIM

A long-standing customer running construction-site CCTV systems came to us with a problem: their fleet of older 4G routers struggled with congestion and frequent SIM changes whenever they switched providers.

We supplied Teltonika RUTM30 5G routers, each fitted with a multi-network IoT eSIM. The upgrade instantly lifted average site speeds from around 20 Mbps to 80 Mbps, providing smoother HD video uploads and faster remote access for engineers.

Because the RUTM30 supports both 5G NR and 4G LTE, the routers automatically select the strongest available network. In areas with multiple operators, they can also aggregate connections to maintain stable bandwidth even under heavy load.

The IoT eSIM adds another layer of resilience — it’s network-agnostic and re-programmable, so when the customer changes IoT SIM providers, there’s no physical SIM swap. The result: fewer engineer call-outs, no downtime during transitions, and a future-proofed connectivity setup ready for years of service.

Typical Applications

  • CCTV and security systems – High-uplink bandwidth for live video.
  • Temporary or remote sites – Construction, renewables, pop-up offices.
  • Vehicle and transport – Connectivity for fleet, telemetry or rail.
  • Industrial and IoT – PLCs, gateways, sensors over VPN or private APN.
  • Office backup – Automatic failover when fixed broadband fails.

Recommended Models

  • Teltonika RUTX50 – Dual-SIM 5G router with Wi-Fi 5, Gigabit ports and RMS remote management.
  • Teltonika RUTM51 – Compact 5G NR router with Wi-Fi 6, ideal for vehicle or field use.
  • Teltonika RUTM30 – Entry-level industrial 5G router supporting IoT eSIMs and multi-network aggregation.
  • Teltonika OTD500 – Outdoor 5G router with built-in antennas for weak-signal locations.
  • Robustel R5020 – Enterprise-grade 5G router with extended temperature range and advanced VPN.
  • Teltonika TRB500 Gateway – Single-port 5G Ethernet gateway for embedded systems.

All supplied with UK power supplies, full documentation and optional antennas and cables.

5G vs 4G – The Real Difference

Category 4G LTE (typical UK) 5G NR (typical UK)
Download speed 10–30 Mbps 70–100 Mbps
Upload speed 2–15 Mbps 10–40 Mbps
Latency 30–60 ms 10–20 ms
Reliability Good Excellent with dual-SIM failover
Best use-case General internet Business, CCTV, IoT, remote access

Buying Advice

Before ordering, check 5G coverage for your chosen operator. For best results:

  • Position the router near a window or external wall.
  • Use low-loss coax antenna extension cables for external antennas.
  • Avoid mixing internal and external antennas on one MIMO pair.
  • For poor indoor signal or long cable runs, the Teltonika OTD500 outdoor router is ideal.

Our technical team can verify coverage and recommend the most efficient setup before dispatch.

FAQs

Can I use a 4G SIM in a 5G router?
Yes. All 5G routers support 4G LTE fallback and will automatically use the best available signal.

Is 5G secure for business use?
Industrial routers include VPN, firewall and remote-management tools meeting enterprise standards.

Do I need external antennas?
If signal indoors is strong, the supplied antennas are fine. For weak areas, use external antennas or an outdoor router such as the OTD500.

Will 5G replace my broadband?
Often, yes. Many businesses now use 5G as their primary or backup internet connection.

What’s the advantage of an IoT eSIM?
An IoT eSIM allows remote re-provisioning and network changes without physically replacing SIM cards — reducing site visits and future-proofing connectivity.
