Teltonika TRB501 FAQ

Does the TRB501 support eSIM?
No. The TRB501 uses a single Mini-SIM (2FF) slot for physical SIM cards. For eSIM capability, consider Teltonika models such as RUT241-eSIM, RUTM30 or RUTM54.

What SIM cards are recommended?
Industrial-grade roaming or multi-network IoT SIM cards are recommended for maximum uptime and coverage.

What makes the TRB501 different from the TRB500?
The TRB501 adds a 2.5 Gbps Ethernet port, a Release 16 5G modem, and native SCADA protocol support, making it better suited for utilities and industrial automation.

Is the TRB501 suitable for SCADA systems?
Yes. With Modbus, DNP3, and DLMS support, it integrates directly with SCADA and telemetry systems.

What is the operating range?
It operates continuously from −40 °C to +75 °C in demanding industrial environments.

Can the TRB501 be managed remotely?
Yes. It is fully compatible with Teltonika RMS for configuration, monitoring, and firmware management.

Antennas for the TRB501

The TRB501 is supplied with 4 x 5G paddle antennas, however, in many installations an alternative antenna may be required – at the Router Store we stock a wide range of 4×4 MiMo 5G Antennas including the Teltonika PR1KC647 roof/panel mount antennas.
