At IOTE 2025 in Shenzhen, FCTEL's independently developed FCT-081501 5G + Wi-Fi 6 industrial router received an Innovative Product Gold Award. The product was selected from more than 500 entries and recognized for advancing reliable connectivity in industrial IoT applications.
Four practical technology advantages
Resilient multi-network connectivity
The router supports 5G NR SA/NSA, 4G and 3G networks with dual-SIM dual-standby operation. Cellular and Gigabit WAN links can back each other up, helping field devices remain connected when a primary path fails.
High throughput and flexible interfaces
Dual-band Wi-Fi 6 supports up to 128 wireless devices. Interfaces include three Gigabit LAN ports, one Gigabit WAN port, one SFP fiber port, 16 DI/DO/AI/AO channels and configurable serial connectivity, enabling consolidated data acquisition and transparent transmission.
Industrial-grade reliability
An IP40 aluminum enclosure, a quad-core 64-bit RISC-V processor, wide-temperature operation from −40°C to 85°C and rigorous EMC and surge testing help the router operate in demanding industrial environments. Its specified MTBF exceeds 100,000 hours.
Remote management and security
Web, SNMP and CLI management simplify remote diagnostics and upgrades. Modbus conversion, MQTT compatibility, VPN tunneling, stateful packet inspection and DDoS protection support secure integration with industrial and cloud platforms.
The award reinforces FCTEL's continued investment in 5G, Wi-Fi 6, edge connectivity and dependable industrial communications for smart manufacturing, transportation, energy and other critical applications.
