Providing reliable mobile connectivity in outdoor environments can be challenging. Traditional routers are designed for indoor use and often require additional weatherproof enclosures when deployed outside, adding cost and complexity to installations. Businesses can also experience reduced 5G performance when routers are located indoors, as higher-frequency 5G bands do not penetrate buildings as effectively as lower-frequency signals.
To address these challenges, Jola now offers the Teltonika OTD500 outdoor 5G router with flexible mobile data packages and full support through Mobile Manager. Unlike traditional routers, the OTD500 is designed to be installed outdoors and features an IP55 ingress protection rating, making it resistant to dust and water ingress. By installing the router outdoors, customers can often achieve stronger signal strength, higher data throughput and improved connection reliability, particularly in locations where indoor coverage is challenging.
The OTD500 combines high-speed 5G connectivity with a rugged outdoor design and can be remotely monitored and managed through the RMS platform. Partners can support services from a single platform, simplifying deployment and ongoing management. Combined with Jola’s mobile data solutions, this provides a reliable and scalable option for outdoor connectivity projects.
The OTD500 is available immediately with a range of Jola mobile data packages, giving partners a way to deliver reliable connectivity across CCTV, construction, EV charging and other outdoor deployments.
Adrian Sunderland, Jola CEO said “Many of our partners support customers with connectivity requirements in locations where outdoor deployment delivers the best results. The OTD500 is different from traditional routers because it is designed to be installed outside. This enables customers to benefit from stronger 5G signal reception and improved performance, while giving partners a fully managed solution supported by Mobile Manager.”
