Cudy LT500 Outdoor 4G LTE Router for Flexible Internet Access
The LT500 Outdoor is well suited to remote locations, temporary installations, small businesses and areas where a wired internet connection is difficult to install. Its outdoor-oriented design allows the router to be positioned where it can achieve a stronger 4G signal, while the dual-band WiFi provides local wireless connectivity.
Key technical details include:
- 4G LTE Cat. 4 connectivity with up to 150 Mbps download and 50 Mbps upload speeds
- AC1200 dual-band WiFi 5 wireless networking
- 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz WiFi connectivity
- MU-MIMO technology for handling multiple connected devices
- Beamforming technology for improved WiFi coverage
- Supports more than 30 connected devices
- 1 x 10/100 Mbps WAN/LAN RJ45 port
- 1 x Nano SIM card slot
- 2 x internal WiFi antennas
- 2 x external detachable 4G antennas
- SMA connectors for optional external 4G antennas
- Includes a PoE adapter for convenient installation
Improved WiFi Coverage with Beamforming
Beamforming helps direct wireless signals towards connected devices instead of distributing the signal equally in every direction. Combined with the router's internal WiFi antennas and dual-band wireless capability, this can help provide more consistent coverage across different areas.
If additional coverage is required, the LT500 Outdoor can be used with another compatible Cudy access point to create a wider wireless network. This makes it easier to extend connectivity across larger homes, offices, cafes and other premises.
Easy 4G LTE Setup with Nano SIM
Getting connected is straightforward. Insert a compatible Nano SIM card into the router, connect the included PoE adapter, and the LT500 Outdoor can establish a 4G connection without requiring a traditional fixed-line internet service.
This makes the router particularly useful for locations where fibre or other wired broadband services are unavailable, inconvenient or too expensive to install.
PoE Installation with Up to 100 Metres of Ethernet
The included PoE adapter simplifies installation by allowing power and network connectivity to be delivered through Ethernet. An Ethernet cable can run from the PoE adapter or switch to the router for a wired network distance of up to 100 metres.
The Ethernet cable required for the installation is not included, so the appropriate cable length should be selected according to the installation requirements.
Extend the Network with an Access Point
For larger indoor areas, an additional access point can be connected to the PoE adapter. This provides another way to distribute the 4G internet connection throughout a home, office, cafe or similar environment.
An additional access point is purchased separately, allowing the network to be expanded according to the required coverage area.
External 4G Antenna Support
The LT500 Outdoor comes with two detachable external 4G antennas designed to provide a suitable cellular connection. For installations where a stronger or more specialised cellular antenna is required, the standard antennas can be replaced using the SMA connectors.
This antenna flexibility can be useful in rural areas, remote installations or locations where the router needs to be positioned some distance from the strongest available cellular signal.
