IoT-gateway Teltonika TRB160 4G LTE Cat6

The TRB160 is an ultra-small, lightweight, and energy-efficient IoT gateway that provides mission-critical 4G LTE Cat 6 connectivity, Gigabit Ethernet and a virtual network interface via USB Type-C for simultaneous power and data. Designed for reliable M2M communication, the Teltonika TRB160 delivers cellular speeds up to 300 Mbps with carrier aggregation and supports common industrial protocols over a compact aluminum IP30-rated enclosure.

Advantages

The Teltonika TRB160 combines high-speed LTE Cat 6 cellular performance with Gigabit Ethernet and a USB Type-C virtual interface in a very compact form factor. It uses an ARM Cortex-A7 processor and supports a broad set of network protocols such as TCP, UDP and MQTT, enabling flexible integration into existing systems. Its energy-efficient design, external SMA antenna support and durable aluminum housing ensure stable operation in varied deployments.

Suitable for

• Remote sensors and telemetry
• Industrial M2M connectivity
• Edge data collection and forwarding
• Backup WAN or primary cellular WAN for routers and devices

Key specifications

• Cellular: 4G LTE Cat 6, up to 300 Mbps with carrier aggregation
• Ethernet: 10/100/1000 Mbit/s (Gigabit Ethernet)
• Interfaces: USB Type-C (virtual network + power), SMA antenna connector
• Processor: ARM Cortex-A7
• Enclosure and rating: Aluminum enclosure, IP30
• Protocols: TCP, UDP, MQTT and other common industrial protocols

How to use

Install an active SIM card with a suitable data plan into the TRB160, attach the external SMA antenna and connect the device to power via the USB Type-C port or an appropriate power source. Configure network parameters and desired protocols (TCP/UDP/MQTT) using the device management interface, then connect sensors or network equipment to the Gigabit Ethernet port for data transmission over cellular or wired networks.

Recommendations

Place the gateway where cellular signal strength is adequate and use the external SMA antenna orientation to improve reception. For continuous operation, use a reliable power source and configure firmware updates and monitoring to ensure long-term stability.
