Which Model Should I Choose?

Single Ethernet device, no serial ports needed

Use the TRB140 (4G) or TRB160 (4G Cat 6 with higher throughput and OPC UA). The TRB160 also supports USB-C power and data.

RS232 serial device

Use the TRB142 for a single RS232 device. If you also need Ethernet and dual SIM, use the TRB246.

RS485 or Modbus RTU devices

Use the TRB145 for a simple RS485 gateway. For the full interface set with dual SIM and GPS, use the TRB246.

M-Bus meters (gas, water, heat)

Only one option: the TRB143. It is the only TRB model with M-Bus.

Need both RS232 and RS485 with dual SIM

The TRB246 covers both serial interfaces, Ethernet, I/O and GPS with dual SIM failover.

NB-IoT or deep coverage sensors

Use the TRB256. It supports NB-IoT, LTE Cat M1 and the 450 MHz band for maximum penetration.

5G industrial gateway

The TRB501. Do not buy the TRB500 for new projects – order deadline is May 2026 and the TRB501 is substantially better.

North America deployment

The TRB247 is FCC/IC certified for US and Canada with LTE Cat 1 bis.
