Can we use a 4G SIM in a 5G router?

The new generation of networks, 5G, has been under construction for some time. Now you might wonder "Can I use a 4G SIM in a 5G router?"

The answer is YES, and that brings another question: Can we use 5g data with 4G sim card?

The answer is also YES. It depends on the equipment you are using. Let’s take cell phone for example.

Due to the use of frequency bands and new technologies in THE 5G network, 4G products equipped with 4G baseband cannot use the 5G network simply by inserting a 5G mobile phone card. They can only use the 5G network after changing to a mobile phone that supports 5G.

1. 4G mobile phones still need to be compatible with 3G network to maintain network connection when 4G signal is not good and stable. Therefore, 5G SIM cards can support 4G network access, so 4G mobile phones can be used normally.
2. 5G network need to upgrade a mobile phone is because there are a lot of new technology in 5G network needs the support of the 5G baseband and SIM card in the mobile phone is a identification, storage, information such as your phone number verification card, itself does not participate in the 5G communication of data exchange, so the 4G mobile phone SIM card is also able to transition to 5G in the network, 5G cards are also available in 4G phones.

In a word, routers or cell phones can support any sim card, but using whicn kind of data is depend on the routers/phones itself. 4G network will need routers/phones support 4G FDD/TDD network, and 5G network will need routers/phones support 5G NR network.

So what are the advantages of 5G routers?

1. High stability

One of the main advantages of industrial-grade 5G routers is their high stability in transmitting and receiving data. It uses high performance industrial grade wireless modules and industrial grade high stability and precision components to withstand harsh outdoor environments without interruption or loss of data transmission.

2. Fast data transmission and processing

Compared with ordinary routers, industrial-grade 5G routers use high-performance CPU processors, so their data transmission and processing speed are several times faster than ordinary routers, and they can simultaneously meet the needs of more people to connect to the network, with longer transmission distance and larger coverage.

3. powerful functions

Advanced industrial-grade 5G routers have more powerful functions than ordinary routers. For ordinary household routers, functions are simple as long as they can connect to the network normally. But for the industrial control industry, routers need more functions to meet the normal operation. Industrial-grade 5G routers have corresponding functions to meet the needs of different fields. If other special functions are needed, customized products can also be selected.

E-Lins has two 5G router model H685f and H900f, can support many functions like Serial, GPS, WiFi, DIO, etc. If interested contact us freely!
