Expert Features

• 4G Cat. 4 Outdoor Internet : Insert a Nano SIM and turn available cellular coverage into Wi-Fi, with up to 150Mbps LTE-FDD download and 50Mbps upload on the EU/Middle East/Africa version.
• AC1200 Dual-Band Wi-Fi 5 : Delivers up to 867Mbps on 5GHz + 300Mbps on 2.4GHz using four total spatial streams, giving connected devices a much stronger local wireless network than relying directly on mobile signal.
• Outdoor IP65 Protection : The weather-resistant enclosure is rated IP65 for protection against rain and dust when correctly installed vertically, making it suitable for exposed outdoor deployments.
• Serious Surge & ESD Protection : Built for rough installations with up to 4kV common-mode surge protection and 8kV air-discharge ESD protection, improving resilience against harsh outdoor electrical conditions.
• Extreme-Temperature Ready : Standard operating range is -20°C to 60°C, extending to -40°C to 65°C when used with an industrial-grade SIM card—important for exposed installations in severe climates.
• Two Detachable 4G Antennas : The cellular side uses 2 detachable antennas with SMA female connectors, allowing the supplied antennas to be replaced with suitable external antennas when installation conditions demand it.
• Beamforming Wi-Fi Coverage : Two internal Wi-Fi antennas combine with Beamforming to direct wireless energy more efficiently toward connected devices instead of spreading it blindly everywhere.
• Up To 50 Recommended Clients : Cudy specifies a recommended upper limit of 50 connected devices, with hardware capacity listed up to 128 clients. Performance still depends on workload and available internet bandwidth.
• 24V Passive PoE Installation : Power and networking can travel through the same Ethernet run using the included 24V passive PoE adapter, simplifying outdoor pole and wall installations.
• Up To 100m Wired Reach : Cudy states Ethernet can be extended up to 100 meters through the PoE installation, helping position the router where cellular reception is strongest rather than where the power outlet happens to be.
• Cudy Mesh Main Node : The LT500 Outdoor can operate as a Cudy Mesh main node with wired or wireless backhaul, allowing additional compatible Cudy access points to extend coverage indoors.
• Multiple Router Modes : Supports Cellular Router, Wi-Fi Router, and WISP modes, with WAN failover sequencing between WAN, WISP, and cellular connections.
• VPN Server + Client : Built-in VPN support includes WireGuard, OpenVPN, IPsec, ZeroTier, PPTP, and L2TP in both server and client roles.
• Cudy App + Cloud Management : Configure and monitor the router locally or remotely through the Cudy App, with cloud remote control, OTA updates, cellular statistics, device management, and network-status dashboards.
• Wall or Pole Installation : The supplied mounting hardware supports both wall-mounting and pole-mounting, giving installers flexibility for rooftops, facades, farms, warehouses, cafés, offices, and remote sites.
