Teltonika TRM500 – 5G modem with USB Type-C, 4G Cat 19 fallback and 4 x SMA antenna connectors
The Teltonika TRM500 is a compact and lightweight 5G modem with USB Type-C, designed for professional applications where mobile data connectivity via an external modem is desired. This industrial-grade 5G modem supports 5G Sub-6GHz SA/NSA with data rates up to 2.4/3.4 Gbps downlink and 900/550 Mbps uplink, and is backward compatible with 4G LTE Cat 19 and 3G. The USB Type-C interface supports simultaneous network data and powering, while four SMA mobile antenna connectors are provided for mobile connectivity. The housing is finished in anodized aluminum and the modem supports DIN rail, wall mount and flat surface mounting with additional kit. This makes the TRM500 a compact 5G modem solution for industrial and professional installations where 5G, USB Type-C and simple physical integration come together.
5G USB-C modem positioning for industrial and professional connectivity
The TRM500 is positioned as a USB-C 5G modem for environments requiring a compact mobile data module with high cellular data speeds and easy connection to host devices. The flyer names the modem as compact and lightweight 5G modem with ultra-high cellular speeds up to 3.4 Gbps, backward compatibility with 4G Cat 19 and 3G, four SMA antennas and DIN rail mounting options. Via USB Type-C, the device can handle both network data and powering, provided the USB host provides 5V @ 3A. This combination makes the TRM500 suitable for installations where a compact 5G modem is integrated into a professional hardware setup via USB Type-C.

5G modem technology, interfaces and integration
The TRM500 is built around 5G Sub-6GHz SA/NSA connectivity with 4×4 MIMO downlink and 2×2 MIMO uplink, complemented by 4G LTE Cat 19/Cat 18 and 3G support. The USB Type-C interface acts as a connection for network data and powering, requiring the USB host to provide 5V @ 3A to power the device via USB Type-C. In addition, the modem features a 4-pin industrial DC power socket with an input voltage of 9 – 30 VDC. With four SMA connectors for mobile antennas, one Mini SIM slot and a compact aluminum housing, the TRM500 fits professional integrations where mobile data is added via an external modem.
5G modem management and configuration
For software support, Teltonika mentions Windows Connection Manager and Modem Manager for Linux. In addition, the TRM500 supports USB Serial Driver for Windows 7/8/8.1/10/11, Linux 2.6~6.3 and Android 4.x ~ 13. Also specified are GNSS Driver, RIL Driver, NDIS Driver, MBIM Driver, Gobinet Driver and QMI_WWAN Driver for various Windows, Linux and Android environments. This allows the modem to be used within multiple host platforms for configuration, driver support and network communication via USB.
