Quick reference for NK R700 and NK R400 specifications — distilled from NetKonnekt device documentation.

NK R700 — Industrial 5G + WiFi 7

OpenWRT · dual SIM · wide-temp operation

What 5G performance does the R700 deliver?

Peak downlink is approximately 4.6 Gbps on 5G Sub-6 in both SA and NSA modes, using 4CA on the downlink and 2CA on the uplink with 256-QAM in both directions. LTE fallback is Cat 20 downlink / Cat 18 uplink. Real-world results depend on your carrier and RF conditions.

Which 5G release and WiFi standard does it use?

Cellular follows 3GPP 5G Release 17. WiFi is 802.11be (WiFi 7) in 2T2R configuration across 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz, with DBS/HBS modes and up to about 5.8 Gbps in high-band simultaneous operation.

What networking and VPN capabilities are built in?

The platform runs Linux with OpenWRT 22.03 and includes protocols such as TCP, FTP, HTTP/S, DHCP, NAT, QoS, VPN client/gateway, and IPSec pass-through/client as listed in the specifications.

What are the Ethernet and SIM options?

It provides one 2.5 Gbps LAN and one 2.5 Gbps WAN/LAN (Auto MDI/MDIX), plus dual nano SIM interfaces with a push-in/push-out tray.

What are the environmental and physical specs?

Operating temperature is -20°C to +60°C. Dimensions are approximately 90 × 90 × 60 mm at 0.5 kg. Power is dual redundant — a 12V/3A barrel jack plus USB-C (5V/5A) — with a hardware reset button and LED indicators for power, WiFi, 5G, and link activity.

Is GNSS available?

An optional multi-constellation GNSS configuration supports GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, and QZSS with an active L1 & L5 antenna.

Which 5G NR and LTE bands are supported?

The R700 ships with a single band plan — there are no separate regional SKUs. 5G NR covers n2, n5, n7, n12, n13, n14, n25, n26, n29, n30, n38, n41, n48, n66, n70, n71, n77, and n78, including CBRS (n48). LTE covers B2, B4, B5, B7, B12, B13, B14, B17, B25, B26, B29, B30, B41, B42, B43, B48, B66, and B71.

NK R400 — Industrial 5G RedCAP router

Snapdragon X35 · RS-485 · wide-temp aluminium chassis

What platform powers the NK R400?

It is built on the Qualcomm Snapdragon X35 5G Modem-RF — the first RedCAP-optimised platform — following 3GPP Release 17.

What is 5G RedCAP, and what speeds does it deliver?

RedCAP (Reduced Capability) is a lighter 5G profile aimed at industrial IoT rather than peak throughput. Specified performance is 223 Mbps down / 123 Mbps up on 5G NR RedCAP SA, with LTE Cat-4 fallback at 200 Mbps down / 105 Mbps up.

Which bands does it support?

25 5G NR bands (n1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 12, 13, 14, 18, 20, 25, 26, 28, 30, 38, 40, 41, 48, 66, 70, 71, 77, 78, 79) and 30 LTE bands (B1–B5, B7, B8, B12–B14, B17–B20, B25, B26, B28, B30, B34, B38–B43, B48, B66, B70, B71, B106).

What antennas and SIM options are available?

Four external SMA antennas — two wide-profile cellular and two slim-profile WiFi, both in 2×2 MIMO with Rx diversity. SIM is a front-facing push-push nano SIM, with eSIM available as an option.

What ports does it provide?

One dedicated LAN1 RJ45 (a 4-port option is available), one software-defined LAN0/WAN RJ45, and an optional RS-485 serial port on a terminal block for solar panels, energy meters, and industrial sensors. Power is a wide-voltage DC barrel jack, plus recessed RESET and WPS buttons.

What do the LED indicators show?

WPS, WiFi, Internet, and Mobile indicators, plus a five-segment signal strength bar that reports RSRP at a glance.

How rugged is it, and how does it mount?

The chassis is extruded aluminium for EMI shielding and passive heat dissipation, rated -40°C to +70°C at 5–95% RH non-condensing. It mounts on a DIN rail or wall.
