Which operating system does my Robustel device use?
Robustel has three named operating systems: RobustOS, RobustOS Pro and MG Core. Each serves a different group of devices. Use the model table below to find the operating system for your product and choose the appropriate firmware and software documentation.
Some products use other software: MG460 Computer runs Debian 13, MG460 Switch has dedicated switch software, and M1000-MP is an AT-command modem without an operating system.

Three operating systems at a glance
Industrial networking and device applications
RobustOS is Robustel’s Linux-kernel-based operating system for industrial routers and selected other devices. It combines routing, VPNs, firewall controls and link management with local configuration through a Web interface and CLI. The C/C++ SDK supports custom applications; RCMS provides centralized device monitoring and management.
Used on the cellular routers listed below, R1320LGe and M1200.
Edge computing alongside industrial networking
RobustOS Pro provides a Debian-based environment for native Linux applications and Docker containers alongside networking functions. It supports development with familiar tools and languages, including C/C++, Python, Java and Node.js. It is a distinct operating system from RobustOS, not a firmware upgrade for RobustOS devices.
Used on the listed EG devices, R1520LG, LG devices and EV8100.
Shipboard networking and cybersecurity
MG Core is Robustel’s operating system for maritime gateways. It focuses on network separation, controlled access and auditing for shipboard networks, with support for IEC 61162-460 network architecture. MG460 Gateway and MG460 Forwarder use different software branches and provide different functions.
Used on MG460 Gateway and MG460 Forwarder; not MG460 Switch or MG460 Computer.
Available functions and applications depend on the device model and firmware release. Sharing an operating system does not mean that devices accept the same firmware or App package.
Find the operating system for your model
Match the full model name on your product label. Where a Web interface is available, you can also check its device information page. For MG460 products, include the role: Gateway, Forwarder, Switch or Computer.
Each model has its own row below. This is an operating-system mapping, not a list of interchangeable firmware packages or a product lifecycle statement.

Use the matching software documentation
- Start with the firmware, App downloads and manuals for your exact model.
- For variant-specific information, use the Device Part Number as well as the Model Name.
- Do not identify an operating system from a model prefix alone: R1320LGe and R1520LG, for example, use different operating systems.
