Typical kit: Teltonika RUT956 or TRB246, with a private APN or VPN.
Remote engineering access
Engineers need secure access to protection relays and controllers without visiting site.
Typical kit: Teltonika routers with VPN, or access through Teltonika RMS.

From Teltonika
Teltonika publishes case studies showing its routers in real projects. See: remote wastewater substation connectivity with the RUT204. Teltonika's documentation wiki covers set-up for every router we sell.
Talk to an M2M and IoT connectivity specialist. Every site is different. Tell us what you need to connect, where it is and how you want to manage it, and our UK team will recommend the router, antenna and SIM, with configuration options if you want it ready to plug in.
Questions
