Teltonika RUT200 4G LTE Industrial Cellular Router

Teltonika RUT200 4G LTE Industrial Cellular Router

The Teltonika RUT200 (order code RUT200013000) is a compact 4G LTE Cat 4 industrial cellular router for single-SIM deployments where a small footprint and wide operating temperature are priorities. At 83 x 25 x 74 mm and 125 g, it fits into control panel enclosures, DIN rail installations, and vehicle cabs where a larger device would not. It supports LTE FDD bands B1, B3, B5, B7, B8, B20, and B28, covering all major UK and European 4G networks, with automatic fallback to 3G and 2G.

The RUT200 runs RutOS, Teltonika’s OpenWrt-based Linux operating system. RutOS delivers static and dynamic routing (BGP, OSPF, RIP, EIGRP), a full VPN stack including OpenVPN, IPsec, WireGuard, and DMVPN, plus Modbus TCP, OPC UA, DNP3, MQTT, and SNMP. Remote management runs through Teltonika RMS, which provides centralised configuration, FOTA, alerts, and tunnel-based access across deployed devices. The digital input and output on the 4-pin power connector allow event-driven actions including SMS alerts, email notifications, and RMS events without additional hardware.

This order code does not include eSIM. The RUT200013000 takes a single Mini SIM (2FF). eSIM is available on other RUT200 hardware variants (order codes 31**** and 34****) but not on this listing.

Applications

Retail and unattended payment terminals

The RUT200 is widely used for POS terminal and ATM backup connectivity. The compact form factor suits EPOS enclosures where space is tight. Ping reboot and automatic WAN failover between 4G and wired Ethernet keep payment connections live without manual intervention. Modbus TCP and MQTT extend the same unit to back-of-house stock and environmental monitoring on the same connection.

Remote SCADA and industrial monitoring

Modbus TCP client and server, DNP3 station and outstation, and OPC UA make the RUT200 a direct interface device for PLCs, RTUs, and industrial sensors. The digital input connects a plant alarm contact to an SMS or RMS alert. OpenVPN and IPsec provide the encrypted tunnel back to the SCADA head end. For deployments requiring RS232 or RS485 serial ports, the RUT956 is the correct model.

IP CCTV over 4G

The RUT200 is a common choice for IP camera connectivity at sites without fixed broadband – construction sites, rural properties, temporary compounds, and retail kiosks. A fixed IP SIM card removes the carrier-grade NAT barrier and allows direct inbound connections to an NVR or camera stream. The WAN port can be reconfigured as a second LAN port for camera-only networks with no wired uplink.

Smart metering and utilities

DLMS/COSEM client support and DNP3 outstation mode suit AMR and utility metering deployments. The -40 to +75 °C operating range covers outdoor meter cabinet conditions year-round in the UK. E-mark certification also permits installation in vehicular metering applications such as mobile generators and tanker monitoring.

Building management and IoT sensor networks

MQTT broker and publisher functionality allow the RUT200 to aggregate sensor data locally and forward it to Azure IoT Hub or AWS IoT Core. The digital input connects directly to door contacts, PIR sensors, or flood detectors. The I/O juggler feature in RutOS maps input states to output actions without custom scripting. VLAN support keeps sensor, management, and user traffic on separate logical networks.

Vehicle and transport

E-mark certification confirms the RUT200 meets electromagnetic compatibility requirements for in-vehicle installation. The 9-30 V DC input range covers both 12 V and 24 V vehicle systems. SMS management commands allow remote reboot, mobile data control, and status queries without an active RMS connection – useful for fleet vehicles operating on variable coverage.

Installation Notes

Antennas

The rear panel has two SMA female connectors for mobile (MAIN and AUX) and one RP-SMA female for Wi-Fi. The MAIN mobile antenna must always be connected before powering the router. Running without an antenna on the MAIN port will damage the modem. The AUX port improves MIMO receive performance but the router operates without it. For installations inside metal enclosures, external antennas on short low-loss cable runs consistently outperform the included stub antennas placed inside the cabinet.

SIM card

The front panel SIM slot takes a Mini SIM (2FF). It does not accept Micro SIM (3FF) or Nano SIM (4FF) – worth checking before installation if your team is used to more recent hardware. The holder is accessible without opening the enclosure. For remote management and inbound VPN connections, a fixed IP SIM is strongly recommended. Standard SIM cards sit behind carrier-grade NAT and block unsolicited inbound connections. A fixed IP SIM removes that constraint.

Power and passive PoE

The 4-pin power connector carries power, ground, digital input, and digital output. Pin order: Power (red), Ground (black), Input (green), Output (white). Order code RUT200013000 ships with a 9 W UK PSU. If powering via passive PoE on LAN1 instead, use a Mode B injector at 9-30 V DC. Do not connect an 802.3af or 802.3at switch or injector – these operate at 48 V on the data pairs and will damage the router. DIN rail and wall mount kits are sold separately and are not included in the box.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the RUT200 support dual SIM?

No. This order code (RUT200013000) has one Mini SIM slot and no eSIM. It does not provide hardware dual SIM failover. For dual SIM with automatic failover in the same compact form factor, the RUT901 is the step up. eSIM is available on separate RUT200 hardware variants (order codes 31**** and 34****) but those are different products from this listing.

What SIM card does the RUT200 need?

The RUT200 takes a standard Mini SIM (2FF) from any UK mobile network. For most remote access and IoT deployments, a fixed IP SIM is the right choice. Standard SIM cards receive a dynamic NATted IP from the carrier, which makes inbound VPN tunnels and remote camera access unreliable. A fixed IP SIM provides a static public address on the SIM. Call us on 0300 124 6181 to discuss SIM options for your deployment.

What is Teltonika RMS and does the RUT200 support it?

Teltonika RMS is a cloud-based remote management platform for Teltonika devices. It provides remote configuration, firmware updates, live diagnostics, alert rules, and encrypted tunnel access to devices behind NAT. The RUT200 is fully RMS compatible. See our Teltonika RMS explainer for a full overview. RMS runs on a credits-based model – credits are available separately.

Can I power the RUT200 via PoE?

The RUT200 accepts passive PoE via LAN1 using Mode B (spare pairs) at 9-30 V DC. This is not compatible with IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, or 802.3bt, which use 48 V on data pairs. Connecting a standard 802.3af or 802.3at injector or switch will damage the router. A 12 V or 24 V passive PoE injector works correctly. Order code RUT200013000 ships with a UK PSU, so passive PoE is an alternative rather than the default powering method.

What VPN protocols does the RUT200 support?

RutOS on the RUT200 supports OpenVPN (27 encryption methods, simultaneous client and server), IPsec (IKEv1 and IKEv2, 14 ciphers), WireGuard (client and server), ZeroTier (client), GRE, PPTP, L2TP v3, L2TP over IPsec, DMVPN Phase 2 and 3, SSTP, Stunnel, and Tinc. For a comparison of VPN options on Teltonika routers, see our VPN on cellular routers guide.

Does the RUT200 have serial ports?

No. The RUT200 does not have RS232 or RS485 interfaces. For deployments that require serial connectivity to PLCs, meters, or legacy equipment, the RUT956 is the correct model. It provides RS232 and RS485 alongside 4G, dual SIM, and GNSS.
