The Teltonika Router and Gateway Range

Teltonika produces seven active hardware families. Each targets a different position in the market, from compact entry-level 4G routers through to dual-modem 5G edge computing hardware. All run RutOS and all support Teltonika RMS. The tables below summarise the range stocked at routerstore.com.

RUT Series - Industrial 4G Routers

The RUT series covers entry and mid-range industrial 4G routers. All models use a compact metal enclosure, operate from -40 to +75°C, and run RutOS with the full industrial protocol stack. No Docker support. Single or dual SIM depending on model.

For RS232 or RS485 serial connectivity to PLCs and meters, the RUT901, RUT906, and RUT956 are the models to consider. For GNSS and GPS tracking alongside 4G, the RUT956 is the entry point in the RUT series. For compact single SIM deployments, the RUT200 or RUT241 are the common choices.

RUTX Series - Higher Performance 4G and 5G

The RUTX series runs on more capable hardware than the RUT range - faster CPU, more RAM, and Gigabit Ethernet. RUTX11 delivers dual SIM LTE Cat 6 with Wi-Fi 6. RUTX50 is Teltonika's 5G flagship with five Gigabit Ethernet ports and a 3.67 Gbps peak downlink.

RUTM Series - High-End 5G and Dual Modem

The RUTM series is Teltonika's high-end industrial range. Models include single 5G, dual 5G, dual modem 5G+4G, and variants with eSIM. All RUTM hardware runs on a dual-core 1.3 GHz ARM Cortex-A53 CPU with 1 GB RAM. No Docker support. For Teltonika eSIM routers, several RUTM models include embedded SIM capability alongside physical SIM slots.

RUTC Series - Edge Computing with Docker

The RUTC series adds Docker container support to the Teltonika hardware stack. This is the only Teltonika router family that supports Docker. All RUTC models have a dual-core ARM Cortex-A53 1.3 GHz CPU, 1 GB RAM, 8 GB flash, and Wi-Fi 6. They suit edge computing deployments where local application logic runs on the device - data pre-processing, local dashboards, protocol conversion - alongside the standard RutOS connectivity stack.

If your deployment needs application logic running at the edge - not just connectivity - the RUTC series is the correct starting point. Read the Docker on Teltonika routers explainer for a practical overview of what Docker enables on the RUTC hardware.

TRB Series - Compact IoT Gateways

TRB devices are compact single-port IoT gateways. Each has one Ethernet port plus cellular and runs the full RutOS industrial protocol stack. They suit DIN rail installations where space is constrained and only one wired connection is needed - connecting a single meter, controller, or sensor to a 4G network. Models include the TRB140 (4G), TRB142 (4G with RS232/RS485), TRB145 (4G with RS485 and I/O), and TRB255 (with RS232, RS485, and GNSS).

TSW Series - Managed Ethernet Switches

Teltonika TSW switches are RutOS-managed industrial Ethernet switches with optional PoE. They integrate with Teltonika RMS for remote monitoring and management alongside routers in the same deployment. Models include the TSW110 (8-port), TSW212 (8-port PoE), and TSW214 (8-port PoE+). All support VLAN, RSTP, SNMP, and Teltonika RMS.

TAP and DAP Series - Wi-Fi Access Points

The TAP100 and DAP145 are industrial Wi-Fi access points with RMS support. The DAP145 adds a built-in 4G modem for cellular backup. Both suit warehouse, factory floor, and outdoor deployments where managed Wi-Fi coverage is needed alongside cellular failover.

RutOS - The Teltonika Operating System

Every Teltonika router and gateway runs RutOS - an OpenWrt-based Linux operating system developed and maintained by Teltonika Networks. RutOS is not a consumer router firmware. It includes the full industrial protocol stack across every device in the range, regardless of price point.

Standard RutOS features relevant to industrial and IoT deployments include Modbus TCP and RTU (client and server), OPC UA, DNP3, DLMS/COSEM, MQTT broker and publisher, Data to Server, and BACnet on supported models. VPN support covers OpenVPN, WireGuard, IPsec (IKEv1/IKEv2), GRE, L2TP, DMVPN, ZeroTier, Tinc, and OpenConnect. Routing protocols include BGP, OSPF v2, RIP v1/v2, EIGRP, NHRP, and policy-based routing. Network backup handles mobile, Wi-Fi WAN, wired, and VRRP failover automatically.

RutOS also includes APN auto-configuration, band lock, operator allow/block lists, SMS management, SNMP v1/v2/v3, TR-069, JSON-RPC, and FOTA (firmware over the air). If you need help with APN settings for Teltonika routers, the routerstore.com team can advise for any UK network operator.

Teltonika RMS - Remote Management System

Teltonika RMS is a cloud-based remote management platform for Teltonika devices. Every router and gateway in the Teltonika range supports RMS. It provides a single dashboard for monitoring device status, configuring parameters, pushing firmware updates, and accessing device terminals remotely - without requiring a fixed IP SIM or open inbound firewall rule for many management tasks.

RMS operates on a credit model. Devices are added to RMS at no charge. Credits are consumed for remote access sessions, configuration pushes, and FOTA updates. RMS credits are available directly from routerstore.com. Zero-touch provisioning in RMS lets you pre-configure a device before dispatch and bring it online remotely - useful for large deployments where on-site configuration at scale is impractical.

For deployments requiring inbound VPN connections or direct IP access rather than RMS-proxied management, a fixed IP SIM removes the carrier-grade NAT barrier. Standard SIM cards sit behind carrier NAT and cannot accept inbound connections directly.

Teltonika Router Applications

Industrial Automation and SCADA

Teltonika RUT and TRB devices connect PLCs, SCADA controllers, and remote terminal units to a central SCADA platform over 4G. Modbus TCP and RTU, DNP3, and OPC UA are available in RutOS across the full range. RS232 and RS485 serial ports on the RUT901, RUT906, RUT956, and TRB series allow direct connection to legacy serial equipment without a separate converter. Dual SIM failover maintains the SCADA link if the primary network drops.

EV Charging Infrastructure

Teltonika routers provide cellular backhaul for EV charge point controllers at locations without fixed broadband. The RUT951 and RUT956 are common choices for multi-port charge point installations. 4G and 5G connectivity for EV charge points requires reliable uptime - dual SIM failover and ping reboot on Teltonika hardware address both requirements. OCPP communication between the charge point management system and the charger runs over the cellular link.

Fleet and Vehicle Telematics

The RUT956 and RUT204 carry integrated GNSS alongside 4G, allowing position data and machine telemetry to be sent over the same cellular link. The GNSS capability in Teltonika routers covers GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo, and QZSS on supported models. Geofencing, NMEA 0183 output, and TAVL server support are standard in RutOS. For CAN Bus vehicle data, the RUT204 adds a native CAN interface.

Remote Site Monitoring and Energy

Solar farms, wind turbines, substations, and water treatment sites use Teltonika routers for remote cellular connectivity where no fixed line is available. Wide DC power input ranges (9-57 VDC on some models) suit battery-backed installations. Sub-4 W power consumption on entry-level models keeps the draw from constrained energy budgets low. DLMS/COSEM and MQTT support connects smart meters and energy management systems directly.

Smart City and Transport Infrastructure

Roadside cabinets, traffic controllers, ANPR cameras, and digital signage use Teltonika routers for 4G backhaul. The compact RUT200 and RUT241 fit tight cabinet installations. For higher throughput applications - live CCTV over 4G, multi-stream video - the RUTX11 or RUTX50 provide the performance headroom. A fixed IP SIM allows inbound access to ANPR and CCTV equipment from the monitoring centre without VPN configuration complexity.

CCTV and Security Systems

Teltonika routers are widely used as cellular backhaul for IP CCTV systems at sites without fixed broadband - construction sites, car parks, temporary deployments, and rural locations. The RUT951 with four LAN ports connects multiple cameras directly. A fixed IP SIM paired with the router's built-in VPN allows secure inbound access from the NVR or monitoring station. For 4G antenna upgrades to improve signal in weak coverage areas, the 4G antenna range includes options from Fullband, Panorama, and Poynting compatible with all Teltonika SMA and RP-SMA connections.

For a fuller comparison of routers vs gateways in the Teltonika range, see the routerstore.com explainers.

What is Teltonika RMS and do I need it?

Teltonika RMS is a cloud platform for remote device management. If you are deploying more than a handful of Teltonika devices, RMS removes the need to visit each site for firmware updates, configuration changes, or fault diagnosis. RMS also provides a remote terminal and event alerting. For single-site deployments, RMS is optional - the router's WebUI is accessible directly. For multi-site or fleet deployments, RMS is the standard approach. RMS credits are available from routerstore.com.

Which Teltonika router should I choose for a dual SIM failover deployment?

Any model in the RUT series with dual SIM (RUT901, RUT906, RUT951, RUT956) provides hardware dual SIM failover. RutOS switches SIMs automatically on weak signal, data limit, roaming, no network, or connection failure. For higher throughput with dual SIM, the RUTX11 (4G Cat 6, Gigabit Ethernet, Wi-Fi 6) is the most common choice. For 5G dual SIM, the RUTM10 or RUTX50 are the starting points. Call 0300 124 6181 for a recommendation based on your specific site and SIM network requirements.

Do Teltonika routers support VPN?

Yes. RutOS includes OpenVPN, WireGuard, IPsec with IKEv1 and IKEv2, GRE, L2TP over IPsec, DMVPN Phase 2 and 3, ZeroTier, Tinc, SSTP, and OpenConnect across the full range. Multiple VPN tunnels can run simultaneously. For VPN on cellular routers to work with inbound connections, a fixed IP SIM is required - standard SIM cards operate behind carrier-grade NAT and cannot accept inbound connections without workarounds.

What SIM card does a Teltonika router need?

SIM format varies by model - most RUT series models use a Nano SIM (4FF). Check the individual product page for the correct format before ordering. For network selection, any UK mobile data SIM works. For applications needing inbound access - CCTV remote viewing, SCADA, VPN - a fixed IP SIM is strongly recommended. For deployments across multiple countries, a roaming SIM avoids the need for local SIM management in each territory. routerstore.com supplies both fixed IP and roaming SIMs alongside Teltonika hardware.

Does Teltonika make 5G routers?

Yes. Teltonika's 5G router range includes the RUTX50 (Sub-6 GHz, up to 3.67 Gbps), RUTM10, RUTM30, RUTM50, RUTM52, RUTM55, RUTM56, and RUTC50. The RUTM56 carries dual modems - simultaneous 5G and 4G LTE - for maximum resilience on deployments where throughput and uptime are both critical. All Teltonika 5G routers run the same RutOS and RMS platform as the 4G range.

Can Teltonika routers run Docker containers?

Docker is supported on the RUTC series only (RUTC40, RUTC41, RUTC50). No other Teltonika router family supports Docker. The RUTC hardware - dual-core 1.3 GHz ARM CPU, 1 GB RAM, 8 GB flash - is sized specifically for containerised edge applications. See the Docker on Teltonika routers explainer for deployment scenarios and practical examples.
