Teltonika routers and gateways: a link that holds in the field

At the site, a Teltonika router or gateway sits on the DIN rail and connects a machine, camera or controller via Ethernet, RS232/RS485 or digital I/O. Two SIM cards make sure the second one takes over automatically if one network fails. A VPN tunnel carries the traffic to your head office, and through the Teltonika Remote Management System (RMS) you can see and configure every device without it needing a public IP address.

Teltonika Networks builds routers, gateways, access points and switches for environments where office hardware gives up after its first summer in a control cabinet. All devices run RutOS, a Linux system based on OpenWrt. Anyone who can configure a RUT241 will feel at home on a RUTX50 or a TRB245, because firewall, failover and VPN are named the same everywhere.

The RUTX11 shows what the family is about: LTE Cat 6 with up to 300 Mbit/s, two SIM slots with automatic switchover, four gigabit Ethernet ports, dual-band Wi-Fi 5, GNSS for position and time synchronisation, operation from -40 °C to 75 °C on 9 to 50 V DC. On top of that comes rail certification to EN 45545-2. The RUTX50 lifts this to 5G with SA and NSA architecture, up to 3.3 Gbit/s downlink and five gigabit ports; in the Ascend Shop we also carry it as an eSIM variant.

For small sites the compact RUT241 is often enough: 4G LTE Cat 4, two Ethernet ports, Wi-Fi 4, digital inputs and outputs and automatic WAN failover. It is the all-rounder when a shop, a kiosk or a building site needs to get online quickly and reliably, also as a backup for an existing fixed-line connection.

Mobile connections usually have no public IP address. Without further measures, a router in the field is therefore unreachable as soon as something goes wrong. The Teltonika Remote Management System solves this by having the device establish the connection to the RMS platform itself. You see all routers, gateways and switches in a single interface, read signal values and data usage, change configurations, roll out firmware to many devices at once and reach devices behind the router via remote access.

RMS is licensed by points: one point equals one device for one month. A prepaid licence with 1,800 points therefore covers, for example, 50 devices for 36 months. You get the points through Ascend's 802.Cloud licence shop; we also carry the prepaid licence with 1,800 points as an item in the Ascend Shop. On request, we register new devices in your RMS account before shipping, so they appear in the overview right after power-up.

Energy and solar parks. Inverters, meters and cameras at remote sites report their data through a Teltonika router or a TRB gateway; Modbus TCP and MQTT run directly on the device. How we connect solar parks with 5G and Starlink is described on the page Internet for solar parks.

Vehicles, rail and mobile deployments. The RUTX11 and RUTX50 provide GNSS position and Wi-Fi in the vehicle; the RUTX11 is certified to EN 45545-2 for rail vehicles, the ATRM50 to EN 50155 and EN 45545-2 with M12 connectors. More under Wi-Fi for vehicles and Mobile router.

Industry and automation. The TRB245 and TRB501 connect a single controller via RS232/RS485 and digital inputs and outputs; the TSW212 distributes inside the control cabinet with Profinet Class B and two SFP uplinks for fibre.

Backup and site networking. As a second WAN path alongside DSL or fibre, a Teltonika router keeps checkouts, telephony and VPN alive when the line fails. For bonding several connections into one highly available line, we rely on Bondix or Peplink.

Ascend has been a systems house in Nuremberg since 2010 and distributes Teltonika Networks alongside Peplink, Bondix and Ekahau. We do not sell boxes, we sell working connections: you get the router with the SIM inserted, failover rules set up and a VPN tunnel; we handle the registration in your RMS account on request. What remains on site is mounting on the DIN rail.

With the hardware, we can supply the matching Ascend router SIM, which automatically registers in Germany with the network offering the best reception, applies at the same price across the EU and can be cancelled monthly. Antennas, power supplies and mounting kits for every Teltonika family are available in the shop.

Our support is available 24×7. If a site goes down, our technicians look at RMS first before anyone gets in a car. All prices in the shop are net; our offers are aimed at business customers.
