Industrial networking presents challenges that don’t show up in other networking applications. Networks can span miles. Operating conditions can be physically hard on the equipment, and security demands are through the roof. Satisfying all of these needs is rarely cheap and easy, but the Teltonika RUT956 makes a strong case to be your go-to router. This is an industrial router that combines cellular, Wi-Fi, and wired connectivity options with automatic WAN failover and GNSS capabilities. Serial communication interfaces enable integrating more varied devices into the solution ecosystem, while I/O and advanced RutOS software facilitate equipment control, automation, and event notifications. It is a FirstNet certified device.
This 4G/LTE and Wi-Fi cellular router takes reliability to a new level. The dual SIM design (universal) automatically switches between cards when a weak signal is detected, and it has a switching algorithm that helps reduce roaming costs. GNSS positioning provides GPS location capabilities and even supports geofencing. With multiple inputs and outputs designed specifically for remote monitoring, you can ensure that this router is performing to your expectations What is particularly promising about the RUT956 is security. It supports OpenVPN, IPsec, GRE, PPTP, L2TP, Stunnel, and SSTP for secure connections. Industry standards for Wi-Fi and LTE security are vigorously met. It comes with built-in DDOS prevention, VLAN separation, and flexible access control. While this router is managing your industrial network, you can trust that it provides every opportunity to protect your data.
On top of all of that, it’s also rugged. It operates flawlessly in extreme temperatures that range from far below freezing to far above the hottest natural temperatures on earth. It features surge protection and a DIN-rail mount so it’s safe from industrial hazards. This single device gives you powerful networking, industrial-grade security, and durable performance in a single, affordable package.
Enable your RUT956 with a cost-effective monthly data plan to ensure your router is ready to deploy. Select Verizon, T-Mobile, or AT&T, and the data plan size from 100 MB to Unlimited GB. You are billed monthly; there’s no long-term contract. Plus, manage all of your fielded gateways from a single cloud-based web portal.
You can purchase a SIM card from this page. It will be mailed to you in 2 to 3 business days. After you receive your card, sign up for a data plan at Mobility Help Desk. The set up instructions are on this page.
The RUT956 includes two LTE antennas for the Main and Aux connectors, two WiFi antennas, and a GPS antenna. For mobile and industrial applications, consider these high-performance antennas listed on these pages:
2-in-1 (MIMO LTE) combo antennas
3-in-1 (MIMO LTE and WiFi) combo antennas
4-in-1 (MIMO LTE and MIMO WiFi) combo antennas
5-in-1 (MIMO LTE, MIMO WiFi, GPS) combo antennas
The RUT956 satisfies your networking needs without breaking the bank. If you’d like to see that principle applied to all of your networking equipment, then spend a little time with one of our expert representatives. With a wide variety of hardware devices, we save you the monotony of browsing catalogs. We’ll strive to get a perfect equipment match to your requirements, every time.
