Compact 5G router for space-constrained installations
The Teltonika RUTM20 is a compact 5G router built for professional IoT and IIoT deployments where cellular connectivity, small footprint, and flexible powering need to come together in one device. It is designed for installations that require 5G in confined spaces, including POS systems, transport deployments, surveillance setups, and other compact network designs.
Global cellular connectivity with dual SIM and eSIM
The router uses a global 5G modem and supports 5G Sub-6 GHz in both SA and NSA operation, with additional 4G LTE and 3G support. Two Mini SIM slots and an integrated eSIM increase flexibility for carrier strategies, automatic SIM switching, and remote profile management. This makes the device well suited for distributed installations where uptime, operator flexibility, and reduced service effort matter.
PoE, Ethernet, and Wi-Fi for flexible network integration
The RUTM20 provides one Gigabit WAN port, one Gigabit LAN port, and dual-band Wi-Fi 5 for integration into existing infrastructures. Active PoE In and PoE Out support simplified deployments by combining power and data over the Ethernet cabling. This is especially useful in installations with limited space or restricted local power distribution.
RutOS platform for industrial networking and security
Running on RutOS, the RUTM20 offers a broad feature set for routing, firewalling, VLAN, hotspot, VPN, and remote management scenarios. Supported functions include load balancing, automatic failover, multiple VPN technologies, RMS-based remote management, and industrial or IoT-focused protocols such as MQTT, MODBUS TCP, OPC UA, BACnet, and DNP3. This allows the router to fit into both conventional IT networks and industrial communication environments.
Built for industrial deployment conditions
The device uses an anodized aluminium housing, operates in a temperature range from -40 °C to 75 °C, and supports DIN rail, wall, or flat-surface mounting with an additional kit. Its compact form factor supports installation in technically demanding environments where robust hardware and limited installation space need to be balanced.
