Teltonika RUTM20 Compact 5G Routers

Teltonika RUTM20 Compact 5G Routers are ultra‑compact 5G routers engineered for Internet of Things (IoT) and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) applications where space, efficiency, and reliable high‑speed connectivity are critical. Designed around a global Telit 5G Sub‑6GHz modem, the Teltonika RUTM20 routers support download speeds up to 2.5/3.4Gbps and upload speeds up to 900/550Mbps, with fallback to LTE Cat 19 and 3G networks for broader compatibility. The compact footprint makes these routers ideal for deployments in Point-of-Sale (POS) systems, surveillance setups, transportation, and other installations where space is limited.

The RUTM20 routers integrate dual SIM slots alongside an embedded eSIM, enabling automatic failover and remote carrier switching to maintain uninterrupted service. Streamlined installation is supported through active PoE (in/out), allowing both power and data to run through a single cable. Additional features include 802.11b/g/n/ac Wave 2 Wi‑Fi® with dual-band MU‑MIMO, extensive security options, multiple PDN support, advanced band management, SMS/USSD handling, framed routing, and compatibility with Teltonika’s Remote Management System (RMS) for simplified monitoring and configuration. Altogether, the RUTM20 delivers robust 5G performance, flexible power and connectivity options, and carrier‑agnostic resilience in a small industrial‑grade form factor.
