RUT956

Product Description

Check out our data plans here!

The Teltonika RUT956 is a rugged industrial LTE router built for deployments where reliability, remote management, and multi-interface connectivity matter more than consumer-grade speeds. With dual SIM automatic failover, a dedicated WAN input for wired ISP backup, four Ethernet ports, and DIN rail mounting for panel installations, the RUT956 is engineered for the environments that enterprise and industrial operations actually run in: utility substations, manufacturing floors, vending networks, remote monitoring infrastructure, and any application where connectivity needs to be self-managing and maintenance-free. Carrier certified for Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile with LTE band coverage across the full U.S. national network footprint, the RUT956 connects where it needs to connect and stays connected without requiring on-site intervention. Activate it with ISPTek’s cellular SIM card data plans for flexible, poolable data across your entire RUT956 deployment.

What It Does & Key Features:

• LTE CAT 4 with Full U.S. Band Coverage: Supports B2, B4, B5, B12, B13, B14, B66, and B71 — covering Verizon’s core LTE spectrum (B13), AT&T’s FirstNet Band 14, and T-Mobile’s 600 MHz low-band (B71) for reliable LTE connectivity across all three major carrier networks in the U.S.
• Dual Mini-SIM Slots with Automatic Failover: Two 2FF Mini-SIM slots with ICMP-based link monitoring — the RUT956 automatically switches to a backup SIM when the primary carrier loses connectivity, maintaining uptime without any manual intervention.
• Dedicated WAN Port for Wired ISP Backup: A physically separate WAN input allows connection of a wired ISP as a primary internet source, with the cellular SIM providing automatic failover — or reverse the role and run cellular as primary with wired as the backup path.
• Four Fast Ethernet Ports (1 WAN + 3 LAN): Four 10/100 Mbps RJ45 ports provide flexible wired connectivity for PLCs, HMIs, sensors, IP cameras, and downstream network equipment without requiring a separate switch in compact panel installations.
• DIN Rail & Wall Mounting: Purpose-built for panel installations — mounts directly to standard DIN rail for integration into electrical enclosures, equipment racks, and industrial control panels without requiring custom brackets or adapters.
• WiFi 4 (802.11b/g/n) 2.4 GHz Access Point: Integrated 2.4 GHz WiFi provides local wireless connectivity for maintenance laptops, tablets, and IoT devices at the installation site — useful for on-site diagnostics and local device configuration.
• Industrial Operating Range & Certifications: -40°C to +70°C operating temperature, C1D2 (Class 1 Division 2) hazardous location certification, and a wide DC input voltage range for reliable operation in environments where consumer and commercial electronics won’t survive.
• Remote Management & Protocol Support: Full SNMP v1/v2/v3, MQTT, Modbus TCP gateway, and RMS (Remote Management System) support — the RUT956 integrates into existing industrial monitoring and management infrastructure rather than requiring a parallel management system.

Works on Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile & All Major U.S. Carrier Networks:

The RUT956 North America variant (RUT956A00A00) carries official carrier certifications from all three major U.S. networks with band coverage specifically selected for the U.S. market, including FirstNet public safety spectrum.

• Verizon: Certified for Verizon’s network with Band 13 LTE — Verizon’s primary low-band LTE frequency for reliable wide-area coverage across suburban and rural deployments — ensuring the RUT956 stays connected at remote utility and infrastructure sites throughout Verizon’s network footprint.
• AT&T & FirstNet: Certified for AT&T with Band 14 FirstNet spectrum support, providing the RUT956 access to AT&T’s prioritized network for public safety and critical infrastructure applications where network congestion during peak events must not impact connectivity.
• T-Mobile: Band 71 (600 MHz) and Band 12 LTE give the RUT956 T-Mobile’s broad low-band coverage — critical for rural infrastructure deployments, agricultural monitoring, and remote sites where higher-frequency LTE bands don’t penetrate reliably.
• Core Mid-Band LTE: B2 and B4 AWS coverage across all three major carrier networks provides strong throughput in suburban and urban markets where higher-bandwidth LTE connectivity is available alongside the device’s dedicated low-band coverage.

Enhanced with ISPTek’s Cellular SIM Card Data Plans:

• Public Static IP Addresses: A fixed IP on the RUT956 enables direct remote access via SSH, SNMP polling, VPN tunnels, and SCADA system connections without dynamic DNS workarounds — essential for infrastructure monitoring and remote management at scale.
• Data Pooling Across Devices: Manage hundreds of RUT956 units across a utility network, vending deployment, or industrial IoT installation under a single ISPTek account with shared pooled data — one billing relationship regardless of deployment size.
• Over 12 Custom Plans: From very low-bandwidth telemetry plans for sensor networks transmitting small data packets, to higher-bandwidth plans for video surveillance and remote diagnostic tools, ISPTek has a plan calibrated to the actual data consumption of industrial deployments.
• No Activation or Cancellation Fees: Expand a sensor network by adding units when new infrastructure comes online, and retire units when assets are decommissioned — ISPTek’s per-unit flexibility eliminates the billing friction of scaling industrial IoT deployments up or down.
• Zero Touch Advanced Security: Network-level security applied at the SIM supplements the RUT956’s built-in firewall and VPN capabilities, providing defense-in-depth for connected industrial infrastructure that cannot be exposed to unauthorized access.

Who Benefits?

• Utility Companies & Smart Grid Operators: Electric, water, and gas utilities deploying smart meters, SCADA systems, and remote substation monitoring need LTE connectivity that self-manages, supports industrial protocols, and survives extreme temperature ranges — the RUT956 is purpose-built for this application stack.
• Manufacturing & Industrial Automation: Factory floors and production facilities connecting PLCs, sensors, and HMIs to centralized monitoring systems need industrial-grade routers that integrate into DIN rail panels and support Modbus TCP gateway functions alongside standard IP networking.
• Oil & Gas Remote Site Operations: Wellheads, pipeline monitoring stations, and remote pumping facilities in hazardous locations need the RUT956’s C1D2 certification and extreme temperature operating range — connectivity hardware that meets the same environmental standards as the rest of the equipment it serves.
• Vending, ATM & Kiosk Networks: Large-scale vending machine operators, ATM deployers, and self-service kiosk networks managing hundreds or thousands of connected units benefit from the RUT956’s reliable LTE connectivity, dual-SIM redundancy, and ISPTek’s data pooling across the entire device fleet.
• Agricultural IoT & Environmental Monitoring: Irrigation systems, weather stations, soil sensors, and livestock tracking networks operating across wide rural areas need low-bandwidth LTE connectivity that works reliably at the Band 71 and Band 12 frequencies that penetrate to remote agricultural land.
• Smart City Infrastructure: Traffic management systems, street lighting controls, parking sensors, and municipal monitoring infrastructure require industrial-grade LTE routers that survive outdoor temperature extremes, mount in equipment enclosures, and support remote management without on-site service calls.

The Teltonika RUT956 is not the router for high-bandwidth consumer applications — it’s the router for the industrial deployments where reliability over years of continuous operation, industrial protocol support, and self-managing connectivity are the deciding factors. With dual SIM automatic failover, wired WAN backup, DIN rail mounting, and carrier certifications on Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile, the RUT956 handles the connectivity requirements of real industrial infrastructure. Activate it with ISPTek’s cellular SIM card data plans for pooled data management across your full deployment — whether that’s 10 units or 10,000 — under a single account with no per-device activation fees.
