Next Generation Industrial Connectivity: Stability and Performance at Your Fingertips Are you looking for a way to have a stable and fast connection in demanding industrial conditions, but without having to invest in the most expensive 5G solutions? Imagine a device that combines the low latency benefits of 5G with the affordability and flexibility your business needs. Add to this reliability thanks to dual SIM cards, a multitude of interfaces for integration with existing infrastructure, and you have a recipe for communication success. Introduction to Flexible Industrial Connectivity Teltonika RUT976 is an industrial cellular router designed with professional applications in mind. It uses 5G RedCap technology, positioning itself between traditional 4G solutions and full-fledged 5G. Thanks to this, it offers a balanced approach that allows you to take advantage of the key advantages of fifth generation networks, such as responsiveness, while maintaining control over implementation costs. The compact and durable housing makes the device work well in difficult conditions typical of industrial environments, offering a stable connection where it is needed most. Benefits of 5G RedCap Technology What exactly does 5G RedCap (Reduced Capability), also known as NR-Light, mean? This is a standard created to fill the technological and cost gap. RUT976, thanks to support for this technology (in SA - Standalone architecture), offers low delays typical of 5G networks, which is crucial in applications requiring quick response, e.g. in industrial automation or remote control. At the same time, by reducing complexity compared to full 5G, this technology becomes more affordable and better suited to many IoT (Internet of Things) applications where not only speed but also cost effectiveness are important. RUT976 enables wireless operation of up to 100 end devices. Reliable Connection in All Conditions Business continuity is essential in professional applications. Teltonika RUT976 takes care of it in several ways. Firstly, it is equipped with two SIM card slots (Dual SIM) with automatic failover function. If one operator fails or loses coverage, the router will automatically switch to the other card, minimizing the risk of downtime. Additionally, the WAN failover function allows you to configure a backup Internet source (e.g. cable connection) to which the device will switch in the event of problems with the cellular network. Importantly, if 5G coverage is limited, RUT976 is backwards compatible with proven 4G LTE Category 4 technology, expanding its use in various locations. Versatile Interfaces and Functionalities The RUT976 router is a real communication center thanks to a rich set of ports and interfaces. Here you will find: 4 Fast Ethernet ports (10/100 Mbps), which can be flexibly configured, including the use of VLAN functionality for network segmentation. Serial interfaces: RS232 and RS485, necessary for communication with older industrial machines, PLC controllers or sensors. Configurable I/O connector block (inputs/outputs) for monitoring events (e.g. opening a cabinet door) or remote control of simple devices. WiFi module operating as a wireless access point (Access Point) with hotspot function. Built-in GNSS receiver (GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo, QZSS) providing precise location data and enabling time synchronization (NTRIP support). Advanced Management and Industrial Protocols The heart of the router is the RutOS operating system (based on OpenWrt), which offers wide possibilities of configuration and adaptation of the device to specific needs. RUT976 supports popular industrial protocols such as MQTT, BACnet and OPC UA, which facilitates integration into existing SCADA systems or IoT platforms. The device is fully compatible with the Teltonika Remote Management System (RMS). The RMS platform enables remote monitoring of a fleet of devices, mass configuration, software updates and diagnostics, which significantly simplifies the management of distributed network infrastructure and increases the level of security.
