Buy Teltonika RUT976 RedCap 5G Industrial Router with GPS in Nairobi, Kenya
The RUT976 is an industrial Redcap 5G router supporting SA architecture, carving a balanced niche between traditional 4G and full-capacity 5G. This 5G router can wirelessly support up to 100 end devices and features the low latency of 5G—at affordable pricing. In case of limited 5G coverage, the RUT976 is backward compatible with 4G LTE Cat 4. It also boasts dual SIM slots with auto-failover, Wi-Fi, GNSS, a wide range of interfaces, including four 10/100 RJ45 slots, RS232, RS485, and multiple I/Os, and numerous other brilliant features for expert professional deployment
Next-Generation Industrial Connectivity: Stability and Performance at Your Fingertips
Looking for a way to have a stable and fast connection in demanding industrial environments, but without investing in the most expensive 5G solutions? Imagine a device that combines the low latency advantages known from 5G with the affordability and flexibility your business needs. Add to that reliability with dual SIM cards, a multitude of interfaces to integrate with existing infrastructure and you have a recipe for communications success.
Introduction to Flexible Industrial Connectivity
Teltonika RUT976 is an industrial cellular router designed for professional applications. It uses 5G RedCap technology, positioning itself between traditional 4G solutions and full-fledged 5G. As a result, it offers a balanced approach that enables you to take advantage of key fifth-generation network advantages, such as responsiveness, while keeping deployment costs under control. With a compact and ruggedized chassis, the device excels in the harsh conditions typical of industrial environments, offering stable connectivity where it is needed most.
Benefits of RedCap’s 5G Technology
What exactly does 5G RedCap (Reduced Capability), also known as NR-Light, mean? It’s a standard created to bridge the technology and cost gap. The RUT976, by supporting this technology (in SA – Standalone architecture), offers the low latency inherent in 5G networks, which is crucial for applications that require fast response, such as industrial automation and remote control. At the same time, by reducing complexity compared to full 5G, the technology becomes more affordable and better suited to many IoT (Internet of Things) applications, where not only speed but also cost efficiency matters. The RUT976 enables wireless support for up to 100 end devices.
Reliability of Connection in Any Condition
Continuity of operation is fundamental in professional applications. The Teltonika RUT976 takes care of it in several ways. First, it features two SIM card slots (Dual SIM) with automatic failover. If one carrier fails or loses coverage, the router will automatically switch to the other card, minimizing the risk of downtime. In addition, the WAN failover feature allows you to set up a backup Internet source (such as a cable connection) to which the device will switch in case of problems with the mobile network. Importantly, if 5G coverage is limited, the RUT976 is backward-compatible with proven 4G LTE Category 4 technology, expanding its use in a variety of locations.
Comprehensive Interfaces and Functions
The RUT976 router is a real communication center thanks to its rich set of ports and interfaces. It features:
4 Fast Ethernet ports (10/100 Mbps), which can be configured flexibly, including using VLAN functionality for network segmentation.
Serial interfaces: RS232 and RS485, essential for communication with older industrial machines, PLCs or sensors.
Configurable I/O (input/output) connector block for monitoring events (e.g., cabinet door opening) or remote control of simple devices.
WiFi module acting 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
At the heart of the router is the RutOS operating system (based on OpenWrt), which offers extensive configuration options and customization of the device to meet specific needs. The RUT976 supports popular industrial protocols such as MQTT, BACnet and OPC UA, which facilitates integration within existing SCADA systems or IoT platforms. The device is fully compatible with Teltonika’s Remote Management System (RMS). The RMS platform enables remote monitoring of device fleets, mass configuration, software updates and diagnostics, significantly simplifying the management of distributed network infrastructure and increasing security.
