Real-time monitoring with Impulse Counter
The new Impulse Counter feature offers a straightforward way to track and log changes on selected input pins. By displaying the current count and maintaining a history of activity, it enables real-time monitoring of input signals with ease. Imagine using it to monitor the opening and closing of a factory gate. Each movement is logged as an impulse, providing a clear record of usage over time. This feature is ideal for scenarios where tracking physical actions or signal changes is critical to your IoT solutions.
Seamless NMEA data transmission via serial
Sending NMEA data via the serial interface just got easier with this new feature, made to perfect your IoT solutions.
Ideal for applications like GPS data transmission or marine equipment integration, it ensures seamless communication between devices.
Whether navigating complex systems or simply enhancing connectivity, this functionality adds a layer of versatility.
Stay informed with Modbus Update
Never miss a critical moment with the latest Modbus Update. It introduces your IoT solutions to email alarm notifications, ensuring you’re instantly alerted to any issues or events in your system. Whether managing industrial processes or monitoring IoT devices, this enhancement keeps you connected and in control.
Expanding possibilities with Bluetooth Update
Enhance your monitoring capabilities with the latest Bluetooth update, now supporting a range of Teltonika EYE sensors, including BTSMP183CB02, BTSMP1ASCB02, and BTSID1EXCB02, as well as the ELA Blue PUCK DI. This update allows seamless integration to advanced sensors for diverse IoT solutions. From tracking environmental data to monitoring assets, Bluetooth connectivity just became even more versatile.
Hotspot updates for smarter connectivity
Hotspot functionality just got a boost with two exciting updates. The new SMS OTP with MAC authentication enhances security by adding an extra layer of verification for connected devices. Additionally, default DOH/DOT domains can now be added to the blocklist, giving you greater control over network traffic and ensuring a safer browsing experience for all users.
Simplifying connections with WireGuard QR codes
Generating WireGuard QR codes takes the hassle out of setting up secure connections. This new feature allows you to create a QR code for a WireGuard tunnel, which can be scanned directly with the WireGuard mobile app. It’s a fast, intuitive way to connect devices securely without the need for manual configuration.
UI/UX updates: crafted for ease & precision
Take control with the Network Devices page
Network engineers can now enjoy greater oversight and control with the new Network Devices page for IoT solutions with RUTM-series devices. This addition provides a centralised interface to view and configure internal router options, streamlining the process for those managing complex networking setups. It’s a powerful tool designed to meet the needs of professionals seeking precision and efficiency.
A fresh look for OpenVPN management
Managing OpenVPN tunnels is now more intuitive than ever. With a complete redesign of the OpenVPN WebUI page, we’ve streamlined the entire process of creating and managing tunnels. This update enhances both design and functionality, ensuring a smoother and more efficient user experience for secure network configurations.
Enhanced SIM switch package support for eSIM™
Switching between SIMs just got more seamless with an updated design for the SIM switch package page. This enhancement simplifies navigation and improves clarity, making it easier to manage eSIM™ configurations efficiently on mobile devices, essential for cutting-edge IoT solutions.
Streamlined page updates for a seamless experience
Bringing functionality and finesse to the forefront, we’ve also given the Events Log page a fresh design, improving clarity and making navigation effortless.
On top of that, the Relay page has been revamped based on your suggestions, with added validations and options to simplify configuration. These changes are designed to make your workflow smoother and more user-friendly.
Fortifying your network: security enhancements
Expanding security with 802.1X server support
802.1X server support brings advanced authentication capabilities to your networking solutions. Acting as an authentication server, it enables devices to validate the identity of clients connecting to a network.
This ensures that only authorised devices or users can gain access, significantly enhancing security for sensitive environments.
Now supporting even more products, including RUTM-series routers and single-port devices like TRB2 and TRB1-series, this feature provides an additional layer of control, particularly useful for managing access in industrial settings.
By integrating this functionality, your devices become more secure and better equipped to handle modern networking demands.
Customising password strength for added security
Strengthen your system’s defences with configurable password requirements. This new feature lets you tailor login credentials by setting rules for symbol count, numbers, special characters, and more. It’s a flexible way to enforce stronger passwords and enhance overall security.
Embedded kernel updates for enhanced performance
Staying at the forefront of reliability and functionality often begins at the core – literally. We’ve updated the kernel versions across a wide range of devices to ensure better performance, security, and compatibility with the latest technologies.
TRB1 and TRB2-series devices, along with the RUT300, RUT360, and TCR100, now run on kernel version 5.4.284. For RUTX and RUTM-series devices, as well as the OTD500 and TAP200, the kernel has been upgraded to version 5.10.226, offering improved stability and support for advanced features.
Meanwhile, TRB2, RUT2, RUT0, RUT9-series along with the RUTC50, RUT301, RUT361, OTD140, and TAP100, are now powered by kernel version 5.15.167. This version brings cutting-edge improvements and ensures devices are ready to handle even the most demanding IoT solutions.
Addressing vulnerabilities with the latest CVE update
Security is a cornerstone of reliable networking, and staying ahead of potential threats is critical. In this update, we’ve addressed vulnerability CVE-2024-44997 specifically for the RUTC50 5G router. This fix enhances the security framework, ensuring your IoT solutions are protected against known vulnerabilities.
Taking control with RMS updates
Manage your fleet with RMS over your proxy server
Managing your Teltonika devices through our Remote Management System (RMS) has never been more accessible, thanks to a new update that enables RMS Management connections via proxy servers. This enhancement is crucial in situations where certain countries or operators block traffic using non-standard protocols or ports. By allowing traffic to be hidden or redirected through a proxy server, users can now manage their devices seamlessly in regions where it was previously impossible.
Introducing zero touch deployment
Zero touch deployment opens up even more possibilities for efficiency and convenience in remote device management. At the core of this update are action tags – a functionality that allows tasks to be quickly and easily assigned to a large number of devices.
This innovation is especially valuable if you’re managing extensive fleets, as it significantly simplifies operations and enhances the RMS experience.
Previously, minimal functionality meant devices needed to connect to the system to receive instructions. Now, with action tags, tasks can be assigned even before a device is connected to RMS. For instance, imagine an engineer arriving at a remote site, connecting the device, and leaving without needing to configure anything on-site.
Thanks to RMS action tags, all tasks and configurations are pre-assigned through the system. Once the device gains Internet access, RMS automatically applies the settings, ensuring it’s ready to operate without additional intervention. This streamlined process saves time, reduces errors, and simplifies deployments, making it ideal for managing your large-fleet IoT solutions efficiently.
