Introducing IP67 Outdoor Antennas: Ultimate Outdoor Coverage
#2024, #launch, #antennas
Teltonika is proud to introduce its new product line of omnidirectional outdoor antennas, encased in IP67 housing and designed to be the perfect match for select Teltonika routers deployed in industrial IoT solutions outdoors. In this article, we go over the key features and specifications of these new accessories.

Though it rarely gets the attention it deserves, the accessories section of Teltonika’s networking products portfolio is the very definition of robust. Included in it are region-specific power supplies, diverse mounting kits and connectors, and among other equipment—antennas.
Ranging from simple mobile and Wi-Fi antennas to 5G antennas with MIMO capabilities, antennas offered by Teltonika help enhance wireless signals and enable industrial IoT solutions unfortunate enough to be deployed in poor coverage areas.
Today, we’d like to introduce you to a very significant addition to this product line: omnidirectional outdoor antennas tailor-made to house select Teltonika routers.
The Perfect Match for Teltonika Cellular Routers

Beyond providing industrial-grade signal-enhancing capabilities, these antennas had an additional goal to achieve during their design process.
Special care was given to their compatibility with specific cellular routers in our portfolio. This was meant to make deployment easier and ensure a seamless, optimised fit between antenna and router.
Specifically, the four antennas are:
- Antenna for the RUTX50 and RUTM50
- Antenna for RUT2-series routers
- Antenna for RUT9-series router
- Antenna for the RUTX11 and RUTM11
As part of this integration, the antennas require no power and the above routers can be powered via a passive PoE injector. Please note that such injector is sold separately.
Optimised fit has one more trick up its sleeve: integrated mounting bracket for wall, ceiling, pole, or mast mounting for quick and easy deployment.
IP67: No Water, No Dust

Proudly encasing these antennas is IP67 housing, featuring operating temperatures ranging from -40 °C to 75 °C and ensuring ample protection against water immersion up to one metre in depth, and no ingress of dust.
In practice, this means that these products are well-suited for industrial IoT solutions in environments sporting sandstorms and heavy rain.
For example, these outdoor antennas are perfect for solar farms, CCTV video surveillance solutions, public Wi-Fi hotspots, mining and construction sites, camping and RV Internet, unmanaged surface vehicles, and the list goes on and on.
No matter if installed in arid desert environments of Australia and the Middle East, the monsoon season of India, or the evergreen rainy conditions of cities like Seatle and Bergen, these antennas help ensure uninterrupted wireless connectivity and maximum protection of the cellular router housed inside.
Signal, Coverage & Connectivity

On average, these outdoor antennas strengthen signal range by up to 20 times that of a standard antenna. For example, their mobile connection range can, under ideal weather conditions, reach 5-8 km.
Although they may appear similar on the surface, these four antennas differ in the cellular routers they were designed to house, the number of SMA male connectors they feature, and the communication technologies they support.
First, the antenna designed to house the RUTX50 and RUTM50 5G routers supports 5G/4G, Wi-Fi, and GNSS communication, and is equipped with seven connectors: four for mobile, two for Wi-Fi, and one for GNSS.
Second, the antenna designed to house RUT2-series routers, including the RUT200, RUT240, RUT241, and RUT260, supports 4G and Wi-Fi communication. It comes with three connectors: two for mobile and one for Wi-Fi.
Third, the antenna designed to house RUT9-series routers, including the RUT901, RUT906, RUT951, RUT955, and RUT956, supports 4G, GNSS, and Wi-Fi communication. This antenna features five connectors: two for mobile, two for Wi-Fi, and one for GNSS.
Lastly, the antenna designed to house the RUTX11 and RUTM11 routers, supporting 4G, GNSS, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth communication. It is equipped with six connectors: two for mobile, two for Wi-Fi, one for GNSS, and one for Bluetooth. Please note that as the RUTM11 does not support Bluetooth, the Bluetooth capabilities of this antenna are only relevant to the RUTX11.
Get the Signal—Be the Judge
We are confident in the signal-enhancing capabilities of our outdoor routers, and even more so in their perfect fit with the aforementioned cellular routers.
The real test, however, is seamless integration in your industrial IoT solutions, with you as the judge. We encourage you to reach out to your sales representative or click below to contact us, and get yourself a sample or two! Once you see their signals for yourself, you won’t be disappointed.
