#2025, #launch, #5g, #4g
Imagine a world where connectivity is not a concern, but a certainty. A world where your devices, your operations, and your critical systems remain online, always. At Teltonika, we don't just imagine this world; we create the solutions to make it a reality. Today, we're thrilled to introduce the RUTM56, a dual modem router that bridges the current and future needs of cellular connectivity like no other.
Addressing the connectivity crossroads
We're at a pivotal moment in connectivity, marked by both exciting advancements and complex transitions. The rollout of 5G network promises lightning-fast speeds and unprecedented capacity, unlocking a new era of innovation.
Yet, the reality is that legacy networks still play a crucial role, especially for mission-critical applications and widespread IoT projects. The 3G sunset is also accelerating this transition, leaving many businesses searching for reliable fallback options.
However, the 3G sunset is not a uniform global event. Its progress and impact vary significantly by region. In North America, for example, many operators have already shut down their 3G networks to free up spectrum for 4G and 5G.
In other regions, 3G networks may persist for several more years, providing essential connectivity in areas where newer technologies are not yet fully deployed.
Beyond the 3G sunset, the enduring significance of 2G, especially for IoT and M2M, cannot be overlooked.
As highlighted in research from OpenSignal, its longevity, broad coverage, and superior signal penetration make it ideal for devices transmitting small data packets, such as sensors, meters, and tracking devices. In numerous regions, 2G remains heavily relied upon, its infrastructure vital for many industries.
This complex and evolving landscape inspired the RUTM56 dual modem router. We identified a market gap: businesses needing future-proof solutions without sacrificing the reliability of proven technologies.
While some providers offer fragmented solutions, we deliver a single, comprehensive, out-of-the-box product that seamlessly bridges the connectivity needs from 2G all the way through 5G technologies.

Dual modem resilience for critical operations
The RUTM56 dual modem router is designed for mission-critical applications that demand the highest levels of reliability and performance. Let's explore some use cases that highlight the RUTM56 IoT router's capabilities.
Emergency responder communication
In disaster scenarios, reliable communication is paramount. The RUTM56 cellular router can be deployed in mobile command centres or vehicles to provide a resilient communication network for first responders.
Its 5G connectivity enables high-bandwidth applications like video streaming for situational awareness, while its fallback to 4G, 3G, or even 2G ensures that communication remains available even when 5G coverage is limited or compromised.
This ensures that emergency services can coordinate effectively, access critical data, and maintain communication with remote teams, even in the most challenging conditions.
Critical infrastructure monitoring
Industries like oil and gas, utilities, and transportation rely on continuous monitoring of critical infrastructure.
The RUTM56 dual modem router can be deployed to connect remote sensors, monitor equipment performance, and transmit data to control centres.
In remote pipelines, power grids, or railway networks, the RUTM56 IoT router's ability to fall back to 2G ensures that essential data is transmitted even in areas with limited coverage.
This enables proactive maintenance, prevents disruptions, and ensures the safe and efficient operation of critical infrastructure.
Marine Connectivity
The maritime environment presents unique connectivity challenges. Cellular internet access near the coast can be highly variable. Coverage and speeds there fluctuate significantly. Vessels might have high-speed 5G one moment, then be limited to 2G the next.
The RUTM56 dual modem router is engineered to address these dynamic conditions. It provides the reliable connectivity essential for a range of marine applications.
This includes supporting seamless communication and data transfer for efficient port operations. It also enables reliable data transmission for surveillance, monitoring, and communication systems critical for coastal protection.
Furthermore, it provides robust connectivity for passengers and crew on leisure craft, enhancing navigation, communication, and onboard entertainment.
The RUTM56’s ability to seamlessly switch between 5G, 4G, 3G, and 2G ensures the continuous connectivity that's crucial for maintaining operational efficiency and ensuring safety in the ever-changing maritime environment.
Smart Farming
Modern agriculture is increasingly reliant on smart devices and sensors to optimize farm management. These tools require reliable internet connectivity to function effectively. Furthermore, precision farming techniques depend on technologies like NTRIP and RTK for precise coordinate correction.
However, rural agricultural settings often present connectivity challenges. 5G availability isn't guaranteed, and overall internet access can be limited or inconsistent.
The RUTM56 dual SIM router meets the demanding connectivity needs. It supports the connection of sensors and smart farming equipment for efficient data collection and monitoring.
Additionally, it facilitates the use of NTRIP and RTK correction data transmission for accurate positioning in precision agriculture. It also functions as a reliable backup internet in rural areas where primary connectivity is limited or intermittent.
By ensuring that farming operations remain connected, even in remote locations, the RUTM56 helps to maintain productivity and efficiency. Its ability to fall back to 2G provides a vital backup, guaranteeing that essential data transmission and critical operations continue uninterrupted.
