FAQs
for RUT976 5G RedCap Router
The RUT976 utilizes 3GPP Release 17-based 5G RedCap (Reduced Capability) technology, which has been specifically designed for industrial and IoT applications. Unlike full-feature 5G modules, RedCap offers lower modem complexity, reduced power consumption, narrower bandwidth (e.g., up to 20MHz) and lower cost – while still delivering stable data transmission and network latency below 10ms. This makes the RUT976 ideal for applications where compact size as well as energy and cost efficiency are essential requirements.
Yes, the RUT976 supports dual-mode operation with both 5G NR (NSA) and LTE Cat 4 as fallback. This ensures reliable connectivity even in areas where 5G coverage is not yet available. The handover between the network types works automatically and seamlessly.
3G is not supported, which aligns with the sunset of 3G networks across many regions.
The RUT976 features two SMA connectors for LTE/5G (Main and Aux for MIMO), one RP-SMA for Wi-Fi and an optional SMA for GNSS. The use of external antennas allows flexible installations for optimized signal reception and transmission in various environments, for embedded as well as for outdoor applications. The MIMO technology enables higher data throughput and signal reliability.
The RUT976, based on 5G RedCap (Reduced Capability), delivers typical downlink speeds of up to 226Mbps and uplink speeds up to 121Mbps under optimum conditions. Even though these values are lower than those of full-featured 5G routers (which can reach Gigabit values), the throughput is more than sufficient for most IoT and M2M applications. This performance-to-cost ratio makes the RUT976 an ideal solution for applications requiring reliable broadband data transfer without the oversizing of full-featured high-speed 5G NR communication schemes.Form
The RUT976 offers a robust security framework, including a configurable firewall (with IP, port and MAC filtering), support for multiple VPN protocols (OpenVPN, IPsec, WireGuard, PPTP, L2TP), TLS certificate management and SSH access. Additionally, VLAN and QoS functionalities allow for traffic segmentation and prioritization – which are essential features in industrial applications with strict security requirements.
The RUT976 router is equipped with four 10/100Mbps Ethernet ports (3x LAN and 1x WAN), several digital inputs and outputs, a USB port for service and configuration purposes, various status LEDs and two SIM slots. One RS232 and one RS485 serial interface are available as well. The I/Os enable the integration of sensors or the activation of remote devices like relays.
Yes, the RUT976 is fully integrated in Teltonika’s Remote Management System (RMS), allowing remote monitoring, firmware updates, VPN configuration, event alerts and access to LAN connected devices. This reduces service and maintenance costs significantly and improves system uptime in distributed IoT deployments.
Due to its compact size, energy efficiency and cost-optimized 5G RedCap architecture, the RUT976 is ideally suited for M2M and IoT applications such as EV charging stations, smart metering, traffic control systems, security infrastructure, remote maintenance and industrial automation. Its wide operating temperature range (-40 °C to +75 °C) and EMC certifications make it suitable for demanding environments.
