Description

The Teltonika RUT981 is an industrial 4G LTE Cat 4 router built for multi-country commercial and industrial deployments from a single global hardware SKU. Featuring an 18-band Telit LTE modem, dual physical SIM slots plus an integrated eSIM (with 10 MB Bootstrap profile pre-loaded), it delivers three-layer WAN failover and load balancing to keep critical connections live. Four RJ45 Ethernet ports, passive PoE input via LAN1, digital I/O, and a rugged aluminium enclosure rated IP30 and -40°C to +65°C make it well suited for retail, EV charging, kiosks, M2M, branch office, and industrial IoT applications across Europe, the Americas, Asia-Pacific and the Middle East.

Running Teltonika RutOS, the RUT981 supports Modbus, MQTT and SCADA protocols alongside full Teltonika RMS remote management — enabling centralised monitoring, configuration and firmware updates from a single dashboard. It holds CE, FCC, ISED, RCM, UKCA and UL/CSA Class I Division 2 hazardous location certifications, and ships with a PSU included. Backed by a 2-year manufacturer warranty.

FAQs

Q: Is the RUT981 truly a single global SKU, or do I need different models for different regions?
A: The RUT981 is a single global hardware SKU. Its Telit Cat 4 modem covers 18 LTE bands spanning Europe, the Americas (including US-specific Band 8 and B14), Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East, so one unit can be deployed or redeployed internationally without purchasing region-specific variants.

Q: How does the eSIM work on the RUT981?
A: The RUT981 includes an integrated eSIM with a pre-loaded 10 MB Bootstrap data profile. This allows the device to connect to a network on first setup without requiring a physical SIM card, enabling remote eSIM profile download and provisioning — ideal for large-scale or remote deployments where inserting a SIM on-site is impractical.

Q: What WAN failover capabilities does the RUT981 support?
A: The RUT981 supports three-layer WAN failover and load balancing across its dual physical SIM slots and integrated eSIM. Automatic SIM switching rules can be configured based on signal quality, data usage thresholds, or network availability, ensuring continuous connectivity for business-critical applications.

Q: Is the RUT981 suitable for hazardous industrial environments?
A: Yes. The RUT981 holds UL/CSA Class I Division 2 hazardous location certification, operates across an extreme temperature range of -40°C to +65°C, and features a rugged IP30-rated aluminium enclosure. It is well suited for industrial automation, mining, oil and gas, and other demanding environments.

Q: What industrial protocols does the RUT981 support?
A: Running Teltonika RutOS, the RUT981 supports Modbus, MQTT, SCADA and other industrial protocols. It also features digital I/O for status signalling and integration with industrial automation systems, making it a capable gateway for IIoT and M2M applications.

Q: Can I buy the Teltonika RUT981 in Australia, and what support is available?
A: Yes. The RUT981 is available through IP Trading Australia at iptrading.com.au, your local source for enterprise-grade networking solutions. It comes with a 2-year manufacturer warranty and is compatible with Teltonika RMS for centralised remote management, reducing the need for on-site technical visits.
