Description

The RUT986 is a globally certified industrial LTE Cat 4 router built for SCADA, energy, utilities, and industrial IoT deployments across Australia and worldwide. Powered by a Telit modem covering 18 LTE bands — including Band 28 (APT 700) for Australian carrier compatibility — it delivers 150 Mbps download and 50 Mbps upload with automatic 3G/2G fallback. Dual physical SIM slots plus an integrated eSIM with up to 7 profiles enable seamless WAN failover and load balancing, while a comprehensive I/O suite including RS232, RS485, GNSS, digital/analog inputs, and a Micro SD slot makes it a complete edge connectivity platform.

The RUT986 supports industrial protocols including Modbus TCP/RTU, DNP3, OPC UA, BACnet, and DLMS/COSEM, alongside a full VPN suite (OpenVPN, WireGuard, IPsec) and zero-touch provisioning via Teltonika RMS. Its IP30-rated aluminium enclosure operates from -40°C to +65°C and supports DIN rail, wall, or flat surface mounting — suited to harsh field environments. CE, UKCA, FCC, and ISED certified. Backed by a 2-year manufacturer warranty.

FAQs

Q: Is the RUT986 compatible with Australian 4G networks including Telstra and Optus?
A: Yes. The RUT986 supports Band 28 (APT 700 MHz), which is the primary regional coverage band used by Telstra, Optus, and Vodafone in Australia. It covers 18 LTE bands in total, making it one of the most broadly compatible industrial routers available for Australian deployments.

Q: What industrial protocols does the RUT986 support?
A: The RUT986 supports Modbus TCP and RTU, DNP3, OPC UA, BACnet, and DLMS/COSEM out of the box via RutOS. It can also function as a Modbus gateway over RS232/RS485, making it well-suited for SCADA, energy metering, and industrial automation systems.

Q: How does the dual SIM and eSIM failover work?
A: The RUT986 has two physical Mini SIM slots and an integrated eSIM supporting up to 7 carrier profiles. RutOS automatically switches between SIM options based on connectivity health, signal strength, or data quotas. This provides highly resilient WAN connectivity without manual intervention — critical for remote or unattended deployments.

Q: Can the RUT986 be managed remotely at scale?
A: Yes. The RUT986 integrates with Teltonika RMS (Remote Management System), which supports zero-touch provisioning, remote configuration, firmware updates, eSIM profile management, and real-time monitoring across large device fleets — ideal for utilities, energy, and IoT infrastructure operators.

Q: What are the environmental and mounting options for the RUT986?
A: The RUT986 operates across -40°C to +65°C in an IP30-rated aluminium enclosure. It supports DIN rail, wall mount, and flat surface mounting, making it suitable for switchboards, control panels, and field enclosures in industrial and outdoor cabinet deployments.
