Teltonika RUT950 4G LTE Industrial Router
The Teltonika RUT950 is an industrial 4G LTE cellular router designed for reliable primary or backup internet connectivity in industrial, business, IoT, automation, transportation, and remote-site environments. It combines 4G LTE Cat 4, dual SIM, four Ethernet ports, Wi-Fi, WAN failover, VPN, VLAN, QoS, industrial I/O, and remote management in a compact rugged enclosure.
The RUT950 supports 4G/LTE Cat 4, 3G, and 2G connectivity and can provide LTE download speeds of up to 150 Mbps under suitable network conditions. Its dual-SIM architecture and multiple WAN options allow it to be configured for connectivity redundancy and automatic failover.
4G LTE Cat 4 Connectivity
The RUT950 uses a 4G LTE Cat 4 cellular modem with theoretical download speeds of up to 150 Mbps. It also supports 3G and 2G networks, subject to the particular hardware version, supported frequency bands, and mobile operator availability.
Cellular monitoring provides information such as signal strength, SINR, RSRP, RSRQ, connected band, IMSI, ICCID, and data usage. Band management and band-lock functionality can also be used where supported by the installed firmware.
Dual SIM and Automatic Failover
The router has two Mini SIM (2FF) slots and supports automatic SIM switching. Configurable switching conditions include weak signal, data limits, SMS limits, roaming, unavailable network, network denial, and failed data connection.
This makes the RUT950 suitable for installations where maintaining connectivity is important. Two SIM cards can be used from the same or different mobile operators, depending on the required redundancy strategy and carrier availability.
Four Ethernet Ports
The RUT950 provides four 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports. One port operates as WAN and can be configured as LAN, while the remaining three are LAN ports. The Ethernet interfaces support VLAN functionality and can be used to connect computers, switches, industrial controllers, surveillance systems, access points, and other network equipment.
Wi-Fi Connectivity
The router supports IEEE 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi with Access Point and Station modes. It can provide wireless connectivity for local users and connected devices, while its hotspot functionality supports applications requiring controlled wireless access. Teltonika specifies support for up to 100 simultaneous Wi-Fi connections.
Wireless features include SSID management, MAC-based access control, client separation, WPA/WPA2-related security options, and hotspot functionality with supported authentication options.
WAN Failover and Network Backup
The RUT950 can use mobile, wired, and Wi-Fi WAN connections as primary or backup paths. Its automatic failover functionality can switch to an available backup connection when the active connection becomes unavailable. Load-balancing functionality is also available for supported configurations.
This makes the router useful as a primary internet gateway or as a cellular backup router for offices, industrial facilities, remote monitoring systems, and branch locations.

The detailed Teltonika datasheet specifies 128 MB DDR2 RAM, 16 MB flash, four 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports, dual SIM, 9–30 VDC input, passive PoE over spare pairs, -40°C to 75°C operating temperature, IP30 protection, and DIN-rail or flat-surface mounting.
Routing and Network Features
The RUT950 runs RutOS, Teltonika's OpenWrt-based Linux operating system. Its networking features include static and dynamic routing, BGP, OSPF v2, RIP v1/v2, NHRP, VLAN, DHCP, IPv4/IPv6, QoS, load balancing, DDNS, VRRP, traffic rules, port forwarding, and connection monitoring.
These capabilities allow the RUT950 to be integrated into more advanced business and industrial networks rather than being limited to basic cellular internet sharing.
VPN and Security
The RUT950 supports multiple VPN and tunneling technologies, including OpenVPN, IPsec, GRE, PPTP, L2TP, Stunnel, DMVPN, and SSTP, according to Teltonika's product documentation.
Security features include firewall rules, NAT, NAT-T, DMZ, VLAN separation, access control, MAC filtering, web filtering, mobile quota control, and protection against several common network attacks.
Industrial I/O
The RUT950 provides one digital input and one digital open-collector output. The digital input detects 0–6 V as logic low and 8–30 V as logic high, while the output supports up to 30 V and 300 mA. These interfaces can be used for suitable industrial monitoring and automation scenarios.
The I/O interfaces can also be integrated with event-based functions so that specified conditions can trigger actions or notifications through supported services.
Remote Management with RMS
The RUT950 is compatible with the Teltonika Remote Management System (RMS). RMS support can simplify centralized monitoring, firmware management, configuration, and remote administration of deployed Teltonika devices.
This is particularly useful for organizations managing routers installed across multiple branches, industrial sites, remote equipment locations, or geographically distributed IoT deployments.
Industrial Design and Installation
The RUT950 uses an aluminum housing with plastic panels and supports DIN-rail mounting as well as flat-surface placement. Its operating temperature range of -40°C to 75°C makes it suitable for demanding professional environments.
The router accepts 9–30 VDC input and includes reverse-polarity and surge protection. The datasheet also specifies passive PoE power over spare pairs through LAN1 using Mode B. This passive PoE implementation is not compatible with IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, or 802.3bt PoE standards.

Compatibility and Installation Considerations
Before deployment, verify that the exact RUT950 hardware/order-code version supports the cellular bands required by the intended mobile operator. Teltonika notes that different product codes can represent different versions of the overall product, including differences in LTE-band support, accessories, and firmware.
The router requires Mini SIM cards and suitable LTE/Wi-Fi antennas. The standard package historically included two LTE antennas, two Wi-Fi antennas, a power supply, Ethernet cable, and SIM adapter kit, although package contents can vary by sales channel or product revision.
For industrial installations, provide an appropriate 9–30 VDC supply, install the router in a suitable enclosure or DIN-rail environment, and position the cellular antennas where adequate signal quality is available.
