Industrial 4G and 5G routers pre-configured with KeySIM SIM cards and ready for deployment — supported by one consistent operating system across the entire range.
The Teltonika Platform
KeySIM provides the IoT SIM connectivity whilst Solwise supplies the Teltonika hardware. Solwise can supply routers fully configured and ready for deployment, including VPN settings, firewall rules, SIM switch rules, private IP configurations, Ping Reboot settings and customer-specific requirements.
One of the reasons we frequently recommend Teltonika equipment is the consistency of the platform. With the exception of the ALTOS range, all of the routers featured on this page run the same RutOS operating system.
Once an engineer becomes familiar with one Teltonika router, they are largely familiar with all of them. Whether managing a RUT200, RUT361, RUT901, RUTX12 or RUTX50, the menus, VPN functionality, firewall controls, remote access options, monitoring tools and recovery features remain remarkably consistent. This significantly reduces training requirements and makes managing large estates of devices much easier.
Solwise can also arrange for KeySIM IoT SIM cards to be pre-installed before dispatch, allowing equipment to arrive on site ready to connect.
Same interface, VPN, firewall and recovery tools across all RUT models.
APN settings, VPN profiles, firewall rules and SIM switch rules loaded before dispatch.
Remote control via SMS even when internet access has been lost.
Automatically reconnects the modem if connectivity monitoring detects a failure.
Remote Recovery
In our experience, many offline routers are not suffering from hardware faults or network outages. Instead, they have become inaccessible due to configuration changes. The ability to remotely recover a router via SMS can often prevent an expensive site visit.
SMS Commands via KeySIM
Teltonika routers can receive SMS commands provided the router retains GSM connectivity. This means that even if a device has lost internet access, it can often still be controlled remotely.
SMS is enabled by default across the KeySIM IoT SIM platform. Commands can be sent from the KeySIM management platform without needing a physical mobile handset.
Ping Reboot
The router continuously monitors connectivity by pinging a reliable destination such as Google's DNS servers. If connectivity is lost, the router can automatically restart the mobile connection or reboot the modem without any manual intervention.
This feature works exceptionally well with KeySIM's multi-network platform and network steering technology.
Network Steering Recovery
When KeySIM remotely steers a SIM to a different network, there is typically a short transition period. Teltonika's Ping Reboot is exceptionally effective at recognising this condition and rapidly reconnecting the modem.
To date, we are not aware of any customer using a Teltonika router with a KeySIM multi-network SIM requiring a site visit following a network steering event.
If there is one piece of advice we would give to organisations deploying Teltonika routers at scale, it is to maintain accurate asset records and password records from day one.
Without accurate records, customers often know which SIM card is generating traffic but have no simple way of identifying which physical router contains that SIM card. These records become even more critical if a router is factory reset.
Every Teltonika router ships with unique default administrative credentials. If a router is factory restored via SMS command, RMS, the local web interface, or through remote access, the device reverts to its original factory credentials. Without them, rebuilding the device can become significantly more difficult.
When Solwise supplies pre-configured routers, they can provide a deployment database containing:
In addition, the Teltonika serial number can be pre-populated within the KeySIM platform, making it easy to identify exactly which SIM card belongs to which physical router.
Secure Remote Access
All Teltonika routers support inbound remote connections and advanced firewall functionality. When combined with KeySIM's private fixed IP services and VPN connectivity, customers can create highly secure remote access environments.
Unlike public internet services, KeySIM private IP SIM cards are not directly accessible from the public internet. Before an engineer can communicate with a device, they must first authenticate using their KeySIM VPN credentials and establish a secure connection into the private network. Teltonika firewall and port forwarding rules then provide access to equipment connected behind the router.
Devices commonly accessed remotely:
Converting a WAN Port to LAN
Many Teltonika routers include dedicated WAN and LAN ports. One feature that is often overlooked is that the WAN port can frequently be converted into an additional LAN port.
This is particularly useful when the router is using cellular connectivity as its primary connection and therefore does not require a wired WAN. For example, a router with 1 WAN and 3 LAN ports can often become a 4-port LAN router — removing the need for an additional network switch.
Dual SIM vs Dual Modem
Many customers assume dual SIM means dual connectivity. In reality, most dual-SIM routers contain only a single cellular modem — meaning only one SIM can be active at any given time, with SIM switch rules determining when to move between slots.
The RUTX12 is the exception: it contains two independent cellular modems, allowing two mobile connections to be active simultaneously. This makes it particularly attractive for high-availability networking and Bondix deployments.
Router Models
The RUT200 is the most popular router used by KeySIM customers and, by a considerable margin, the model we see deployed most frequently alongside our IoT SIM cards. Based on hundreds of deployments, fewer than 1% of cases arise where a RUT200 is not adequate.
Ideally suited to telemetry, CCTV, EV charging, digital signage, monitoring systems, PLCs and industrial control applications.
Crystal Clear Media deploys RUT200 routers at scale to connect digital advertising screens across the UK.
The natural upgrade path from the RUT200. The Cat 6 modem with Carrier Aggregation technology allows it to utilise multiple LTE frequency bands simultaneously, achieving higher throughput in busy environments.
For customers experiencing network congestion or requiring additional bandwidth, the RUT361 is often the ideal upgrade.
CSC Security Consultants, one of Ireland's largest security companies, deploys the RUT361 extensively across its security infrastructure.
An excellent option when additional Ethernet connectivity is required. The RUT901 combines a Cat 4 LTE modem with four Ethernet ports and dual-SIM capability — while remaining a single-modem router.
For customers requiring multiple local wired devices without adding additional network switches, the RUT901 is often an excellent choice.
One of the most capable industrial routers in the Teltonika range. Unlike most dual-SIM routers, the RUTX12 contains two independent Cat 6 modems, allowing simultaneous connections to two mobile networks.
This makes it particularly attractive for Bondix deployments, high-availability networking and critical infrastructure where downtime is unacceptable.
Teltonika's flagship industrial 5G router. Featuring 5G connectivity, advanced Wi-Fi and powerful processing hardware, it is designed for customers requiring maximum throughput.
Best viewed as a premium performance router rather than a typical IoT router — ideal where throughput demands exceed what 4G can reliably deliver.
The ALTOS occupies a different position within the Teltonika portfolio. Unlike the industrial-focused RUT series, it is primarily designed for broadband replacement and Fixed Wireless Access applications — combining high-speed 5G with strong Wi-Fi performance.
Suitable for homes, offices and retail environments. Whilst it can be used with a KeySIM IoT SIM card, for dedicated IoT deployments we would generally recommend one of the industrial RUT models instead.
Decision Guide
Whatever model you choose, Solwise can supply the hardware pre-configured and ready for deployment, whilst KeySIM provides resilient multi-network IoT SIM connectivity.
Remote Power Cycling
The PowerTXT is a GSM-controlled power socket that sits between your mains supply and the connected equipment. If a router becomes completely unresponsive, an authorised user can send an SMS command to cut power and restore it — performing a hard reboot without visiting site. It works independently of internet connectivity.
SMS-controlled power cycling, temperature monitoring and mains failure alerting — completely independent of internet connectivity.
