The RUT901 is a 4G/LTE CAT4 router, with x4 Ethernet ports, x2 mobile antenna connectors, x2 WiFi antenna connectors, and dual-SIM failover support. With its compact size and robust design, this router is designed to excel as a mission-critical internet provider in industrial environments such as factories, vehicles and remote machines. This robustness and the sensible price also make the RUT901 an ideal choice for use in the home or on the road in your campervan / motorhome, or your boat / narrowboat, etc.
As a CAT4 router, the RUT901 is capable of achieving mobile speeds of up to 150Mbps, which can then provide WiFi access or Ethernet connections to your devices.
The RUT901 can be powered via PoE (Power over Ethernet), taking any passive PoE input ranging from 9v to 30v DC via the LAN1 port with cable lengths of up to about 40 metres. This can be ideal for installations where the router needs to be a fair distance away from any standard power socket. Read more about the RUT901 powering options here.
The RUT901 has x2 SIM card slots, allowing it to support automatic SIM card failover in the event that the primary SIM stops providing an active mobile connection for whatever reason, whether that be down to a problem with the SIM itself or even the local mobile network. This makes the RUT901 even more reliable for keeping mission-critical networks connected to the internet at all times.
The 4G-RUT901-ESIM (eSIM model) also has eSIM capability, unlike traditional SIM cards, an eSIM is a digital version that is integrated directly into the device's motherboard, eliminating the need for a physical card. This embedded technology is non-removable and offers greater flexibility and convenience for users.
Each device with eSIM support comes with a preinstalled bootstrap profile that includes 10MB of data, which is activated upon the device's first use. The 10MB of data is sufficient to download a dedicated eSIM profile from your service provider upon first use of your device. This feature is especially useful for deploying devices in remote locations where no alternative internet connection is available, simplifying the setup process.
Once a new eSIM profile is successfully downloaded, the bootstrap profile and all related configurations, including the bootstrap eSIM zone with its pre-configured traffic-blocking rules, are automatically removed. The newly downloaded eSIM profile is then set as the default primary SIM.
Please Note: The bootstrap profile is valid for 1 year starting from the manufacturing date of the device. After 1 year, the profile will no longer be available, meaning you will have to follow the default procedure of activating an eSIM, which requires an internet connection from another source.
The RUT901 has x2 4G/LTE antenna connectors, and x2 WiFi antenna connectors, which means you can use either indoor or outdoor antennas ensuring you get the reliable connection you need whether that is at home, at the office or on the road.
