RUTC50 Vs RUTX50 - Teltonika 5G Routers

The RUTX50 5G Router from Teltonika is coming up to its 2nd anniversary. A slow starter it has proved to now be a solid addition to the Teltonika range of routers. More recently we have welcomed the RUTX50’s big brother, the RUTC50. The question is, is it worth the extra cost? To be fair, only you can decide that, but we are here to give you all the information and to let you know the differences, so you can make that informed decision.

At first look there doesn’t appear to be much difference in the two routers other than the RUTC50 gives you WiFi6, it is a different colour and it is a higher cost. It is when you dig into the nitty gritty you see the differences.

The RUTC50 has double the RAM - RAM is used for temporary storage of data and running processes. Essentially the higher the RAM allows the router to operate and perform its functions much more smoothly and efficiently.

The RUTC50 has a different CPU, the Mediatek, Dual-core, 1.3 GHz, ARM Cortex A53. For most folks this won’t make any difference but for the techier this could be seen as an improvement over the RUTX50.

 

 

 

 

 

With the differences in the WiFi it is worth noting there are 2 WiFi antenna connectors on the RUTX50 but you get 3 WiFi antenna connectors on the RUTC50.

We have a comparison chart on the product pages showing these differences, do check it out. If you have any questions do give the team a ring or pop an email over.

The Teltonika RUTC50 is a very powerful LTE 4G/5G router, capable of using CAT19 technology to reach mobile speeds of up to 3.3 Gbps through a single mobile module. This router is industrial grade and is capable of excelling in any scenario, from domestic buildings to remote industrial installations, and can therefore work well in the role of a primary and a backup connection.

The RUTC50 supports 5x 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports and its mobile bandwidth of 3.3 Gbps is the fastest of any single-modem Teltonika router. Dual-SIM cards are supported for failover/auto-switch purposes, adding to the router's versatility, and a real-time signal strength indicator is included to assist with external antenna positioning. It supports 4x4 MIMO antenna connections to allow for the strongest possible mobile signal.

The router supports WiFi 6 for wireless broadcasting with speeds of up to 2978 Mbps, granting it extremely powerful and far-reaching wireless coverage. This WiFi can be secured with WPA3, the latest standard in wireless security, and a Wireless Mesh / Roaming feature is included for use with other Teltonika routers, allowing one continuous WiFi SSID to be shared across a large area.

The RUTC50 supports various other advanced features including a captive portal with a customisable landing page and user / group management, multiple VPN services, firewalls, and Remote Management support (Teltonika RMS). All of these functionalities and more can be configured using the clear and intuitive RutOS web interface. Auto-APN configuration is enabled by default in order to make the RUTC50 as quick and easy as possible to set up, even for people with minimal networking experience.
