Solwise: RUTM16 Teltonika 4G/LTE CAT6 Dual-SIM & eSIM Telit Global Router - TL-RUTM16

Overview

The RUTM16 is a Global 4G router engineered for IoT solutions and industrial setups, enabling you to leverage worldwide connectivity with a Global Telit modem which provides CAT6 speeds & coverage across multiple markets.

For maximum versatility, connect IoT and industrial setups via robust x5 Gigabit Ethernet ports, & x1 USB port, and enjoy stable wireless access with Dual-band WiFi5 featuring Mesh and Fast Roaming.

The RUTM16 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.

With integrated eSIM & Teltonika's Remote Management System (RMS), you can easily manage carrier switching at scale, with RMS also allowing you to configure & monitor your router remotely, eliminating costly site visits.

RUTM16 is perfect for large-scale applications like robotics, transport, roadside infrastructure, and POS terminals making it an easy solution to deploy 4G.
