Teltonika RUT986 eSIM Global UK PSU – industrial global LTE Cat 4 router with Telit modem, eSIM, serial interfaces and RMS
The Teltonika RUT986 eSIM Global UK PSU is an industrial global LTE Cat 4 router for professional networking environments where reliable mobile connectivity, serial integration and centralized management come together. This model combines a Telit Cat 4 modem with dual SIM, eSIM, 4 x Ethernet, RS232, RS485, GNSS and multiple I/Os within one compact industrial router platform. Thanks to eSIM bootstrap, the router supports initial profile download, while zero-touch deployment and central management via RMS suit large-scale and professionally managed deployment scenarios. In addition, the RUT986 supports industry protocols such as Modbus, DNP3 and OPC UA for data collection and system integration. This version refers to the eSIM Global UK PSU variant.
Global LTE router application and positioning for industrial and smart infrastructure deployments
The RUT986 is positioned as an industrial global LTE router for organizations looking to deploy reliable 4G connectivity at scale within industrial and smart infrastructure environments. Combining Telit Cat 4, dual SIM, eSIM, serial interfaces, GNSS and multiple I/Os, this model addresses environments where network connectivity, device connectivity and data transmission come together in a single solution. The router is targeted at deployments where long availability, central deployment and remote management are important. When combined with RMS, this model therefore also supports central management of larger device fleets.
