Teltonika RUTXR1 Industrial Cellular Rack-Mountable LTE Cat 6 SFP Router
Teltonika RUTXR1 Enterprise Rack-Mountable 4G LTE Cat 6 SFP Router
The Teltonika RUTXR1 is a professional rack-mountable industrial and enterprise router designed for applications where network reliability, redundancy and multiple connectivity options are critical. It combines 4G LTE Cat 6, Gigabit Ethernet, an SFP fibre interface, dual-band Wi-Fi 5, dual SIM and redundant power inputs in a full steel rack-mountable enclosure.
Teltonika describes the RUTXR1 as its first rack-mountable LTE Cat 6 router, designed for fast and ultra-reliable connectivity with redundant power, WAN failover, dual SIM, SFP, USB and a dedicated console port.

The four headline capabilities identified by Teltonika are LTE Cat 6, SFP fibre connectivity, Wi-Fi and dual power.
4G LTE Cat 6 with Carrier Aggregation
The RUTXR1 provides 4G LTE Cat 6 mobile connectivity with maximum theoretical speeds of:
- Download: up to 300 Mbps
- Upload: up to 50 Mbps
- 3G fallback: up to 42 Mbps download / 5.76 Mbps upload
Carrier Aggregation allows compatible mobile networks to combine LTE spectrum resources for increased throughput, making the RUTXR1 suitable as either the primary internet connection or a cellular backup for fixed-line infrastructure.
Dual SIM with Automatic Failover
The RUTXR1 includes two external Mini SIM slots and sophisticated automatic SIM switching.
The router can automatically switch SIM cards based on conditions including:
- Weak mobile signal
- Data limit
- SMS limit
- Roaming
- No network
- Network denied
- Data connection failure
- SIM idle protection
This allows SIM cards from different mobile network operators to be installed, providing another level of redundancy for mission-critical installations.
SFP Fibre Connectivity
A major differentiating feature of the RUTXR1 is its integrated SFP port for fibre-optic connectivity.
The router provides:
- 1 × SFP optical interface
- 1 × Gigabit Ethernet WAN
- 4 × Gigabit LAN
The SFP interface is particularly useful in enterprise, industrial and infrastructure networks requiring long-distance fibre communication or electrical isolation between network segments.
Important: the datasheet specifies that the SFP port and Ethernet WAN port cannot operate simultaneously.
5 × Gigabit Ethernet Ports
Unlike smaller industrial Teltonika routers, the RUTXR1 provides extensive wired connectivity:
- 4 × 10/100/1000 Mbps LAN ports
- 1 × 10/100/1000 Mbps WAN port
- WAN can be configured as LAN
This allows several servers, controllers, switches, gateways, computers or other Ethernet devices to connect directly to the router without requiring an additional Ethernet switch in smaller installations.
Dual-Band Wi-Fi 5
The RUTXR1 incorporates 802.11ac Wave 2 Wi-Fi 5 with:
- 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz dual-band operation
- Maximum data rates up to 867 Mbps
- MU-MIMO
- Access Point mode
- Station mode
- Up to 150 simultaneous Wi-Fi clients
- 802.11s wireless mesh
- 802.11r fast roaming
- 802.11v BSS transition management
- 802.11k radio resource measurement
This makes the RUTXR1 considerably more suitable for enterprise Wi-Fi applications than basic industrial routers with single-band Wi-Fi.
Dual Redundant Power Inputs
One of the strongest reliability features of the RUTXR1 is its dual power supply architecture.
The router provides:
2 × 4-pin industrial DC power sockets
for:
- Main power
- Redundant backup power
Both support 9–50 VDC input with reverse polarity and surge/transient protection.
Power consumption is:
This allows the router to remain operational if one external power source fails, making it well suited to critical communications infrastructure.
Automatic WAN Failover & Load Balancing
The RUTXR1 provides extensive network redundancy options.
Available WAN sources include:
- 4G LTE
- Ethernet WAN
- SFP fibre
- Wi-Fi WAN
- VRRP
These connections can be configured for automatic failover, while load balancing can distribute internet traffic across multiple available WAN connections.
Combined with dual SIM and dual power, this gives the RUTXR1 multiple layers of redundancy:
Power redundancy → SIM redundancy → WAN redundancy → connection monitoring
This is one of the key reasons to choose the RUTXR1 for critical remote and enterprise infrastructure.
Industrial IoT Gateway Functions
Although positioned as an enterprise router, the RUTXR1 also contains extensive industrial IoT functionality.
Modbus
The router supports:
- Modbus TCP Client
- Modbus TCP Server
- Modbus via USB
- Custom Modbus registers
- INT / UINT
- Float
- HEX
- ASCII
- ABCD, DCBA, CDAB and BADC 32-bit ordering
MQTT & Data to Server
It supports:
- MQTT
- MQTT Broker
- MQTT Publisher
- Modbus MQTT Gateway
- HTTP/HTTPS Data to Server
- Azure MQTT
- Custom Lua scripting
Additional Industrial Protocols
The RUTXR1 also supports:
- BACnet/IP
- BACnet RTU via USB
- OPC UA Client & Server
- DNP3 Station & Outstation
- DLMS/COSEM Client
This makes the RUTXR1 suitable not only as a network router but also as an industrial IoT and protocol gateway.
USB & Console Connectivity
The router includes:
- 1 × USB 2.0 Type-A
- 1 × dedicated RJ45 console port
USB can be used with external devices including:
- USB storage
- External HDD
- Additional modem
- Printer
- USB-to-serial adapter
It also supports Samba sharing and USB-to-serial functionality.
The dedicated console interface is particularly useful for enterprise and industrial network administrators who require direct local management and troubleshooting access.

RMS enables functionality such as:
- Remote router management
- Configuration
- Monitoring
- Alerts
- Remote access
- Firmware updates
- Multi-device configuration
The router can also be managed through WebUI, FOTA, SSH, SMS, TR-069, MQTT, SNMP and JSON-RPC.
