Teltonika RUTM30: A Compact, Industrial 5G Router with Dual SIM + eSIM for Long-Term Remote Monitoring

RUTM30

If you spec, install, or maintain connected systems in the field, you want three things from a router: fast, rock-solid connectivity; clean power and IO options; and security that doesn’t keep you up at night. Teltonika’s RUTM30 delivers exactly that: a compact, industrial-grade 5G router with two physical SIM slots plus an embedded eSIM, dual-band Wi-Fi 5, two Gigabit Ethernet ports, wide DC input, and hardened RutOS firmware for secure, long-term deployments.

At-a-glance: Why choose RUTM30

  • Triple SIM flexibility: 2× physical SIMs plus an embedded eSIM with support for up to 7 profiles.
  • 5G ready, future-proof: Works with both SA (Standalone) and NSA (Non-Standalone) 5G networks, with LTE Cat 19 fallback where 5G is weak.
  • Installer-friendly design: 9–50 VDC power input, reverse polarity protection, passive PoE-in (Mode B), compact aluminium housing, wide operating temperature.
  • Security and remote management: Full VPN suite (OpenVPN, IPsec, WireGuard, ZeroTier, Tailscale, DMVPN), hardened firewall, and RMS for remote management across fleets.

Description

The Teltonika RUTM30 is a compact industrial 5G router built for demanding IoT and M2M applications. It delivers fast, resilient connectivity for remote assets with 5G Sub-6 support, dual-band Wi-Fi 5, and Gigabit Ethernet. Its triple SIM system — dual SIM slots plus eSIM — offers unbeatable resilience, while Teltonika’s RMS platform ensures devices remain manageable, even on private or dynamic IP SIM cards.

Typical applications

  • Remote CCTV and security systems – resilient backhaul with automatic SIM switching and RMS for hands-off fleet management.
  • Industrial telemetry and SCADA – wide DC input, digital I/O for alarms, and secure VPN links for site-to-core data.
  • Retail kiosks and payment terminals – secure 5G connectivity, dual Ethernet ports, and captive portal features.
  • Utilities and energy infrastructure – rugged build, eSIM flexibility for long-term deployments, and wide temperature tolerance.
  • Smart city and IoT networks – remote sensors, signage, and monitoring points requiring reliable, secure backhaul.

What is eSIM?

An eSIM is an embedded SIM chip built into the device, replacing or complementing the need for a removable SIM card. It uses eUICC (embedded Universal Integrated Circuit Card) technology to store multiple operator profiles, which can be activated remotely. Instead of swapping physical SIM cards, profiles are downloaded securely over the air.


How does eSIM work?

  • Profiles containing mobile operator credentials are securely downloaded to the eSIM chip.
  • The router’s software manages these profiles, enabling you to switch operator without physical access.
  • The RUTM30 supports up to 7 eSIM profiles, which can be enabled, disabled, or prioritised via the WebUI, CLI, or RMS.
  • Profiles are fetched from the operator’s provisioning server and installed using activation codes or QR codes.

How can eSIM benefit my M2M/IoT installation?

  • Reduced site visits – change network provider remotely without needing to replace SIMs in the field.
  • Simplified logistics – no more managing multiple plastic SIM cards; provision devices as they’re deployed.
  • Resilience and flexibility – combine dual SIM slots with eSIM for maximum uptime and automatic failover.
  • Future-proofing – as more operators adopt eSIM provisioning, your installations remain compatible with evolving connectivity models.
