Most industrial deployments don’t need a full-fat 5G modem. They need low latency, solid uplink and predictable costs.
That’s exactly where Teltonika’s new RUT276 fits.
It runs 5G RedCap (Release 17) – the lighter, more efficient version of 5G built for IoT, SCADA, BMS, kiosks and EV chargers. You still get stable 5G Standalone with LTE fallback, dual-SIM failover and proper RS232/RS485 serial ports, without paying 5G insanity tax.

Quick Specs (no fluff)
- 5G RedCap (SA) + LTE Cat 4 fallback
- RS232 & RS485 for Modbus / PLC / EV charger controllers
- Dual-SIM failover
- PoE-in + 9–57V DC
- RutOS with VPN suite (WireGuard, OpenVPN, IPsec, ZeroTier)
Ideal when the job is SCADA telemetry, not streaming Netflix.
