4G Cat 6 Power in a Compact Format
The Teltonika RUT260 is more than just a simple mobile router – it's a powerhouse for your critical connections. Thanks to the 4G Cat 6 module, it achieves impressive speeds of up to 300 Mbps in download through Carrier Aggregation. That's twice as fast as conventional Cat 4 devices, making it ideal for applications where every millisecond counts, such as transmitting HD video streams or quickly synchronizing large amounts of data in IoT scenarios.
Built to Last: The Robust 4G Router for Vehicles and Industry
Where other devices reach their limits, the RUT260 is just getting started. Its robust aluminum housing with IP30 protection, the extreme operating temperature range of -40 °C to 75 °C, and its compact design make it the perfect robust 4G Router for vehicles, control cabinets, or remote industrial facilities. Flexible mounting options for DIN rails and flat surfaces ensure that it integrates seamlessly into any existing infrastructure. It belongs to the category of Teltonika 4G / 5G Routers and is a core component for any professional Network.
Security and Remote Access Without Compromise
With RutOS, the powerful OpenWrt-based operating system, you have full control. The RUT260 is the ideal Industrial Router for Remote Access, as it supports a huge selection of VPN protocols such as OpenVPN, IPsec, WireGuard, and ZeroTier. This allows you to build secure tunnels to your machines and systems. Comprehensive firewall rules, DDOS prevention, and VLAN tagging protect your Network from unauthorized access. Via the Teltonika Remote Management System (RMS), you can also centrally manage, monitor, and configure entire fleets of routers.
Maximum Availability Through Intelligent WAN Failover
A stable connection is everything. That's why the RUT260 features an intelligent WAN failover function. If the primary 4G connection fails, the router automatically and seamlessly switches to a secondary connection that you can provide via the configurable WAN/LAN port. This 4G Router with WAN Failover thus ensures maximum operational reliability and minimizes downtime in business-critical applications. The matching M2M / IoT Antennas - 4G, 5G, WiFi are already included in the scope of delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can the Teltonika RUT260 use two SIM cards?
No, the RUT260 only has a single Mini-SIM card slot. It does not support dual-SIM for failover or load-balancing between two mobile Network providers.
Is the RUT260 suitable for use in vehicles?
Yes, due to its compact design, wide input voltage range of 9-30 VDC, and resistance to vibrations and extreme temperatures, it is very well suited for installation in vehicles or other Teltonika LTE / 5G Routers. The ECE R118 certification also confirms its safe fire behavior.
Does the RUT260 support Gigabit Ethernet?
No, both Ethernet Switch ports of the RUT260 are limited to Fast Ethernet (10/100 Mbps). The maximum wired speed is 100 Mbps, even if the Teltonika LTE / 5G Routers could theoretically be faster.
Can I remotely manage the router over the internet?
Yes, the RUT260 is fully compatible with the Teltonika Accessories. This allows for centralized remote configuration, monitoring, firmware updates, and remote access to devices in the field.
What is the main difference between the RUT260 and the RUT240?
The main difference lies in the Network. The RUT260 uses a 4G Cat 6 module with up to 300 Mbps, while the RUT240 uses a 4G Cat 4 module with up to 150 Mbps. Additionally, the RUT260 no longer supports 2G.
Which Antennas are required for the RUT260?
For operation, two 4G antennas with SMA connectors and one WiFi Antenna with RP-SMA connectors are required. A complete set of standard antennas is included in the scope of delivery.
