Teltonika is a Lithuanian company that manufactures a wide variety of mobile-connectivity equipment, focusing on internet-of-things (IoT), networking, connected vehicles, and asset tracking gear. They've been a major supplier in many areas around the globe. Teltonika products became available and certified in the North American market in 2019, but most products are not available for the American market.
The most interesting products for our audience are Teltonika's line of mobile routers, particularly those will cellular-embedded modems that are compatible with US networks.
Product Variations
Teltonika's router product lines use "RUT" in the name, and it can be confusing identifying different models, especially since many models are designed for specific regions. The models currently of interest to our audience and available and designed for North American wireless networks are listed in the tabs below.
Teltonika routers are also used in some GLOMEX products.
