Description
YOUR 5G WIRELESS MULTITOOL
C FOR CRITICAL CONNECTIVITY
Empowering such multi-user networks, the RUTC50 5G router features support of both SA and NSA 5G architectures and breakneck cellular speeds of up to 3.4 Gbps, enabling unparallel data transmission.
In case 5G coverage isn’t available in any area, the RUTC50 is also backward compatible with 4G (Cat 20) and 3G, ensuring high throughput and low latency even in unfavourable environmental conditions.
Safeguarding this stellar connectivity is this 5G router’s network redundancy features. Equipped with two SIM card slots, the RUTC50 boasts auto-failover, backup WAN, and other switching scenarios meant to maintain an uninterrupted connection – no matter what.
C for CRUCIAL COMMUNICATION
In terms of interfaces, the RUTC50 features five Gigabit RJ45 ports, a digital input, a digital output, and a USB-A port. The latter can be used as a substitute serial port to connect to legacy devices, helping the router bridge the connectivity of the future with equipment of the past.
Speaking of GNSS, this 5G router is equipped with all the key precise location services you know and love, including GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo, and QZSS.
What about protocols? Similar to other Teltonika 5G routers, the RUTC50’s list of supported protocols is extra-long, and includes industry darlings like Modbus TCP, MQTT, SMNP, and HTTP.
Of course, all communications of this 5G Wi-Fi router are protected by its robust cybersecurity profile, which includes an integrated firewall, multiple authentication and encryption methods, port and tag-based VLAN separation, and support of key industrial VPN services such as ZeroTier, WireGuard, Stunnel, and IPsec.
C FOR COMPREHENSIVE CAPABILITIES
While we don’t always delve too deep into the processing power of any given device, the RUTC50 calls for a change in habits. Its dual-core ARM Cortex-A53 CPU is a true marvel to behold and is an important facet of the 5G router’s multi-user capabilities. The device itself is housed in anodised aluminium housing and panels and can operate in temperatures between -40 °C to 75 °C. It measures 103.4 x 42.6 x 130.4 mm and weighs 452 g. As you can expect, the RUTC50 fully compatible with Teltonika’s Remote Management System (RMS), allowing for remote firmware updates and troubleshooting, configurable custom alerts and automation, and many other remote management, monitoring, and access capabilities. In addition to RMS, this 5G router also supports other cloud solutions for remote management, including FOTA, Azure IoT Hub, Cloud of Things, Cumulocity, and ThingWorx.
Use Case from Teltonika
Recognising the effects of CO2 being spit from gasoline-driven vehicles, sustainability is prioritised across multiple sectors, including motorsports. So, electric vehicles (EV) and racing events dedicated to them, like the NXT Gen Cup, are starting to take off, and it’s easy to see why.
EV motorsports are not only better for the environment, but also offer advanced technological benefits that enhance the racing experience for drivers and teams alike. Plus, they’re setting new benchmarks by focusing on data-driven strategies, proving that there’s more to racing than just speed.
Our partner, the Lestrup Racing Team, is well-aware of this: organising racing events, putting electric race cars on the track, and delving deep into each EV’s racing and engineering metrics, like telemetry, live position tracking on the track, and car and driver status. The Lestrup Racing Team also educates drivers on a wide range of features, functions, and quirks of their EVs, all to achieve that sweet spot of peak performance and viewing pleasure.
However, no matter how great this sounds, without reliable Internet connectivity—it’s impossible. All the data for in-depth diagnostics need to be transmitted from vehicles to the team garage using network connectivity. And with race cars speeding around and events taking place in remote locations, it’s not exactly a walk in the park.
Fortunately, the Lestrup Racing Team decided to trust Teltonika and Bondix to provide a reliable and exceptionally fast source of connectivity at all times.
The solution – beep beep, mobile routers arriving
The Lestrup Racing Team equipped each of their 20 electric racing cars with a RUTX12 mobile router. At the team garage, they installed Starlink along with Teltonika’s RUTC50 Wi-Fi 6 router and TRB500 IoT gateway, both featuring 5G modems. All devices are boosted by Bondix’s WAN bonding technology.
Each RUTX12 mobile router has five RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet ports, which plug into real-time data acquisition systems for data transmission to the team garage. Transmitted data includes live HD video feeds, vehicle location, and CAN bus data – all for the sake of ensuring top vehicle performance and health. Additionally, the RUTX12 has Wi-Fi, enabling IP radio communications.
Thanks to its dual 4G LTE modules that work simultaneously, the RUTX12 is perfect for Bondix’s WAN bonding magic, combining two mobile connections from separate SIM card carriers to deliver cellular speeds of up to 600 Mbps. This is exactly what the solution yearns for, as data transmission in real time is a top priority.
5G modems offer exceptional mobile speeds, and integrating the RUTC50 5G router and TRB500 5G gateway provides the team garage with robust connectivity. However, a significant connectivity boost also comes from adding Starlink, which is connected via one of the RUTC50’s RJ45 ports. The WAN bonding of these three devices provides the team garage with cellular speeds of up to 650 Mbps—truly impressive for remote racing locations.
Each RUTX12 mobile router connects to the RUTC50 via an established Bondix tunnel for secure data transmission, keeping the entire team connected and data flowing seamlessly, enabling to push racing results higher and higher.
Another key player in this setup is Teltonika’s Remote Management System (RMS). It’s a true game-changing IoT platform that simplifies management of all Teltonika’s networking devices that make this whole IoT solution possible.
RMS allows for remote management of all Teltonika routers and gateways, eliminating the need for manual, individual maintenance. This is especially crucial when a car is tearing around the track and any connectivity issues need an instant fix.
As a bonus, RMS is the tool that enables the Lestrup Racing Team to attain real-time insights into detailed metrics from the routers along the track, like temperatures, connection types, signal strength, and more, ensuring every mobile router employed stays in top shape for many more thrilling races to come.
Having robust and reliable networking devices by your side takes a lot of stress off your shoulders, and when mobile connections are bonded, connectivity issues definitely won’t appear on your ‘risks’ list.
