As the demand for secure and efficient connectivity grows, so do regulatory requirements. That is why Teltonika's 5G router - the RUTX50 model - has achieved compliance with the latest guidelines of the EU's RED (Radio Equipment Directive), an important step towards innovation and compliance with European standards.
RED is the EU's primary framework for regulating wireless devices. It ensures that equipment meets key requirements for safety, electromagnetic compatibility and efficient use of the radio spectrum..
From 1 August 2025, the RED directive will also require compliance with cyber security standards, meaning that the bar for data protection and network resilience has been raised significantly. Compliance with the RED is confirmed through a conformity assessment and CE marking - necessary for the product to be placed on the EU market.
The EN 18031-1 standard specifies stringent requirements related to the protection of network integrity in Internet-connected devices. For industrial solutions such as the RUTX50, this means built-in mechanisms to protect against operational disruptions and ensure secure, uninterrupted communication within the critical infrastructure.
The EN 18031-2 standard, on the other hand, focuses on user privacy. It stipulates that any device that processes personal data - whether used in a consumer or industrial context - must have robust safeguards against unauthorised access.
By meeting both standards, the RUTX50 router is ready for the new regulatory realities and gives partners and customers full confidence in the IoT solutions being deployed - in line with future requirements. This is just the beginning - more certified devices are on the way!
The RUTX50 is an industrial 5G router designed for applications requiring high bandwidth and low latency. Equipped with automatic failover and five Gigabit Ethernet ports, it provides fast and stable connectivity - both wireless and wired - in a compact form factor.
With demanding industrial environments in mind, the router supports dual SIM cards, offering transmission speeds of up to 3.3 Gbps and minimal latency. Thanks to backward compatibility with LTE Cat 20 and 3G, flexible integration into diverse infrastructures is possible.
To meet the highest security requirements, the RUTX50 supports a wide range of advanced VPN protocols - including ZeroTier, PPTP, L2TP, Stunnel, DMVPN and many more. In addition, the device offers key security features such as attack protection, access control and a configurable firewall. This ensures that the network remains resilient to external threats and administrators can precisely manage its security..
Combining performance, safety and flexibility, the RUTX50 is a future-ready solution - compliant with EN 18031-1 and EN 18031-2 and fully prepared for changes in European regulations.
