Exact Order Code: This page is for Teltonika RUT956A00A00, the North American RUT956 standard package supplied with a US 9 W power supply. RUT956A00200 is the corresponding North American mass-packing order code.

North American Cellular Version: RUT956A00A00 supports LTE-FDD bands B2, B4, B5, B12, B13, B14, B66, and B71 plus 3G bands B2, B4, and B5. These bands distinguish it from Global, European, Australian, Japanese, and other regional RUT956 variants.

Carrier Approvals: Teltonika lists AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile approvals for the North American RUT956. The NTS description "All Carrier Version" should not be interpreted as guaranteed compatibility with every MVNO, plan, APN, or private network configuration. Confirm the intended service provider and data plan before deployment.

Dual Physical SIM: RUT956A00A00 provides two external Mini-SIM slots and supports automatic switching based on weak signal, roaming, data limits, network availability, connection failure, and other configurable RutOS conditions.

No eSIM on This Exact SKU: Newer RUT956 hardware can support eSIM, but Teltonika uses separate eSIM order codes. The current North American eSIM standard package is RUT956A30A00. RUT956A00A00 should therefore be sold as the dual physical-SIM configuration rather than advertised with eSIM.

LTE Cat 4: Maximum theoretical mobile rates are 150 Mbps download and 50 Mbps upload. Actual throughput depends on carrier network conditions, available LTE bands, signal strength, antenna placement, congestion, and the customer's service plan.

Four Fast Ethernet Ports: RUT956 provides four 10/100 Mbps Ethernet interfaces rather than Gigabit Ethernet. One interface operates as WAN by default and can be configured as LAN, while the remaining three operate as LAN ports.

2.4 GHz Wi-Fi 4: RUT956 supports IEEE 802.11b/g/n wireless networking on 2.4 GHz. It does not provide 5 GHz Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi 5, or Wi-Fi 6.

GNSS Included: Unlike RUT951, RUT956 includes a dedicated GNSS receiver and SMA antenna interface supporting GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo, and QZSS for location tracking, geofencing, NMEA reporting, and time synchronization.

RS232 & RS485: RUT956 includes both a DB9 RS232 port and a six-pin RS485 interface. RS485 supports full-duplex and half-duplex operation from 300 to 115200 baud, making the router suitable for legacy and industrial serial equipment.

Extensive Industrial I/O: The 10-pin I/O connector provides dry and isolated digital inputs, analog measurement, an isolated open-collector output, and a relay output. Additional digital input and open-collector output functions are available through the four-pin power connector on applicable hardware.

4–20 mA Sensor Support: The analog input can be configured for applicable 4–20 mA current-loop measurements, allowing RUT956 to interface with common industrial sensors and instrumentation.

Passive PoE Input Only: RUT956A00A00 can receive 9–30 VDC through LAN1 using passive Mode B power over spare Ethernet pairs. It does not supply PoE power to cameras, access points, phones, or other Ethernet equipment.

Not IEEE Active PoE: RUT956's passive LAN1 input is not IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, or 802.3bt compliant. Teltonika warns that powering it from an incompatible IEEE active-PoE source can damage the router because standard active-PoE voltages do not match its passive input requirements.

MicroSD Hardware Revision: Current documentation states that North American RUT956 A***** hardware supports the internal microSD interface beginning with production batch 39. Supported hardware can use microSD cards up to 2 TB.

Q3 2025 Hardware Revision: RUT956 production received a hardware revision beginning in Q3 2025. New-production hardware requires RutOS RUT9M_R_00.07.10 or newer, and Teltonika recommends at least RUT9M_R_00.07.15 or the latest supported firmware.

USB Peripheral Power: The USB 2.0 host interface can support compatible storage and peripherals. Connected USB devices add to total power consumption, so a higher-capacity compatible power source may be required when powering demanding USB equipment.

RMS Support: RUT956 supports Teltonika Remote Management System for monitoring, configuration, firmware management, troubleshooting, and remote-access workflows. Applicable RMS credits or Management Packages are separate resources from the router purchase.

US Package: RUT956A00A00 specifically includes the North American 9 W PSU along with mobile antennas, Wi-Fi antennas, GNSS antenna, industrial connectors, Ethernet cable, SIM adapter kit, and Quick Start Guide.

Mounting Accessories: DIN-rail, wall, and flat-surface installation are supported using applicable additional mounting accessories. These mounting kits are not part of the verified standard package.

IP30 Enclosure: RUT956 is intended for protected industrial and commercial installations. Its IP30 enclosure should not be directly exposed to rain, water, or outdoor weather without an appropriate environmental enclosure.

RUT956 vs. RUT951: Both provide dual-SIM LTE Cat 4, four Fast Ethernet ports, 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, VPN services, digital I/O, and RMS management. RUT956 adds GNSS, RS232, RS485, extensive industrial I/O, relay control, USB host connectivity, and microSD support on applicable hardware.

Best Fit: Teltonika RUT956A00A00 is a strong fit for North American industrial automation, utilities, transportation, telemetry, remote monitoring, security, smart-city, energy, MSP, and IoT applications that require AT&T/Verizon/T-Mobile-certified LTE connectivity together with serial interfaces, GNSS, advanced I/O, VPN services, and centralized remote management.
