All you need to know about Teltonika's new RutOS 7

Keeping pace with evolving networking demands is crucial. Teltonika’s RutOS 7.09 introduces features designed to enhance scalability, performance, and security.

VXLAN protocol: scalable and flexible networking

The Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) protocol in RutOS 7.09 enables networks to scale by creating up to 16 million Layer 2 virtual networks over Layer 3 infrastructure.

Key benefits:

  • Seamless Layer 2 Communication Over 5G: Ideal for IT systems reliant on protocols like ROS (Robot Operating System) for robotics applications or PROFINET for real-time industrial automation systems, VXLAN ensures reliable L2 connectivity across geographically dispersed networks.
  • Bandwidth Optimisation: By reducing Layer 3 overhead, VXLAN maximises available bandwidth for smooth operations.
  • Enhanced Isolation: The added scalability makes it easier to segregate and secure networks, critical for industrial and enterprise environments.

This feature simplifies scaling for ISPs and WISPs, helping them manage growing customer bases and improve service quality.

Hotspot performance aligned with router throughput

RutOS 7.09 ensures hotspot speeds match the router’s maximum throughput, delivering seamless connectivity in high-demand environments like hospitality and transportation.

Key use cases:

  • Hotels: Enable uninterrupted HD streaming for guests.
  • Public transport: Provide consistent high-speed Wi-Fi with LTE devices.

Docker support: flexible application deployment

RutOS 7.09 integrates Docker on the RUTC50 5G router, allowing isolated container-based application deployment.

Applications:

  • Network monitoring: Deploy tools like Pi-hole or Netdata for analytics.
  • Simplified management: Use Docker commands to streamline app deployment and monitoring.

This is ideal for IoT installers working on smart cities and industrial projects.

Advanced security features

RutOS 7.09 strengthens security with features to enhance reliability and access control.

DMVPN dual hub:

  • Supports connections to two DMVPN servers for redundancy.
  • Minimises downtime in critical environments.

SSH protocol updates:

  • Allows disabling password-based logins in favour of security keys.
  • Offers flexibility with combined password and key authentication.

These measures ensure robust protection against unauthorised access while simplifying management.

User experience enhancements

RutOS 7.09 includes practical upgrades to improve usability:

  • Notifications: Centralised hub for critical updates.
  • Mobile frequency labelling: Simplifies mobile network configuration.
  • Firmware update tracking: Displays clear progress during modem upgrades.

These features save time and improve workflow efficiency for engineers.

Practical example: improved hospitality networks

A hotel chain implemented RutOS 7.09 to modernise its network infrastructure. VXLAN supported seamless scalability, hotspot upgrades delighted guests, and Docker enabled custom monitoring tools. This resulted in a 30% increase in customer satisfaction.

RutOS 7.09 isn’t just an update; it’s a comprehensive toolkit for tackling today’s complex networking challenges. Whether you’re an ISP, a WISP, or an IoT installer, this OS offers the features you need to stay ahead in a competitive market.
