That combination makes it a common choice for vehicles, fleets and remote equipment. Resilient Tec sells the new Teltonika RUT956 for $327.00. It also replaces the end-of-life RUT955.

Getting position data off the router
RutOS gives the RUT956 several ways to report location — pick the one your tracking platform expects:
- NMEA forwarding over TCP or UDP to one or more servers, with a cache in RAM or flash so positions aren't lost when the connection drops.
- NMEA to serial on RS232 or RS485, for onboard equipment that wants a GPS feed.
- HTTP/HTTPS posting GPS data to a web server on an interval.
- AVL server reporting with rules for collect period, minimum distance, minimum angle change and send period — so a parked vehicle doesn't flood the server and a turning one still draws a clean track.
Tracking platforms such as GpsGate list the RUT956 as a supported device; check your platform's setup guide for which method it uses.
Geofencing and I/O-triggered reporting
The RUT956 can define circular geofences with enter and exit events, and AVL rules can change behavior based on digital input state. A common pattern is wiring a status signal from the vehicle or equipment to a digital input so the router reports differently when it's active. Check Teltonika's I/O specifications before wiring anything to the vehicle.
Beyond vehicles: serial equipment
The same RS232/RS485 ports make the RUT956 the Teltonika fit for remote PLCs, meters and other serial devices at pump stations, solar sites and substations — anywhere a serial device needs to reach the network over cellular. Resilient Tec sells the Teltonika RUT956 (RUT956A00A00), a dual-SIM 4G LTE router with GPS, RS232/RS485 and digital I/O, for $327.00.
