Dear community,

Every setup has a story

What was the main reason you chose a Teltonika Networks device for your project?

• Reliability
• Price vs performance
• Features
• Recommendations
• Support / documentation
• Something else?

We’d love to hear your story — even short answers count!

  • Reliability and durability.
  • All metal housing.
  • Feature rich software.
  • Support for 3rd party firmware like OpenWRT.
  • Not locking the device management to cloud only.
  • No registration or personal data needed to operate device.
  • Quectel / Qualcomm based hardware.
  • Support. Both via forums and phone.

Lets hope it stays like this in the future.

hi, @Marija

  • A lot of documentation and samples about how to do something.
  • Simple to manage and very clear proposal about how to use it.

As a home / domestic user living in a remote rural location, fibre and or copper wasn’t an option at all. So it had to be either Radio, Satellite or Mobile. Radio was very expensive, Satellite i decided was expensive and unreliable, so i chose a mobile solution.

My RUTX50 gave me the option to plug in a USB drive as a network shared drive for the whole family to access for backing up stuff. Although the kit (Router and an external antenna) was an expensive initial purchase, the purchase of preloaded data sims i hope will greatly offset initial setup costs in just a few short years. Choosing a mobile solution gave me much higher speeds, a more reliable stable connection, a lot cheaper without being tied into a contract with a network provider, i can ditch and switch provider easier if needed.

At the time of purchase the RUTX50 was one of just a few offering a 5G modem and being able to plug in a USB drive as a networked drive swung it for me at the time.

Hello, @heartless ,

thanks for taking your time to share in detail.

I would say that all of these points are to remain and improve. Each, in its own right, is a big separate topic, and while some will vary simply due to portfolio expansion (i.e. consumer housings being plastic, or different OS branches like TSWOS and RUTOS), they are an important direction to maintain and grow (i.e. reliability, security, support availability and quality etc.).

Again, thanks for sharing!

hi, @Marcelo.Barros ,

we do try to take quite an effort to have as much publicly available documentation, and as comprehensible, as possible. Glad you find it being useful :slight_smile:

Thanks for sharing!

p.s. should you find anything missing in the docs - let us know, we will try and add it.

Hey, @akwe-xavante ,

great deciding factor. Always nice to see less utilized functions being of use!

Glad this purchase gave you a solution where options are limited, may it serve you well, and thanks for sharing!
