• Automated Updates: Schedule firmware updates across your fleet effortlessly with Teltonika RMS.
• Custom Alerts: Set up notifications for specific events or thresholds to stay informed about your network’s status.

Optimizing Signal Reception with External Antennas

While the RUTM51 is a powerful device, its performance can be enhanced in challenging signal environments through the use of external antennas. This is particularly relevant when the router is located indoors with poor signal reception but better signal strength available nearby.

Using a 4×4 MIMO Antenna

The RUTM51 supports 4×4 MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) technology for its 5G connectivity. By leveraging external antennas designed for MIMO configurations, businesses can significantly boost their signal reception and overall network performance.Here’s how external antennas can improve connectivity:

1. Increased Range: External 5G antennas can be placed in optimal locations—such as near windows or rooftops—to capture stronger signals from distant cell towers.
2. Improved Signal Quality: Positioning antennas away from sources of interference can lead to cleaner signals and better data rates.
3. Flexibility in Router Placement: With external antennas, the router can remain in a convenient indoor location while the antennas are positioned for optimal signal reception.
4. Overcoming Building Materials: Modern buildings often use materials that can attenuate cellular signals; external antennas can be placed outside these barriers to ensure strong reception.

Businesses should consider investing in high-quality, 5G-compatible external antennas to fully utilize this feature.
