RLTK421 Industrial 4G/LTE VPN Router

Compact, rugged 4G/LTE router with 2× Ethernet (LAN/WAN), Wi-Fi hotspot, and RS-485/RS-232 for secure PLC/HMI remote access. Built for industrial IoT, it delivers fast LTE with plug-and-play setup via a simple web UI; Linux-based firmware adds flexibility, while surge/ESD protection and a hardware watchdog keep it stable 24/7 in harsh sites.

Connectivity & Interfaces

4G/LTE with 2× Ethernet (LAN/WAN) and a Wi-Fi hotspot for fast site networking. The RS-485/RS-232 terminal enables transparent serial communication to PLCs/HMIs.

VPN & Security

Encrypted tunnels with OpenVPN, IPsec, L2TP, GRE plus firewall/ACL and DoS protection. LTE/Ethernet failover and auto-reconnect keep connectivity uninterrupted.

Industrial Design & Reliability

Metal enclosure, −20~+70 °C operating range, and DIN-rail/panel mounting for harsh sites. Surge/ESD protection and a hardware watchdog ensure reliable 24/7 operation.

Key Features

RLTK421 is built to deliver secure remote access without a site visit. With LTE, multi-VPN, and serial bridging, you can connect to PLCs/HMIs in minutes.

  • 4G/LTE with Auto-APN — Fast bring-up and auto-reconnect to keep sites online.
  • Multi-VPN (OpenVPN / IPsec / L2TP / GRE) — Secure tunnels for interoperable remote access.
  • 2× Ethernet (LAN/WAN) + Wi-Fi Hotspot — Connect field devices and users in minutes.
  • RS-485 / RS-232 Bridging — Transparent serial communication to PLCs/HMIs; Modbus RTU↔TCP.
  • Rugged Design (−20~+70 °C, Metal, DIN-rail) — Built for harsh industrial environments.
  • Remote Management & Alarms — Web/SSH/SNMP control, email/SMS alerts, hardware watchdog.

Connect It to RoltekConnect Cloud

With RoltekConnect Cloud, RLTK421 joins a zero-trust tunnel. Use role/time-based access and session auditing to control who gets in, when, and what they do. Monitor health, push configs and firmware remotely.

Use Cases

Remote PLC Maintenance

Monitor, troubleshoot and program PLCs/HMIs without a site visit—secure, auditable access via a zero-trust tunnel.

External Party Access Governance

RoltekConnect Cloud converts external parties access into a temporary, scoped, and fully auditable request → approve → operate flow, eliminating operational risk.
