More News 1/28/2026 Meet Altos: The Wi-Fi 7 Router Invited to Your Living Room 1/21/2026 Managed vs unmanaged switches: choose the right fit 1/20/2026 Password Security Standards – Best Practices to Protect your Devices Teltonika’s TSW202 managed switch for PoE management 14 May 2024 PoE Ethernet switches are the ideal choice for those looking to simplify the management of networking solutions and minimise the number of wires cluttering the setup. With managed PoE+ switches, such as the TSW202 , you can not only distribute connectivity to other devices and remotely manage the switch, but also connect more power-hungry end devices than what 802.3af would allow. PoE technology has undoubtedly transformed IoT and the way its networking solutions operate on a daily basis. Instead of dealing with numerous wires that resemble a den of snakes slithering around your setup, you now have half as many thanks to PoE. This technology enables the simultaneous distribution of network connectivity and power to your end devices. Truly, it’s a game changer when the goal is improved convenience for providing Internet and power to end devices. TWO TYPES OF POE Before diving deep into the benefits of PoE and its management for your network infrastructure, it’s crucial to acknowledge the two types of PoE: passive and active. In general, passive PoE Ethernet switches, which are designed to power end devices, distribute their total power capacity across each PoE-enabled port without a pre-handshake action. This method is far from ideal when it comes to powering your end devices, as it can result in insufficient support for more power-intensive devices and potential damage to less power-intensive devices due to power overload. Therefore, with passive PoE Ethernet switches, it’s crucial to check what power output the switch is distributing and what input your end device supports. In contrast, active PoE is a far more advanced power supply technology. For example, Ethernet switches equipped with PoE+ (one of a few active PoE standards) can distribute up to 25.50 W per PoE-enabled port. Additionally, active PoE switches always perform handshakes before supplying power to the end device. Now, what does this handshake mean? In the realm of IoT and PoE, a handshake refers to the actions performed by an active PoE Ethernet switch and the end device to determine whether the end device can be powered by the switch and, if so, what active PoE standard it supports. Ethernet unmanaged switches are well-known for their plug-and-play approach to distributing network connections, with PoE models extending this capability by also powering all connected devices. However, managed switches equipped with active PoE technology take a different approach – completely changing network management and power distribution in networking solutions. MANAGED POE+ SWITCHES ARE THE WAY TO GO Naturally, the word “managed” leads us to assume that we’re dealing with capabilities beyond what an unmanaged switch would offer, and that’s true. So, when you combine a managed switch with PoE+ functionality, you’re in for a treat that gives IoT enthusiasts the ultimate satisfaction. Managed PoE+ switches are highly beneficial, as they allow you to control your network infrastructure in a more granular manner, with the added advantage of being able to adjust your solution’s power distribution. All of this is thanks to the active PoE management feature. THE TSW202 MANAGED POE+ SWITCH The Teltonika TSW202 managed switch has many bells and whistles: It supports the PROFINET protocol for automated data processing, has additional L3 features , and operates on its proprietary operating system, WitchOS . The TSW202’s physical attributes also make the device stand out: It’s an 8-port Gigabit Ethernet switch with two SFP ports that ensure reliable support for fibre optic communication. However, its most definite feature is active PoE management. POWER CONTROL IN YOUR HANDS With the TSW202, you can have granular network management while simultaneously powering up to eight end devices, such as IP or CCTV cameras, wireless access points , sensors, and more. In addition, you gain control over which device receives power and can monitor the power consumption of each end device powered via PoE. The feature of managing power distribution over specific Ethernet ports enhances convenience by allowing users to selectively deactivate ports that are not in use or during non-operational hours. Individual port management can also help prevent unauthorised access from active network end devices, extend the lifespan of connected devices, or avoid the risk of overloading the switch. ENERGY EFFICIENCY – ON Additionally, you can turn the Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) mode on and off. This mode reduces power consumption during periods of low network activity and is used when network devices need to conserve energy and reduce operating costs. EEE mode is a great feature for those looking to minimise their energy consumption and maximise savings on energy bills. A bonus point is the TSW202’s per-device power consumption data visualisation. The TSW202 PoE+ Ethernet switch will always display the amount of power each connected end device consumes. Such data can help manage power resources more efficiently and see whether planning for power supply capacity upgrades or changes is necessary. DEVICE SETUP PROFILES The TSW202 PoE+ switch features a Profile Scheduling function, which enables you to create multiple configurations and apply them to different profile sets. This includes controlling the power supply distribution. By configuring different profiles, you can specify when your managed PoE+ switch distributes and cuts off power to connected devices, thus automating power distribution according to your networking solution’s operating hours. So, if you want your switches to perform power scheduling tasks, like turning off connected devices every weekday after 5 PM and turning them back on at 8 AM, you can easily achieve this using this feature! SEEKING SIMPLE AND REMOTE CONTROL? If you’re juggling multiple TSW202 managed switches across your networking solution or in remote locations and need a simple way to manage power allocation for all the endpoints, our Remote Management System (RMS) is just the tool you need! RMS grants you remote access to all connected network devices, which can include tons of TSW202 PoE+ switches. This allows you to oversee their status and access each of their web UI, further enabling you to control PoE+ ports and determine which and when end devices receive power (or not)! WHAT’S BEYOND THAT? If you’re in need of more management possibilities – you’re in luck, as the true beauty of WitchOS lies in its high customisation capabilities. The operating system of our managed switches empowers you to customise and enhance PoE management in many ways, allowing the TSW202 managed switch to perform significantly more advanced PoE management tasks. Say what? You read that right! While not on WitchOS, additional functionalities for the TSW202 PoE+ switch and its PoE management feature can be programmed or configured thanks to our operating system’s support of the software development kit (SDK). You can create your own custom firmware or specific features that you’d like the TSW202 switch to perform and realise all that by implementing your additions to the device via SDK. Now, if you haven't yet had a chance to try the TSW202 PoE+ switch, contact us by clicking the button below and test the switch for yourself to see how it elevates the network (and PoE!) management experience to another level!

Discover Teltonika Networks' approach to open-source code security, balancing transparency and protection to ensure the safety of your IoT solutions. More News 1/28/2026 Meet Altos: The Wi-Fi 7 Router Invited to Your Living Room 1/21/2026 Managed vs unmanaged switches: choose the right fit 1/20/2026 Password Security Standards – Best Practices to Protect your Devices OPEN-SOURCE CODE SECURITY: WHAT IT MEANS FOR TELTONIKA NETWORKS 15 December 2022 One of the key features of our products is their software. At Teltonika Networks, we use our own, in-house software (RutOS) based on OpenWRT – which itself is an open-source code . If you’re not a computer engineer, a code being “open-source” means that it’s publicly available for inspection and scrutiny, as opposed to closed-source code being hidden and, therefore, unavailable. The software code of Teltonika Networks would not be considered open-source, as it has deviated greatly from OpenWRT on which it’s based, and we do not publicly share our code in its entirety (we share certain parts due to the GNU General Public License ). However, being based on an open-source project does raise the following question: does it mean our code is less secure? In short – no. LESS IS NOT MORE In the world of security, cyber or otherwise, information is often king: the less information others have, the more secure you are. Applying this logic to the open vs. source code debate, the basic assumption is that closed-source is more secure because it isn’t directly accessible to cyber attackers. However, this assumption is incorrect – primarily because attackers don’t actually need the source code to find security vulnerabilities. This doesn’t mean the source code can be removed from the security conversation, only that it isn’t as critical an element you might assume. In addition, a skilled cyber attacker can reverse-engineer a closed-source code by a number of known tools and methods if needed, meaning that just keeping the code hidden is not a guarantee of security. It’s also important to note that being open means being more aware of your vulnerabilities and taking the necessary steps to ensure your security. These vulnerabilities can be less obvious to closed-source software, and it can be easy for its engineers to assume being closed is, by itself, a security measure, and that additional security measures are more optional than a requirement. In other words, closed-source software can get too comfortable with its closed nature. It’s for this very reason that we conduct periodic third-party security assessments, such as the recent testing performed on RutOS by NTT Security Holdings. MORE IS MORE Open-source software has a significant security benefit closed-source does not: public security. To put it simply, since open source is widely available and used, more people in the industry have the incentive to continuously ensure its security. When everyone can see the treasure, more eyes are watching for anyone trying to steal it. Vincent Rijmen, a developer of the Advanced Encryption Standard encryption algorithm, explains that open source is better for more easily spotting and fixing security vulnerabilities, “Not only because more people can look at it, but, more importantly, because the model forces people to write more clear code, and to adhere to standards. This in turn facilitates security review.” A good example of this is the Open Source Security Foundation , a cross-industry organization committed to advancing open-source security for all. Such initiatives make it so it isn’t only the source code that’s openly available, but also the tools, services, training, infrastructure, and resources needed for its security. EFFORT BEYOND CODES Security is only one of the reasons we chose to base our software on OpenWRT. Teltonika Networks’ Head of Security, Deividas Vyšniauskas, explains it best: “Stability, performance, and flexibility were also key deciding factors, as well as a positive reputation among network and security engineers alike. From that starting point, the deviation was necessary, as we wanted to create a versatile firmware with many capabilities that will meet all sorts of industry needs.” In summary, the security of open-source software isn’t a function of whether its code is open-source or closed-source. Neither type of code, by itself, are a guarantee of anything. Rather, it’s the circumstance and open nature of open-source code that drives the increased collective efforts to keep it secure. More hands work with it, and so more hands care about it. This very much resonates with us, as Teltonika Networks is founded upon the principle of connectivity for the progress of all – by all. Our software is based on open code, and we’re not merely confident in its security. We’re proud of it. LIKE THIS STORY? Share it with friends! Facebook X (Twitter) LinkedIn Copy link GOT A QUESTION?

As different subsets of the manufacturing sector mature for the use of 5G networks, with some already benefitting from it, understanding the ins and outs of 5G digitization is key. Teltonika Networks recently hosted a joint webinar with Ericsson that dived deep into this topic. Our Operational Marketing Project Executive, Pranas Aksamitauskas, and Ericsson’s Device Ecosystem Director, Micael Hermansson, discussed the limitations of 4G networks in manufacturing and the rapid adoption of 5G networks. The webinar was recorded, so you can watch it now! But if you prefer reading into the topic in more detail, this article will do exactly that. THE LIMITATIONS OF 4G NETWORKS IN MANUFACTURING As Micael explained in the webinar, the need for 5G digitization begins with the limitations of 4G in meeting the sector’s growing demand for automation, remote capabilities , throughput, and enhanced security. To meet this demand, a network must deliver on three core elements. 1. Reliable Low Latency Manufacturing requires reliable low latency, as even a slight delay can result in lost productivity, increased costs, and reduced efficiency. For example, in an assembly line, a delay in the transfer of product specifications or production data can lead to bottlenecks and downtime, which can be costly for the company. A reliable network with low latency helps ensure that data is transferred quickly and efficiently, minimizing delays and downtime. This enables manufacturing companies to operate their facilities at maximum capacity and improve overall productivity. 2. Maximum Coverage Maximum coverage is also important in manufacturing, where machines and systems are often spread out over a large area. A network with maximum coverage ensures that all machines and systems can be connected to the network, regardless of their location. This is essential for monitoring and controlling production processes remotely and ensuring that machines and systems are operating efficiently. Additionally, maximum coverage is important for supporting mobile devices, such as tablets and smartphones, which are increasingly used in manufacturing for data collection and analysis. A network with maximum coverage ensures that employees can access the network from anywhere in the facility, improving efficiency. 3. Secure and Flexible Network Manufacturing companies deal with sensitive information, such as intellectual property, product specifications, and customer data, on a daily basis. As a result, a secure network is critical to protecting this valuable information . A secure network helps prevent unauthorized access, data breaches, and cyberattacks, which can have serious consequences for the company's reputation, financial stability, and even legal liability. In addition, a flexible network is essential in manufacturing, where changes in production processes and requirements are common. A flexible network can adapt to changes in demand, capacity, and workflow – allowing the company to quickly respond to market conditions and customer needs. While 4G networks can provide some of these benefits, they are not designed to handle the growing demands of a modern manufacturing facility. 4G networks have limited bandwidth and high latency and are prone to network congestion, which can lead to dropped connections and slow data transfer speeds. This can have a significant impact on productivity and efficiency. ENTER: 5G DIGITIZATION 5G digitization refers to the process of using 5G networks and digital technologies to transform industries and businesses. 5G digitization involves the use of advanced digital technologies such as AI, machine learning, IoT, cloud computing, and edge computing to enable new applications and services. If 4G can no longer meet the demand for automation, remote capabilities, throughput, and enhanced security, let’s see what 5G brings to the table for the same three core elements. 1. Reliable Low Latency 5G digitization provides reliable low latency by using technologies such as edge computing and network slicing. Edge computing enables data processing to be performed closer to the source, reducing the time it takes for data to travel across the network. Network slicing enables the creation of dedicated network slices for specific applications or users, ensuring that each slice has the appropriate Quality of Service (QoS) parameters for low latency. For example, in an assembly line, the use of edge computing and network slicing can reduce the latency between machines and systems, improving overall productivity and efficiency . 2. Maximum Coverage 5G digitization provides maximum coverage by using technologies such as small cells and massive MIMO. Small cells are low-power, short-range radio access points that can be placed throughout a manufacturing facility to provide coverage in areas where traditional cell towers cannot reach. Massive MIMO is a technology that uses multiple antennas to transmit and receive signals, improving coverage and capacity. For example, in a large manufacturing facility, small cells can be placed throughout the facility to provide coverage in areas where traditional cell towers cannot reach. Massive MIMO can be used to improve coverage and capacity in areas with high network traffic, such as production lines or warehouses. 3. Secure and Flexible Network 5G digitization enables manufacturing companies to create a secure and flexible network by using virtualization and network slicing technologies. Network slicing enables the creation of virtual networks that are tailored to specific applications or users, providing a high level of security and flexibility. For example, a manufacturing company can create a dedicated network slice for a specific production line, with its own QoS parameters and security protocols. This ensures that sensitive production data is protected, while also allowing for changes to be made to the network quickly and easily. In addition, virtualization allows multiple virtual networks to run on the same physical infrastructure, improving resource utilization and reducing costs. This enables manufacturing companies to create a network that is both secure and flexible, while also being cost-effective. EXAMPLES OF MANUFACTURING USE CASES UTILIZING 5G Teltonika Networks is no stranger to manufacturing IIoT use cases , especially ones involving Industry 4.0. In the webinar with Ericsson, Pranas presented two use cases that showcase how 5G benefits manufacturing. 1. Boring and Milling Equipment Connectivity The first use case came from a Teltonika Networks client that manufactures horizontal boring and milling machines. These machines are equipped with our TRB500 5G industrial gateway , which enables remote control and support capabilities. These allow an engineer to manage or provide support to multiple machines at once without being in the same physical location as the machines. This is far more efficient than what a 4G network could offer. The lower latency, reduced downtime, improved reliability, and real-time communication provided by the TRB500’s 5G network helped save a great deal of time and operational costs. 2. Smart Factory Connectivity The second use case is more complicated. In automated IoT solutions, machinery and equipment are connected together into one functioning system. This requires more connected devices and a growing scale of automation in order for the manufacturing process to increase not only in efficiency and output – but also in size. For such an autonomous system, 4G speed simply isn’t enough. Luckily, 5G networks can transfer data up to 100 times faster. This means smart manufacturing devices can communicate with each other in real time, which enables faster decision-making and response time. The lower latency of a 5G network allows for more precise and efficient control of the manufacturing process, while 5G network capacity lets you expand the scale of connected devices and, as such, of your manufacturing operations. In this particular use case, the TRB500 provided connectivity to moving equipment such as autonomous vehicles. Meanwhile, our RUX50 industrial 5G router provided connectivity to the stationary parts of the system, such as assembly line robot arms. CONCLUSION 5G technology offers significant benefits to the digitalization of manufacturing processes, including faster and more reliable communication between devices and machines, real-time coordination and control of manufacturing processes, and improved productivity and efficiency. By utilizing 5G networks, manufacturers can optimize their operations, reduce costs, and stay competitive in a rapidly-changing business landscape. Choosing the right 5G networking device and connectivity solution is no easy task, but this process can be simplified with the right partners.

Your networking solutions deserve the best. That’s why we launched the latest network operating system updates! Read to know more. More News 1/28/2026 Meet Altos: The Wi-Fi 7 Router Invited to Your Living Room 1/21/2026 Managed vs unmanaged switches: choose the right fit 1/20/2026 Password Security Standards – Best Practices to Protect your Devices RUTOS 7.06: ENHANCED OS FOR YOUR NETWORKING SOLUTIONS 16 January 2024 Liquid gold is exciting, but have you explored the glory of digital gold, like Teltonika Networks’ operating system, RutOS? This gold is unique. Based on OpenWrt , RutOS is an in-house software developed by our R&D, enhancing Teltonika Networks routers, gateways, and wireless access points to serve your networking solutions. And it just got more feature-rich. Part of what makes Teltonika Networks devices so good is their software capabilities. Our R&D is constantly refining and enhancing its performance in the digital realm, tailoring it to our clients' networking solutions. Therefore, it’s important that RutOS 7.06 not only aligns with the IoT market trends but also includes the features you need the most. We always take time to polish and elevate existing features and functions of RutOS, such as updating the kernel version as well as implementing updates and safeguards against global security vulnerabilities within the market . However, there’s no denying that brand-new additions are the most exciting. So, let’s have a look at what the 7.06 version brings to the table. A BUNDLE OF THE NEW AND EXCITING Tailscale VPN With RutOS 7.06, you can now enhance your networking solution’s security with the Tailscale virtual private network (VPN), located at the ‘Package Manager’ window for download. Tailscale is an extremely easy VPN network to install, ensuring your local traffic stays local and its safety isn’t negotiable. This is a great VPN option for those in the enterprise sector or requiring remote, continuous monitoring of IoT solutions. Tailscale VPN provides a user-friendly approach for managing secure networks. Such networks can be easily scaled and controlled remotely, ensuring low-latency connections for efficient operation. Increased OverIP security Another security addition has been integrated within the OverIP functionality, relevant for all clients using devices with RS232 or RS485 interfaces. With OverIP, our networking devices become a communication intermediary over a computer network that’s responsible for transmitting serial data from one point to another. RutOS 7.06 provides a way to increase OverIP’s security with the Transport Layer Security ( TLS ) protocol for IP connections. Essentially, the TLS protocol encrypts every data travelling within your network chain and its integrity. Operator whitelisting and blacklisting Ensuring that your networking solution receives access to the Internet is a no-brainer, but there’s more to it that must be considered, including your mobile operator and the myriad of nuances that come with mobile IoT solutions. Whether you need to ensure your network’s security, reliability, or best cost-to-effectiveness ratio when the solution is moving across different regions or countries, having control over mobile connectivity is what you need to look for. RutOS 7.06 previously offered this type of connectivity control in the form of operator whitelisting and blacklisting. However, it was limited by list entries having to be set individually. With the new version, you can instantly block all operators of one country, while leaving them accessible in the other. This way, you can easily minimise mobile data costs or roaming charges, prevent security vulnerabilities, or experience operational inefficiency. Server mode in OPC UA It’s been just a bit over a year since we first implemented the OPC UA protocol support in our RutOS, with its ability to function in client mode only. With the 7.06 version, RutOS grants you the ability to use OPC UA in server mode too! OPC UA is a protocol tailored for industrial M2M communication, enabling machinery to exchange real-time data. While the client mode initiates a connection with servers to collect data, the server mode enables your networking solution to give information about its particular components when requested. Support for server mode enriches the OPC UA ecosystem, as networking devices can now actively transmit data and services to OPC UA clients whenever they’re being asked to, whereas before, our devices could only request and receive data from servers. A shift from IPv4 to IPv6 The key distinction between IPv4 and IPv6 primarily lies in the format and capacity of the addresses, yet their efficiency is just as crucial. Since IPv6 enhances networking with advanced routing, autoconfiguration, QoS support, and superior security protocols, we brought the convenience of an automatic IPv6 application for your networking solutions. Don’t worry, we’re not abandoning IPv4. Both IPv4 and IPv6 will work simultaneously, just with one new exception. With the release of RutOS 7.06, IPv6 addressing is now automatically enabled by default across all mobile devices and within the LAN of your IoT solutions. This update ensures ease of use of our devices and convenience over configurations. Letting wireless access points talk Well, metaphorically speaking, of course. RutOS 7.06 enables Teltonika Networks RUTX and RUTM-series routers in combination with our TAP200 wireless access point to support both the 802.11.k and 802.11.v protocols at the same time. This allows access points belonging to your networking solutions to communicate with and migrate end devices from one access point to another. This is a great feature that lets you improve your network’s efficiency and performance as well as makes a better Internet surfing experience for end device users. A FEAST FOR YOUR EYES New features, additions, and corrections are great, but what cannot be overlooked is the updated design of RutOS. We shifted to using new icons, sizes, and colours to ultimately elevate user experience and improve accessibility over RutOS functions. We’ve made design changes for mobile and tablet to improve the layout and display of RutOS on these devices. Such updates will make your time spent on RutOS more enjoyable and intuitive, no matter what endpoint device you use to access it. Importantly, we’ve established a clearer display of your networking solution’s mobile connections. Now, it shows whether you’re connected to your usual network or a backup one and any errors the mobile connections experience. This display also shows if the SIM card has been removed from the device. WANT TO KNOW MORE? We’re thrilled about our latest network operating system updates and hope you are as well!
