About Industrial IoT DTU / RTU
A DTU is a transparent serial-to-cellular pipe: whatever your meter or PLC speaks on RS232/485 arrives at your server over 4G. An RTU adds intelligence at the edge — local I/O, Modbus polling, threshold alarms and logic that acts even when the network does not. Choosing between them is a workflow question: pure transport, or edge decisions too.
Field reliability is the whole product: watchdog reconnection, store-and-forward caching that backfills data after outages, wide 9–36 V power tolerance and DIN-rail industrial housings. Units ship pre-configured to your APN and platform (MQTT topics or Modbus TCP mapping) so field electricians wire power and serial, and data appears.

Frequently asked questions
Which protocols are supported?
Modbus RTU/TCP, MQTT and transparent TCP/UDP.
Which networks?
4G Cat-1/Cat-4 and NB-IoT.
How are SIMs and data plans handled?
Use your local operator SIMs — we pre-configure APN per your details, or supply units SIM-ready for your team to insert. Data usage guidance per polling rate is in the manual.
What happens to data during network outages?
Store-and-forward caching holds readings in local memory and backfills the server on reconnect, timestamped — no gaps in the historical record.
What minimum order does Industrial IoT DTU / RTU carry?
10 units is the standard starting volume; configuration changes can shift it, so share your numbers and we will confirm.
How is Industrial IoT DTU / RTU priced at volume?
Expect roughly $5–$90 per unit FOB Shenzhen before volume breaks — final pricing follows your exact spec and quantity.
