TRM Modems
“A modem doesn’t provide your home with Wi-Fi connectivity.”
...
-About internet connectivity, you only need to connect modem to desired device with USB cable and install drivers, no further actions are needed.
-Operating system: modem chip Firmware is manufactured by Quectel, and is controlled using AT commands (do not have Graphical User Interface).
TRB Gateways
“A gateway is a device that combines some functions of a modem and a router.”
...
A: Gateways uses yocto with linux as a base.
RUT Routers
They have widest variety. Depending on model one device can support wider variety and bigger number of devices connected, while featuring all previously mentioned capabilities and more, like GPS, multiple ways to connect to the internet (Wired WAN Mobile Connection WiFi Station mode), double sim cards for connection redundancy, they are simply much more universal than Modems and even Gateways.
“ A RUT allows multiple devices like phones, tablets and computers to use a single network through a wired or wireless connection.”
Notes:
Gateways and Routers are both running RutOS just on different Linux architectures, previously mentioned Yocto for Gateways and OpenWRT for Routers,
FAQ
Q: What is the operating system used by the gateways?
A: Router run on RutOS based on OpenWRT, but in near future they both (Routers and Gateways) will be running on RutOS.
...
context of use
Modems are used to provide Internet to a single device but do not able to connect on remote control or data transfer.
Gateways are used to provide control AND connectivity.
For example: If you have a sensor (pressure, temperature, movement etc.) and you need a device that can receive this information, or perform some actions and send data to remote server or some sort of remote program, or send warning to yours phone then you would use gateway.
Routers are mainly focused on connecting multiple devices mostly computers, but depending on router model it can be all kinds of sensors or other machinery to internet.
...
About internet redundancy
The majority of RUT*** series devices support several redundancy techniques like WAN backup, SIM backup, and VRRP that allow to ensure permanent Internet connection.

Q&A
Q: What is the maximum amount of supported SIM?
A: At the moment the maximum amount of supported SIM cards is two.
TRB1**, RUT2** and RUT850 series devices support one SIM card, and RUT9**, RUTX** and TRB2** series devices support two SIMs card.
--
Q: Is it possible to bundle all SIM throughput?
A: It is not possible because only one SIM can be used at a time.
--
Q: How can we increase the speed of a SIM connection?
A: The speed can be increased by improving signal reception and using devices that come with Cat 6 LTE module.
--
Q: What are the management policies of SIM?
A: you can found it: https://wiki.teltonika-networks.com/view/RUTX11_Mobile#SIM_switch
--
Q: Is it possible to chain or cluster throughput of network devices?
A: The bandwidth can be increased only by using several devices that have their own Internet source.
--
Q: Is there any network device with IP (ingress protection) > 30?
A: At the moment there is no network device with IP (ingress protection) > 30. All devices support IP30 rating.
