Staying on top of your networking devices—no matter where they’re deployed—isn’t just a luxury, it’s a necessity. Whether you’re managing a fleet of industrial routers across a supply chain or monitoring connectivity at remote retail locations, Teltonika Networks’ Remote Management System (RMS) offers a centralized and secure way to do it all.
Now with RMS 5.0, the platform takes a significant leap forward. The latest release introduces real-time visibility into collected sensor parameters and—perhaps most exciting—the ability to control third-party equipment directly through RMS. And if you’re interested in seeing the new tools in action, Teltonika is launching public webinars later this month.
What exactly is RMS though, and why should you care? Let’s review and break down the details.
What is RMS?
Teltonika’s Remote Management System is a secure, cloud-based platform designed for easy and efficient remote monitoring, configuration, and troubleshooting of Teltonika Networks routers, gateways, and access points. But its capabilities go well beyond managing just Teltonika hardware. Thanks to integrated remote access tools, you can securely connect to PLCs, cameras, point-of-sale systems, or virtually any IP device connected behind a Teltonika router—without needing a public IP.
Choose Your Plan
You can start with a standard RMS plan or tailor it to your unique needs using credits, management packs, and data packs, depending on how long and how extensively you want to use the management system. (Spoiler: you even get 30 days free with most compatible hardware, and up to 24 months with models like the TAP200.)
What’s New in RMS 5.0?
Here’s what’s setting RMS 5.0 apart:
Real-Time Sensor Monitoring
Track sensor data live—directly in the dashboard. This upgrade is perfect for industrial environments where up-to-the-second readings can mean the difference between optimized operations and costly downtime.
Control Third-Party Devices
You’re no longer limited to Teltonika devices. RMS 5.0 introduces control over third-party devices, adding a huge layer of flexibility. Whether it’s a smart meter or a security camera, you can now manage external hardware right from the remote management interface.
Public Webinars Are Coming
Starting later this month, Teltonika will be offering public webinars to help users dive deeper into the latest RMS features. If you’re looking to get ahead of the curve or simply want to see the new Remote Management System in action, these sessions are a great opportunity.

Resource Breakdown: Credits, Packs, and Data
If you’re new to RMS, understanding how usage resources work can help you make the most of the platform.
| Resource Type | What It’s For | Duration |
| Credits | Activates a device for 30 days. Can also be exchanged for data. | 30 days |
| Management Packs | Long-term activation (3, 5, or 10 years) for monitoring/config. | Multi-year |

What About Remote Access?
As it says in the name, Remote Management System allows device-level and LAN-level remote access:
- Configure LAN access to connected equipment behind the router.
- Set destination IPs and ports (e.g., 192.168.1.2:80 for a web GUI).
- Generate secure, temporary access links to reach devices from anywhere.
Need to connect to a camera, terminal, or sensor on-site? Just set it up once, and RMS handles the rest.
