As of February 22nd, 2022, AT&T, due to ongoing network improvement and 5G service expansion, will phase out its 3G network. This article will describe what steps are necessary to prepare for upcoming changes.

Teltonika Networks 3G devices

While AT&T will shut down its 3G network, Teltonika Networks devices will still work with other 3G service providers. There will be a required firmware upgrade to ensure stability and compatibility with regulation changes.

What actions do I need to take?

Must upgrade the affected devices to the latest firmware before February 22nd, 2022, to avoid service interruptions on AT&T 4G network.

  • For RUTOS capable devices: 07.01.2
  • For RUT9XX legacy users: 06.08.6
  • For RUT24X legacy users: 1.14.5

Latest firmware versions could be found here

Firmware upgrade

These changes require three steps:

  1. Flashing Teltonika Networks device with a new firmware.
  2. Fetching new LTE Modem firmware (20MB size) to Teltonika Networks device. This will happen automatically.
  3. Subsequent automatic update of LTE Modem firmware on your Teltonika device.

After the device firmware upgrade is complete. The automatic LTE Modem firmware update will commence.

WebUI banner will indicate if the LTE Modem upgrade is still in progress or is finished.

  • Do not turn off the device
