2025.08.25: Updated enclosure design
Starting from Q4 2025, the enclosure of RUTM54 devices will be replaced with a new single-piece anodized design.
The updated enclosure is now made from a single piece instead of two separate parts.
Casing dimensions remain unchanged, but the depth and location of the grooves are different. See the images below for exact placement.
Engraving will be used instead of stickers for markings.
The new enclosure will be anodized instead of painted. Please note that this change will be implemented gradually, throughout a 3-month transitional period starting from Q4 2025. During this period, your shipments of RUTM54 may consist of either the current or the new enclosure as described above.

• Device with active bootstrap profile will have access only to RMS (Remote Management System) with limited functionality and SM-DP server for downloading operational profile
• Bootstrap profile has a 10 MB mobile data limit
• Bootstrap profile is valid for 1 year, starting from the manufacturing date of the device
Read the following eSIM Bootstrap guide to familiarize yourself with the functionality.
Bootstrap functionality is officially supported from firmware version RUTM_R_00.07.17.2 or newer.
Change reasons
Simplified eSIM activation process and improved provisioning automation

Risk assessment
• Device initial provisioning workflows may require review or adjustment to account for the presence of a bootstrap profile
• Installation procedures or automated deployment tools may need to be updated if they rely on predefined SIM behavior
• Automatic SIM switching will be enabled only on devices shipped with a pre-installed bootstrap profile — existing devices with eSIM but no bootstrap profile will not exhibit any behavioral changes
• Devices manufactured over 12 months prior to activation may be unable to use the bootstrap profile due to expiration

2025.04.22: Transition to HTTPS protocol RutOS 7.15
With the release of RutOS version 7.15 in Q2 2025, RUTM54 devices will disable the HTTP protocol and enable HTTPS Redirect by default to enhance WebUI and API communication security.
With the release of RutOS version 7.15 firmware, the device's WebUI and API default communication methods will change. The HTTP protocol will be changed to HTTPS (only) in default configuration for security reasons and complying with security standards. The "HTTPS Redirect" functionality will be enabled by default so all HTTP requests will be automatically redirected through the HTTPS channel.
Change reasons
To enhance security measures and comply with security standards by eliminating unsecured HTTP protocol usage.

Risk assessment
Users may receive a browser warning indicating that the connection is not secure due to the use of a self-signed certificate in HTTPS.
API users may experience issues depending on the tools they use to communicate with the API, as some may not support HTTPS, self-signed certificates or the tooling may have to be reconfigured to adapt to these changes.
Suggested implementation plan
Information included in this PCN will help adapt to the upcoming changes. URL1URL2 For more detailed information, please contact your sales representative.
API users should update their tools and scripts to support HTTPS communication and handle self-signed certificates.

2025.02.25: Mobile and I/O POST/GET Service Removal with RutOS 7.14
With the release of RutOS version 7.14, support for the RUTM54 POST/GET service will be discontinued to enhance security while maintaining device functionality through alternative methods.
With the introduction of RutOS 7.14, the Mobile POST/GET and I/O POST/GET services will be removed from the firmware and will no longer be available in the package manager. These legacy services had security concerns, and their removal ensures a more robust security framework for the device. However, users will still be able to achieve the same functionalities using the device's API, which provides a more secure and efficient way to interact with the system.
Change reasons
Enhanced Security: Removing these services mitigates potential security risks and improves overall system integrity.
Improved API Support: Users can leverage the API for secure and flexible data handling without relying on deprecated methods.
The change aligns with modern security protocols and best practices in remote device management.

2025.02.24: Implementation of Read-Only System Files in RutOS 7.14
With the release of RutOS version 7.14 in Q2 2025, in RUTM54 devices will implement read-only permissions for critical system files by default. The new read-only configuration ensures a more secure and stable environment, though it may affect those who perform non-standard operations.
With the release of RutOS version 7.14, the device’s critical system files will become read-only by default. This prevents unauthorized or accidental modifications that could damage the system’s integrity. Standard users operating within typical parameters should not be affected, while those who rely on direct file alterations will need to adjust their workflows. Custom firmware options are expected to allow reverting to a more flexible configuration if required.
Change reasons
To maintain system integrity, enhance reliability, and prevent unintended damage to core files.
