Product change notifications (PCN) is way of informing customers of upcoming changes related to Teltonika products. This includes outward appearance adjustments, hardware improvements, changes to package contents, etc.
This page stores information regarding changes made to the RUTM56 device. Below you will find a list of both upcoming and already implemented changes sorted from newest to oldest (top to bottom).
2026.07.20: SDK Changes
With the release of RutOS version 7.25 in 2026 Q4, changes will be introduced to the Software Development Kit (SDK) used for firmware compilation on RUTM56 devices.
PCN Number: PCN_RUTM56_SDK Changes_2026.07.20
Change description
Change type
Software change (SDK structure and build system)
Detailed description
Starting with RutOS version 7.25, the Software Development Kit (SDK) used for compiling device firmware will be updated and migrated to a new build system and SDK structure.
This change affects customers who use the SDK to develop and compile custom firmware images. Existing custom SDK-based solutions may no longer be directly compatible with the updated SDK structure and tooling.
Customers intending to compile firmware based on RutOS version 7.25 or newer will need to adapt their custom SDK solutions to align with the new SDK structure and compilation system.
Devices running standard Teltonika firmware images without custom SDK usage are not affected by this change.
Change reasons
To migrate the firmware compilation process to a build system and SDK structure that is better aligned with internal development requirements and long-term maintenance goals.

Risk assessment
SDK compatibility risk: Customers using custom SDK-based firmware solutions will need to modify and adapt their existing SDK integrations to be compatible with the new SDK structure introduced in RutOS 7.25.
Compilation impact: Existing custom build scripts, tools, or workflows may no longer function without changes when compiling firmware based on RutOS 7.25 or newer.
No impact on standard users: Customers using official Teltonika firmware images without SDK customization are not affected by this change.
Operational continuity: Devices already deployed in the field remain fully operational and are not impacted unless a firmware recompilation using the updated SDK is required.
Suggested implementation plan
Customers using the SDK for custom firmware development should review and adapt their existing SDK solutions to the updated SDK structure before migrating to RutOS version 7.25 or newer.
It is recommended to validate custom firmware builds in a test environment prior to deployment.
For additional guidance regarding SDK changes and adaptation, please contact your sales representative or Teltonika support.

2025.08.25: Updated enclosure design
Starting from Q3 2025, the enclosure of RUTM56 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 Q3 2025. During this period, your shipments of RUTM56 may consist of either the current or the new enclosure as described above.

2025.08.21: eSIM Bootstrap capability
Starting from 2026 Q1, RUTM56 eSIM will include a bootstrap profile, which enables the download of an initial operational eSIM profile without requiring an additional internet connection.
Change Notification!
As of 2025-11-24 an additional revision has been made to this PCN document: previous change date of 2025 Q4 was revised an is now 2026 Q1
As of 2025-09-03, a revision has been made to this PCN document: clarification added that Bootstrap functionality is officially supported from firmware version RUTM_R_00.07.17.2 or newer.
PCN Number: PCN_RUTM56_esim_bootstrap_2025.08.21
Change description
Change type
eSIM service enhancement
Detailed description
• Addition of bootstrap profile to eSIM
• Automated SIM switching functionality when no physical SIM is present and bootstrap profile is active
• 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
Suggested implementation plan
Information included in this PCN will help adapt to the upcoming changes. Learn more eSIM Bootstrap. For more detailed information, please contact your sales representative.

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.
