TELTONIKA TRB143 M-Bus Cellular Gateway

The Teltonika TRB143 M-Bus Cellular Gateway is an industrial gateway designed for telemetry and utility monitoring. It integrates an M-Bus interface that supports up to 250 client devices, offers cellular (4G/LTE Cat 4, 3G, 2G) and wired connectivity via a Gigabit Ethernet port, and includes digital input/output lines. The device is built in a rugged aluminum housing with an IP30 rating and features an external SMA antenna for reliable data transmission in various environments.

Advantages

The TRB143 combines an integrated M-Bus interface with cellular and Ethernet connectivity, enabling remote collection of meter and sensor data. Its support for up to 250 M‑Bus clients, ARM Cortex‑A7 processing, common network protocols (TCP, UDP, MQTT) and Gigabit Ethernet ensures scalable and efficient data handling. The compact steel/aluminum enclosure and external SMA antenna simplify installation and improve signal reliability for 4G mobile networks.

Suitable for

• Remote utility meter reading and telemetry
• Environment and infrastructure monitoring
• Data aggregation from multiple M‑Bus sensors
• Industrial sites requiring cellular failover or primary connectivity
