Highest-Performance Multi-Network 5G/WiFi 6 Router for Vehicle, Transit, Rail, and First Responder Fleets
The Semtech AirLink XR90 is a high-performance, expandable dual 5G vehicle router purpose-built for mission-critical mobile applications in public safety, transit, rail, first responders, and field services. It features single or dual 5G radios (Gen1 up to 4.14 Gbps DL / 660 Mbps UL; Gen2 up to 4.5 Gbps DL / 900 Mbps UL theoretical), dual independent 4×4 MU-MIMO Wi-Fi 6 (up to 2.4 Gbps), and a cartridge-based modular design for long-term upgrades and expandability without full replacement.
Rugged with an IP64-rated sealed aluminum housing, MIL-STD-810G compliance, wide -30°C to +70°C operating range, and vehicle-grade power resilience (7–36 VDC, transient protection), it withstands extreme shock, vibration, dust, and temperature in harsh transit environments. Advanced features include 48-channel GNSS with dead reckoning for reliable positioning in tunnels/urban areas, CAN bus/OBD-II/J1939 support, multiple GPIO, USB 3.1 Type-C, Ethernet (single 5G: 3× Gigabit + 1× 5 Gbps; dual 5G: 4× Gigabit + 1× 5 Gbps), and optional serial ports.
Security encompasses full device-to-cloud protection, stateful firewall, IPsec VPN, secure boot/firmware, and out-of-band management via LPWA for always-on remote access. AirLink OS enables Cognitive Wireless for intelligent failover/load balancing, QoS, policy routing, and edge readiness. AirLink Complete (1-year included, often with Premium) provides cloud management (ALMS), 24/7 support, extended warranty (up to 5 years), advanced mobility reporting, and critical updates through at least 2029+.
