AirLink® RV55
Compact Industrial 4G LTE Router
The Semtech AirLink RV55 is a rugged, ultra-low-power 4G LTE router (Cat-4 or Cat-12 variants) built for mission-critical fixed and mobile applications in harsh or remote environments. It delivers reliable connectivity (up to 600 Mbps DL / 150 Mbps UL in Cat-12 models) with optional Wi-Fi 5 and GNSS, while consuming minimal power, making it perfect for solar/battery-powered deployments in utilities, SCADA, oil & gas, precision agriculture, public safety, and critical infrastructure. Featuring IP64-rated metal construction, industrial-grade durability (-40°C to +70°C, MIL-STD-810G), dual SIM redundancy, advanced edge processing, robust security, and included AirLink Complete cloud management, the RV55 ensures secure, cost-effective, and easily managed LTE performance for demanding IoT and enterprise use cases.
Ultra Low Power 4G Router
The Semtech AirLink RV55 is a compact, rugged industrial-grade 4G LTE router optimized for mission-critical fixed and mobile applications in harsh or remote environments. It provides reliable primary or backup connectivity with ultra-low power consumption, making it ideal for solar/battery-powered deployments where traditional power sources are unavailable or costly.
Available in LTE Cat-4 (up to 150 Mbps DL / 50 Mbps UL) or LTE-A Pro Cat-12 (up to 600 Mbps DL / 150 Mbps UL) variants, the RV55 features optional dual 1×1 Wi-Fi 5 (dual-band 2.4/5 GHz), 1x Gigabit Ethernet, single/dual serial (RS-232), GNSS for precise location tracking, and dual SIM slots for redundancy/failover. It supports advanced networking (NAT, VLAN, QoS, policy routing), VPN (IPsec/GRE/OpenVPN), stateful firewall, and edge processing capabilities.
The RV55 is built tough with an IP64-rated sealed metal enclosure, MIL-STD-810G compliance for shock/vibration/thermal/humidity, wide temperature range (-40°C to +70°C), and vehicle-grade power resilience (7–36 VDC input, low voltage disconnect, ignition sense, transient protection up to +200 VDC/-600 VDC). It is FirstNet Trusted (select models) and carrier-approved for public safety, utilities, oil & gas, precision agriculture, SCADA/metering, and critical infrastructure.
Management is simplified via AirLink Complete (1-year included): cloud-based AirLink Management Service (ALMS) for remote monitoring/configuration/firmware updates, 24/7 support, hardware warranty extension (up to 5 years), and critical updates through at least 2029+. Optional AirLink Premium adds advanced reporting and advance replacement.
