AirLink® XR60
World’s Smallest Rugged 5G Router
The Semtech AirLink XR60 is the world’s smallest rugged 5G router, delivering ultra-compact, high-performance connectivity for space-constrained and harsh environments. It combines blazing-fast 5G (up to 2.8 Gbps downlink / 900 Mbps uplink theoretical), optional Wi-Fi 6, gigabit/5 Gbps Ethernet, and advanced edge capabilities in a sealed aluminum housing — ideal for tight industrial enclosures, fast-moving vehicles, and mission-critical fixed/mobile applications.
AirLink XR60: Ultra-Compact, Rugged 5G Router
The Semtech AirLink XR60 is the world’s smallest rugged 5G cellular router, purpose-built for ultra-compact and harsh environments where space is limited and reliability is non-negotiable. It delivers high-performance 5G connectivity combined with optional Wi-Fi 6, making it ideal for tight industrial enclosures, fast-moving vehicles, mission-critical fixed installations, and edge deployments that demand robust performance without compromise.
Equipped with 5G Sub-6 GHz technology, the XR60 supports advanced networking features, private network integration, and edge computing capabilities through AirLink OS. This allows organizations to future-proof their connectivity, accelerate digital transformation, and support mission-critical applications with seamless, high-speed wireless access. Optional 2×2 MIMO Wi-Fi 6 provides additional flexibility for local device connectivity, while variants offer single serial/single Ethernet (1 Gbps) or dual Ethernet (1 Gbps + 5 Gbps) configurations, plus dual-band GNSS for precise positioning.
The XR60 features an IP64-rated sealed aluminum enclosure for superior protection against dust, water, shock, vibration, and extreme temperatures. Backed by AirLink Complete, it includes 5 years of hardware warranty, 24/7 technical support, secure remote management, and ongoing firmware updates to ensure long-term network optimization and uptime.
Compact, rugged, and powerful, the AirLink XR60 brings true 5G performance to the most challenging locations, empowering industries to stay connected and resilient in the era of digital transformation.
