High-Performance Multi-Network 5G/WiFi Router for Public Safety, Field Service Fleets, and Mission-Critical Fixed Applications
The Semtech AirLink XR80 is a high-performance, expandable 5G multi-network router optimized for mission-critical fixed and mobile applications in public safety, field service fleets, transit, utilities, and industrial IoT. It features single or dual 5G cellular radios (Gen1 up to 4.14 Gbps DL / 660 Mbps UL; Gen2 up to 4.5 Gbps DL / 900 Mbps UL theoretical) with LTE Cat-20 fallback, optional 5×4 MU-MIMO Wi-Fi 6 (up to 2.4 Gbps), and a cartridge-based design for future upgrades like additional 5G modems.
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 supports demanding environments with advanced GNSS (48-channel with dead reckoning), CAN bus/OBD-II/J1939, multiple GPIO, USB 3.1 Type-C, and Ethernet configurations (single 5G: 3x RJ45 including 5 Gbps; dual 5G: 4x RJ45). Security includes device-to-cloud protection, stateful firewall, IPsec VPN, and out-of-band management via LPWA.
AirLink OS powers intelligent features like Cognitive Wireless, QoS, policy routing, and edge computing readiness, while AirLink Complete (1-year included) provides cloud management (ALMS), 24/7 support, extended warranty (up to 5 years), and critical firmware updates through at least 2029+.
- Single or Dual 5G Connectivity Supports one or two 5G modems (up to 4.5 Gbps DL / 900 Mbps UL in Gen2) — delivers blazing-fast speeds and true redundancy for mission-critical applications that cannot tolerate downtime.
- Cartridge-Based Expandability Modular design allows easy addition of future 5G modems or technologies — future-proofs investment and extends product life without replacing the entire router.
- Optional Wi-Fi 6 5×4 MU-MIMO Wi-Fi 6 (up to 2.4 Gbps) creates a powerful local network in vehicles or sites — supports high-density device connectivity (cameras, laptops, tablets, sensors) with low latency.
- Rugged Industrial/Vehicle Durability IP64-rated sealed aluminum housing, MIL-STD-810G compliance, wide -30°C to +70°C range — built to withstand extreme shock, vibration, dust, water, and temperature in harsh mobile and fixed environments.
- Advanced GNSS with Dead Reckoning Multi-constellation GNSS + inertial navigation ensures accurate positioning even in tunnels, urban canyons, or covered areas — critical for fleet tracking, public safety, and navigation.
- High-Speed Interfaces Gigabit + 5 Gbps Ethernet ports, USB 3.1 Type-C, serial options, multiple GPIO — supports demanding wired and peripheral connections for video, DVRs, and industrial equipment.
- Unbreakable Connectivity Semtech Cognitive Wireless, intelligent failover, load balancing, and out-of-band management via LPWA — maintains links across multiple networks for zero-downtime performance.
- Enterprise-Grade Security Device-to-cloud security, stateful firewall, IPsec VPN, secure boot/firmware — protects sensitive data and critical operations in public safety, utilities, and fleet environments.
