AirLink® RV50X LTE-Advanced industrial gateway
supports the widest range of LTE bands in its class for the most
challenging industrial and off-grid IoT applications
Sierra Wireless (NASDAQ:SWIR) (TSX:SW), a leading provider of
fully integrated end-to-end solutions for Internet of Things (IoT)
applications, today announced availability of the high-performance
AirLink® RV50X LTE-Advanced industrial gateway. Building on the
success of the RV50, the RV50X is designed to connect critical
infrastructure in utility, energy and smart city applications. It
supports 21 LTE bands worldwide, providing high-speed connectivity
across North America, Europe and Asia Pacific, while retaining the
industry’s lowest power consumption. In addition, the RV50X’s
LTE-Advanced carrier aggregation capabilities maintain high average
data throughput, even at the cell edge or on congested cell
sites.
“The RV50X is a truly global solution that supports an extensive
range of LTE bands and, because of its advanced processing power,
is ideal for customers that want to move intelligence to the
network edge," said Jason Krause, Senior Vice President, Enterprise
Solutions for Sierra Wireless. "It operates with the same ultra-low
power consumption as the RV50 and can be installed directly into
existing infrastructure."
For advanced edge-computing applications, the RV50X’s dual-core
processor, combined with the ALEOS Application Framework (AAF),
provide a powerful embedded programming environment. The
application framework enables easy integration with existing
equipment and sensors, and easy delivery of critical real-time data
and information reliably and securely over LTE networks to the
Sierra Wireless AirVantage® IoT Platform, or to other software
applications and operational systems.
Industrial infrastructure is often unmanned, remote and critical
to business operations. To ensure safety, security and
uninterrupted operation, a remote monitoring and control system is
essential for applications such as SCADA, on pipelines and in power
distribution and intelligent traffic management systems. The
AirLink Management Service (ALMS) provides powerful, cloud-based
remote management for the RV50X, including over-the-air
registration, configuration and software updates, as well as
alerting and monitoring of key variables, such as signal strength,
location, temperature and voltage. For customers requiring a
network and device management application deployed on-premises in
the enterprise data center, Sierra Wireless also offers the AirLink
Mobility Manager (AMM) to remotely configure, manage and monitor
RV50X gateways in the field.
The RV50X offers dual SIM support for automatic failover between
carriers. It ships as a single product variant for North American
and European networks and a single product variant for Asia
Pacific, with support for Australia’s LTE Band 28, simplifying the
ordering and inventory process and providing unmatched flexibility
in managing deployments. Customers can take advantage of the best
network coverage in remote areas without increasing complexity.
