Wireless Introduces Industry’s Highest-Performance, Lowest-Power
Industrial LTE Gateway
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
VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--November 28, 2016--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.
