"Celebrating this release is particularly special for us at
Semtech, formerly Sierra Wireless. The AirLink® XR60 isn't just any
router - it's the next evolution in 5G technology. Rising 5G
adoption is paving the way for a more diverse array of
applications, underlining the need for versatile and
easy-to-install solutions. Our customers, particularly those in
public safety and utilities, have expressed a clear requirement for
routers that aren't just technologically advanced, but are also
small, rugged and reliable under extreme conditions. The XR60
embodies our continued commitment to these sectors, ensuring that
we're not only meeting but exceeding the expectations and demands
of those who rely on us the most," explains Tom Mueller, EVP and GM
of IoT System Products Group at Semtech.
Revolutionary Design Brings 5G to More Places Than Ever
Before
The XR60 builds on the highly rugged AirLink Pro Series design.
Its ultra-compact design facilitates a smooth transition to 5G for
industrial and utility customers who won’t need to redesign
existing installations. It also simplifies deployments in
equipment-filled public safety vehicles.
“With its combination of ruggedness and ultra-compact size, the
XR60 is a game-changer for applications both in challenging
environments and where physical space is limited, including
critical infrastructure, video surveillance, smart cities and
public safety vehicles. This robust yet compact design is what
truly sets the XR60 apart, enabling new possibilities in highly
challenging edge applications,” says David Markland, Vice President
of AirLink Networking Solutions at Semtech.
Advanced Technology Brings High-Performance Connectivity and
Longevity
The AirLink® XR60 sets new standards in broadband performance,
combining 5G, Wi-Fi 6, 5 Gbps Ethernet and USB-C support for
high-speed and efficient local and wide area network data
transfers. This is critical for vehicle applications that demand
low latency for web-apps and high-speed performance for video
streaming, for example.
But the XR60 isn't just about performance; it also embodies
Semtech’s commitment to longevity. This new-generation router —
powered by AirLink® OS — combines 5G performance with modern
networking features like edge computing and Cognitive Wireless,
Semtech’s patented technology for intelligent hot failover and
traffic steering. It also provides extensive support for both
public and private 5G and LTE bands, making it an adaptable
solution for various applications.
“We are excited to integrate the XR60 into our network portfolio
of rugged field proven AirLink products. It will extend and protect
our network investments as carriers migrate their services to 5G,”
explains John Nachilly, Manager of Network Strategy and
Architecture at Eversource.
Network and Security Management
Integrating critical assets into network infrastructure involves
much more than simply deploying routers; it demands a comprehensive
approach to network control and security. The AirLink® XR60
addresses this need by including 1 year of AirLink Complete,
a holistic service package that brings together advanced remote
device and security management via the AirLink Management Service
(ALMS) platform, and peace of mind through 24/7 technical support
and hardware warranty.
To make 5G upgrades even more seamless, Semtech is thrilled to
unveil the AirLink XR60 5-Year Complete Promotion. With this
program, customers that purchase and register an AirLink XR60
router in 2024 will benefit from an extension of their AirLink
