Today’s global businesses are rapidly undergoing a digital
transformation by connecting their equipment, offices and stores to
deliver service-oriented business models that increase efficiency,
revenue and customer satisfaction. AirLink LX40 is purpose-built to
enable this transformation, providing LTE and optional Wi-Fi
connectivity, combined with trusted AirLink networking, routing and
security. Sierra Wireless also provides a complete portfolio of
AirLink Network Management tools, available in the cloud or on
premises, for remote monitoring, configuration and control of all
connected AirLink routers and gateways. With LX40, businesses can
rapidly and confidently deploy high-volume IoT applications that
easily scale from tens to tens of thousands of networking
devices.
AirLink LX40 also enables IoT edge programmability, supporting
the field-proven ALEOS Application Framework for embedded
applications, as well as tightly integrated cloud services and
APIs. These features, combined with LTE-M/NB-IoT connectivity and a
rich set of I/O options for data acquisition and sensor
aggregation, enable critical data to be processed at the edge to
drive application insight and create event-driven situational
awareness, while optimizing data transmission. LTE-M/NB-IoT support
also provides five to 10X enhanced coverage in remote locations or
buildings, while reducing monthly data plan costs by up to 10X.
“Enterprises are gathering business intelligence by deploying
IoT solutions over a diverse range of locations and assets, from
security cameras in a warehouse to manufacturing equipment on a
factory floor,” said Jason Krause, Senior Vice President and
General Manager, Enterprise Solutions, Sierra Wireless. “AirLink
LX40 represents the evolution of our router portfolio, starting
with the LX60, to bring the same secure connectivity experience as
our rugged performance portfolio, but in an even more compact form
factor that is optimized for enterprise IoT applications.”
AirLink LX40 is part of Sierra Wireless’ new AirLink Essential
Series of routers and gateways. It is available in two variants:
LTE-M/NB-IoT (up to 300 Kbps downlink) for enhanced coverage and
LTE Cat-4 (up to 150Mbps downlink) for higher throughput. The LX40
features a single Gigabit Ethernet port to provide primary LTE
connectivity, with support for PoE (Power-over-Ethernet), which
further simplifies installation. The available I/O port and
built-in embedded application framework allow for simple machine
connectivity and edge processing. The LTE Cat-4 variant is
available with an optional Wi-Fi feature, making it ideal as a
hotspot or to access building Wi-Fi infrastructure.
Pricing & Availability
AirLink LX40 models are priced at $349 for LTE-M/NB-IoT, $399
for LTE Cat-4 and $449 for LTE Cat-4 with Wi-Fi. LX40 LTE Cat-4
variants are sampling in August 2018 with commercial availability
beginning in September 2018. LTE-M/NB-IoT variants are sampling in
