The most rugged and cost-effective LTE-Advanced Pro cellular router you’ll find is the Semtech (Sierra Wireless) AirLink RV55. It connects crucial remote assets, infrastructure, and vehicle fleets. With low-power consumption, industrial-grade construction, and industry certifications, it’s ideal for demanding applications in solar energy, utilities, intelligent transportation, and public safety. Centrally managed, cloud-based tools enable the RV55 to connect fielded systems to your enterprise network. It supports North American mobile networks, CBRS, dedicated Private LTE, and FirstNet.
The RV55, with high-performance LTE-Advanced Pro connectivity, provides Cat 12 speed (600 Mbps downlink and 150 Mbps uplink) for data-intensive networks. The RV55 can function as the primary WAN connection or serve as a secondary or backup WAN should the primary one fail. Optional dual-band 2.4 and 5.0 GHz WiFi functions as an access point or hotspot. The RV55 also features a Gigabit Ethernet port, GPS for location tracking, and a serial interface.
The Semtech AirLink RV55 delivers superior reliability and continuous operation no matter the environment. A wide temperature range allows it to operate in extreme cold and heat. Certified to Class 1 Div 2 for hazardous locations, Mil-STD-810G for shock and vibration, and IP64 for dust and water ingress, the RV55’s ability to bring industrial networking to the harshest settings is real value.
AirLink network management solutions allow remote monitoring, registration, configuration, and firmware updates. These powerful tools are available as a cloud-based service or on-premises to provide a centralized and remote view of systems deploying RV55 routers.
