Semtech AirLink XR90 Gen2 Vehicle Router | Dual 5G | Wi-Fi 6 | 1105218

Description

The Semtech AirLink XR90 Gen2 + WiFi (MPN 1105218) is a rugged, high-performance, multi-network vehicle router engineered specifically for critical mobile applications in public safety, transit, and rail fleets. This supercharged device is purpose-built to deliver “always-on” real-time connectivity with unmatched uplink and downlink speeds, leveraging Data Path Accelerated 5G technology and Dual 4×4 MU MIMO Wi-Fi 6 capabilities. The Gen2 variant ensures peak theoretical performance, with downlink speeds reaching up to 4.5 Gbps and uplink speeds up to 900 Mbps on the 5G cellular radios, ensuring mission-critical data transmission is fast and reliable. The integrated Wi-Fi 6 offers a peak theoretical throughput of 2400 Mbps and supports up to 256 clients, operating across 2.4/5 GHz frequencies with WPA2/WPA3 Enterprise security. The router’s design facilitates simplified set up and usability through AirLink Premium, which includes integrated device management via ALMS (AirLink Management Service) Out-of-Band Management for zero-touch setup and reduced service calls, along with Advanced Mobility Reporting and 24/7 technical support.

The XR90 is a fully integrated solution designed for demanding environments. Its connectivity features extend beyond wireless to include extensive physical interfaces: the dual 5G configuration features four Gigabit Ethernet ports and one 5 Gigabit Ethernet port, alongside a USB 3.1 USB-C port, single/dual RS-232 serial ports (DB9), and five configurable GPIO channels. For tracking and navigation, the router includes a 48 Channel GNSS with Dead Reckoning, and supports CAN bus/OBD-II (J1979)/J1939 protocols. Environmentally, the XR90 is highly robust, encased in a sealed aluminum housing with an IP64 rating, meaning it is protected against dust ingress and splashing water. It is certified to withstand extreme temperatures, operating from -30°C to +70°C, and storage temperatures from -40°C to +85°C. Its durability is further confirmed by MIL-STD-810G compliance for shock, vibration, and thermal shock. Power management is flexible and reliable, accepting an input voltage of 7 to 36 VDC, and includes built-in protection against voltage transients, engine cranking, and load dump, alongside Ignition Sense with time delay shutdown. The comprehensive security features include FIPS 140-2 Level 1 compliant IPsec protocol with IKEv1/IKEv2, robust AES encryption (128/192/256), and WPA2/WPA3 Enterprise security for both Wi-Fi and Ethernet access, ensuring secure and private network communication. The XR90 is an essential component for fleets requiring maximum bandwidth, high-speed failover, and comprehensive network management in challenging mobile conditions.
