Description

The Semtech AirLink XR80 Gen2 is a high-performance, multi-network 5G/LTE cellular router designed for critical communication and mobile applications. Engineered for rugged environments, the XR80 Gen2 offers exceptional connectivity and reliability, making it an ideal solution for public safety, transportation, and industrial use cases requiring persistent, high-speed connectivity. The router leverages advanced cellular technology, supporting both 5G (with theoretical peak downlink speeds of up to 4.5 Gbps and uplink speeds of 900 Mbps for the Gen2 variant) and LTE Cat-20 (up to 2 Gbps downlink/210 Mbps uplink). It also includes features like Dual SIM support for enhanced network redundancy and FAKRA RF connectors for robust antenna connections. The platform is designed to maintain connectivity even in challenging conditions, thanks to a wide input voltage range of 7 to 36 VDC, built-in protection against voltage transients, and an Ignition Sense feature with time delay shutdown, ensuring reliable operation in vehicle installations.

In terms of interfaces and physical robustness, the AirLink XR80 Gen2 is equipped with robust networking capabilities, featuring multiple RJ45 Ethernet ports, including at least one 5 Gbps port alongside Gigabit Ethernet ports, facilitating high-bandwidth connections for various devices. For wireless local area networking (WLAN), the router offers optional 5×4 MU MIMO Wi-Fi 6, delivering theoretical peak throughput of up to 2400 Mbps and supporting WPA2/WPA3 Enterprise security for up to 256 clients. The inclusion of a 48-Channel GNSS with Dead Reckoning capability provides accurate location tracking and navigation, crucial for fleet management and asset tracking. Physically, the device is built to withstand harsh conditions, with an operating temperature range of -30°C to +70°C (-22°F to +158°F) and compliance with rigorous military standards, specifically MIL-STD-810G for shock, vibration, thermal shock, and humidity. Furthermore, it boasts an IP64 ingress protection rating, safeguarding against dust and splashing water. This combination of high-speed multi-network connectivity, advanced Wi-Fi technology, precise positioning features, and ruggedized design ensures that the Semtech AirLink XR80 Gen2 remains a powerful and dependable hub for mission-critical mobile networks, with a long mean time between failures (MTBF) of approximately 21.3 years (with WiFi).
