Semtech Airlink XR60 World’s Smallest Rugged 5G Router | Dual Ethernet (1 Gbps + 5 Gbps) | Wi-Fi 6 | IP64 Rated | TAA Compliant | 1105233

Description

The Semtech Airlink XR60 Dual Ethernet + WiFi router (MPN 1105233) stands as one of the world’s smallest rugged 5G routers, engineered for high-performance connectivity in space-constrained industrial and vehicular environments. This ultra-compact device is equipped with state-of-the-art technology to future-proof network connectivity, including 5G cellular capabilities, optional 2×2 MIMO Wi-Fi 6, 5 Gbps Ethernet, and USB-C technologies. The dual Ethernet variant, as indicated in the product name, features two RJ45 Ethernet ports (one 1 Gbps and one 5 Gbps), ensuring high-speed wired connectivity options for demanding applications. The inclusion of Wi-Fi 6 offers a theoretical peak throughput of 1200 Mbps, operating on dual bands (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz), and supports up to 32 clients with WPA2/3 Personal and Enterprise security protocols. Its high-performance features are designed to support complex deployments, including edge computing via support for Docker Containerized Applications, utilizing a Quad Core Arm A53 64 bit CPU, 1.2 GB RAM, and 750 MB of flash storage. The router also includes comprehensive security features like a stateful firewall, secure firmware update capabilities, and VPN integration with IPsec protocols, achieving 175 Mbps IPSec VPN TCP throughput.

Designed for resilience, the Airlink XR60 boasts a ruggedized construction with an IP64 rating in a sealed aluminum housing, making it highly suitable for harsh operating conditions. It meets the MIL-STD-810H specification for shock, vibration, thermal shock, and humidity, ensuring reliable operation across a wide temperature range of -40°C to +75°C (-40°F to +167°F), or -30°C to +70°C (-22°F to +158°F) for the Wi-Fi variant. This robustness, coupled with unique power redundancy capabilities and overvoltage/brownout protection, ensures maximum uptime in critical applications. For enhanced situational awareness and tracking, the device includes dual-band 40 Channel GNSS. Furthermore, the router is supported by Semtech’s AirLink Complete service, which typically includes 5 years of hardware warranty, technical support, and secure remote management through the AirLink Management Service (ALMS), facilitating optimized network performance and maintenance. The XR60’s blend of compact size, high-speed interfaces, 5G capabilities (with theoretical peak downlink of 2800 Mbps and uplink of 900 Mbps), and extreme ruggedness makes it an ideal solution for critical infrastructure, public safety, and industrial IoT use cases that require reliable, persistent connectivity.

The flexibility of the XR60 is further demonstrated by its various interfaces beyond cellular and Wi-Fi, including 1 GPIO, and a USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C port that supports power delivery and 5 Gbps LAN networking. This model, being the Dual Ethernet variant, maximizes high-speed wired connection potential. It also includes support for Ignition Sense with time delay shutdown and operates on a wide input voltage range of 7 to 36 VDC. The combination of these features establishes the Semtech Airlink XR60 as a powerful and adaptable choice for modern, data-intensive mobile and fixed applications demanding the highest levels of performance and durability in challenging operational environments.
