Architected for next-generation mission and
business-critical applications that require the highest 5G
performance and end-to-end security
Sierra Wireless (NASDAQ: SWIR) (TSX: SW), a world leading IoT
solutions provider, today announced that its AirLink® XR Series
cellular routers architected for 5G performance, the XR90 and the
XR80, are certified to operate on T-Mobile’s 5G network - the
largest, fastest and most reliable in the United States.
Sierra Wireless’ XR90 router is purpose-built for mobile
mission-critical applications, such as those in public safety and
transit including law enforcement, utility, private networking,
fire, ambulance/EMS, bus, and rail applications. Along with the
XR80, built for fixed and mobile applications in public safety and
field service fleets, SCADA and industrial IoT applications, the
two routers make up Sierra’s XR Series Solutions. These solutions
deliver the full performance of 5G across any network (5G, Wi-Fi 6,
Ethernet) enabling customers to leverage the higher data speeds and
lower latency of 5G, required for real-time video streaming in
mission-critical and high performance business-critical
environments.
“The XR Series is our fastest, most intelligent, flexible, and
secure router yet,” said Tom Mueller, Vice President of Product
Enterprise Networking, Sierra Wireless. “The XR Series routers are
purpose-built for advanced, mission and business-critical 5G
applications. With a passively cooled industrial design,
future-proof flexibility offering single and dual 5G as well as
Wi-Fi 6 radio options, always-on connectivity, rapid response, and
strong multi-layered end-to-end security, they boast best-in-class
reliability. When you combine this performance with T-Mobile’s
industry-leading 5G network, it’s easy to see why you should choose
Sierra Wireless to enable your next-generation applications.”
Transforming Connectivity with 5G
5G’s higher data speeds, lower latency and higher device
capacity is set to transform the market. Recent research by
McKinsey states that “this next generation of wireless connectivity
supports a 100-fold increase in the number of simultaneous
connections while improving speed (100 times faster than LTE/4G),
latency, and reliability (an improvement from 20 milliseconds to
less than one millisecond with 99.99% reliability). With either
high-band or low- to mid-band 5G reaching up to 80 percent of the
global population by 2030, enhanced coverage and speed of
connections across long and short distances will enable new
services, business models, and next-generation customer
experiences.”
Architected for 5G Performance, Operational Simplicity, and
End-to-End Security
Architected for 5G to deliver the highest performance through a
combination of hardware acceleration, data plane architecture, and
software, the XR Series routers were designed for operational
simplicity, from initial set up and configuration with zero-touch
out of the box provisioning, to ongoing management. In addition,
security is designed into the routers with device to cloud security
including secure boot, cryptographic keys, and support for
WPA-3.
Part of the 5G solution portfolio that includes management
software and reporting systems, 24x7 support, routers, antennas,
and accessories, the XR Series is managed by the AirLink Management
System (ALMS), a cloud-based management platform which includes
remote device management and mobility-focused reporting through
AirLink Premium. Additionally, an embedded LPWA cellular radio,
connected through Sierra Wireless Global Connectivity, provides an
always-on out-of-band management link to ALMS. This unique
capability ensures the ongoing operational success of these 5G
deployments.
Enabling Next-Generation Mission and Business-Critical
Applications
Purpose built for mission-critical environments and high
performance business-critical 5G applications, the XR Series
routers improve the performance and reliability of video streaming,
video offload, voice communications and other data-intensive and
time-sensitive use cases, by ensuring that the router connects to
the best-performing network, at the right time. This is achieved
through AirLink OS, which features Cognitive Wireless, Sierra
Wireless’ patented technology that automatically switches to the
best available network in less than a second. In addition, with
dual-5G cellular radios and dual independent 4x4 and 4x5 MIMO Wi-Fi
6 antennas, they are the highest performing, most flexible routers
in the Sierra portfolio. Both routers can accommodate expansion
modules and are purpose-built for rugged environments.
Both the XR90 and the XR80 are available to order from the
global network of Sierra Wireless partners.
