Public safety agencies in the UK can now deploy
AirLink® XR Series routers to connect vehicle fleets on the
Emergency Services Network
Sierra Wireless (NASDAQ: SWIR) (TSX: SW), a world leading IoT
solutions provider, today announced that its AirLink® XR Series
cellular routers architected for high performance 4G LTE and 5G
connectivity, the XR90, XR80 and XR80 LTE, are certified and
approved for use on the UK’s Emergency Services Network (ESN). The
company is a trusted provider of public safety solutions and
currently serves hundreds of organizations in the United
States.
The ESN will be the future platform for communications in the UK
for emergency services and is expected to serve 300,000 frontline
emergency service users and connect up to 45,000 vehicles. The
network will transmit fast, safe and secure voice, video and data
across commercially available 4G networks in the UK giving first
responders immediate access to life-saving data, images and
information in live situations and emergencies on the frontline.
Emergency services will benefit from priority network use, ensuring
first responders can share vital information and expertise quickly
and securely from the frontline when it’s needed most.
Sierra Wireless’ XR90 router is purpose-built for mobile
mission-critical applications, such as those in public safety
including law enforcement, fire, ambulance/EMS applications, as
well as critical communications including utilities and private
networking. Along with the XR80, and XR80 LTE Cat 20 built for
fixed and mobile applications such as in public safety and field
service fleets, the three routers make up Sierra’s XR Series
Solutions. These solutions deliver the full performance of 4G and
extensive UK cellular coverage for the UK’s ESN, as well as 5G to
provide technology future proofing and serve high data application
requirements across any network (4G, 5G, Wi-Fi 6, Ethernet).
The Sierra Wireless AirLink® XR80 LTE Cat 20 Solution
For businesses and organizations looking for a smooth and simple
migration path to 5G, Sierra Wireless offers the AirLink® XR80 LTE
Cat 20 cellular network router. LTE Cat 20 offers the highest
performance 4G in the market, and the AirLink XR80 LTE Cat 20
delivers on that high-speed connectivity. It is designed to operate
in harsh environmental conditions, making it perfect for both fixed
and mobile applications in public safety. With its simple design,
it also allows users to easily add 5G functionality in the future
with a 5G expansion cartridge.
Optimized for Public Safety Applications
The high performance AirLink® XR Series routers enable secure,
reliable two-way communication between public safety workers in the
field and their dispatch centers. The routers help to increase the
safety and efficiency of mobile assets and their workforce with
real-time video and data transfer, while integrating with onboard
systems and improving responsiveness and teamwork through improved
real-time communications. The XR Series can also help to improve
inter-organizational communication during emergencies or natural
disasters by helping provide real-time data and situational
analysis information. With AirLink’s advanced VPN, communications
between vehicles and depots are kept secure.
“For more than 25 years, Sierra Wireless has been delivering
secure and high-performing cellular networking solutions for public
safety applications, to ensure that emergency services and first
responders have the tools they need to keep communities safe,” said
Tom Mueller, Vice President of Product Enterprise Networking,
Sierra Wireless. “The ESN-certified XR Series routers are purpose
built for mission-critical environments, ensuring high reliability,
and giving public safety agencies real-time access to the critical
data they need to guarantee an effective emergency response. More
than half of the top 100 police departments and three quarters of
the emergency medical services (EMS) systems in the United States
already rely on and trust our solutions.”
Solution Portfolio
The XR Series is designed for operational simplicity. The unique
LPWA Out-of-Band Management provides zero-touch set up, reduces
service calls, and enables fleet-wide security and firmware updates
via AirLink Complete – an
annual service that includes the AirLink Management Service’s cloud
software (ALMS) to manage the routers, access to technical support,
and an extended warranty.
Further, the routers are ideal for data-intensive and
time-sensitive use cases. Powered by AirLink OS, the XR Series
routers ensure connection to the best-performing network, at the
right time. This is achieved through Sierra Wireless’ Cognitive
Wireless, a patented technology that automatically switches to the
best available network in less than a second.
Both the AirLink® XR90 and the XR80 routers are available to
order from Sierra Wireless’ global network of partners, including
UK and European distributor Westbase.io and its network of
resellers.
