Compact LTE Router for IoT Applications
The AirLink® LX40 is a compact LTE and LTE-M / NB-IoT router for IoT/M2M
applications, offering “out-of-the box” connectivity that is simple to install, and easy
to manage.
LX40 provides purpose-built, secure, managed LTE networking for applications such
as Camera, Security, Point-of-Sale terminals and Smart Lockers. LX40 is also ideal
for connecting industrial, remote data logging and sensing equipment in protected
(indoor) locations, and enables processing of IoT data at the edge.
As part of the AirLink Essential series, the LX40 is designed to meet the
environmental and performance requirements of these applications, while
delivering superior reliability and uninterrupted operation in fixed, indoor and
protected outdoor environments.
LX40 is available with optional Wi-Fi with Dual Band 802.11ac to provide an access
point or to connect to local Wi-Fi networks.
