Benefits

AirLink® Solutions for Vehicle Networking

AirLink highly ruggedized Pro vehicle routers are purpose-built for demanding vehicle applications forming a reliable vehicle area network with support for car Wi-Fi.They are built to handle wide temperature extremes, high vibration and high moisture environments, and are designed to operate directly from vehicle power that typically has wide voltage fluctuations and surges. Beyond their robust build, Pro routers offer VPN security and enable intelligent, secure management with remote, real-time monitoring and expert technical support.

AirLink Pro – Ultimate Routers

For the most demanding applications, Ultimate vehicle routers provide ultimate multi-network 5G and Wi-Fi performance for vehicle area network needs.

The dual independent Wi-Fi 6 antennas of the XR90 make it the ideal car Wi-Fi router for complex deployments such as transit with passenger Wi-Fi applications.

With a single 5X4 MIMO Wi-Fi 6 radio, the XR80 is a good fit for applications where a single Wi-Fi antenna is preferred.
