LANTRONIX UNVEILS GAME-CHANGING 5G ROUTER, PUSHING BOUNDARIES IN INDUSTRIAL IOT

KUALA LUMPUR, July 18 (Bernama) -- Lantronix Inc, a global provider of compute and connectivity Internet of Things (IoT) solutions, has launched its rugged, industrial-grade 5G router, the NTC-500 Series, aimed at enhancing enterprise mobility and wireless infrastructure.

The launch follows Lantronix’s acquisition of NetComm Wireless and marks a strategic milestone in the company’s global positioning as a leader in industrial and enterprise IoT connectivity.

In a statement, Lantronix said the NTC-500 Series is globally carrier-certified and priced to undercut traditional wired infrastructure, potentially saving enterprises thousands per deployment while maintaining high-speed, low-latency performance.

Its head of industrial IoT products and business line, Daniel Quant said Lantronix has redefined the economics of industrial 5G mobility and critical connectivity.

“The NTC-500 Series delivers a rugged, globally approved 5G solution at a breakthrough price, helping customers accelerate digital transformation, reduce operational costs and future-proof their infrastructure,” he said.

The device supports private 5G applications, including the n48-CBRS, n77 and n78 bands, enabling rapid digitisation of mobile or previously unconnected assets. This facilitates automation and operational agility across industrial and enterprise sectors.

According to ABI Research, the global private 5G market is projected to grow from US$2.7 billion in 2025 to US$29 billion by 2030, driven by increasing adoption in mission-critical industries such as manufacturing and healthcare. (US$1=RM4.23)

Lantronix also announced that the NTC-500 Series was named the 2025 Industrial IoT Product of the Year by IoT Evolution World, in recognition of its innovation and impact.

Built to support large-scale, high-performance deployments, the router incorporates 3GPP Release 16 features, including both 5G Non-Standalone (NSA) and 5G Standalone (SA) modes, 4G-LTE fallback, and Dynamic 5G Slicing capabilities.

Its application spans various sectors, including machine vision, real-time robotics control, smart factories, logistics yards, modular production, and cost-sensitive automation in retail and construction.
