The first embedded enterprise-grade 5G (802.11ac) Wi-Fi IoT (Internet of Things) module for Ethernet devices has been introduced by Alpha Micro Components. The Lantronix PremierWave 2050. This new series of modules is ideal for mission critical enterprise applications that demand rock-solid, uninterrupted 802.11ac Wi-Fi connectivity backed by enterprise-class security.

With the PremierWave 2050, OEMs and systems integrators can be confident customers will maximise the potential of their products by backing them with a rugged, versatile and future-proof wireless network.

The module boasts an extensive feature list that makes it an ideal embedded Wi-Fi module for a huge range of vertical applications, including warehousing and logistics, industrial automation, retail and commercial, healthcare and medical devices, environment monitoring, military, and cargo and public transportation.

Meeting the demands of diverse industries and environments, the module features a comprehensive, production-ready application stack and connection management, plus dual band Wi-Fi in both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, with antenna diversity for seamless coverage in challenging locations. This module also works reliably over a very wide temperature range, from -40°C up to +85°C.

Designed for easy integration and maintenance as well as delivering a complete, standards-compliant, drop-in wireless solution, the PremierWave 2050 also eases integration and accelerates development, thanks to its production-ready software stack and modular RF certification.

Once deployed, this robust module ensures a long, maintenance-free product lifetime with features like OTA (over the air) field upgradeability, and multiple management modes including web browser and serial port, plus XML support.

Service staff can access diagnostics, monitoring and maintenance functions via Wi-Fi without taking the module out of service or interrupting ongoing communications links.

This management and upgrade flexibility also makes the PremierWave 2050 ideal for sensitive industries in which the high turnover of wireless communications technologies – and related regulations and certifications – would normally force costly replacements for compliance and compatibility, or even make wireless networking uneconomic.
