Lantronix’s new NTC-500 Series enables businesses to achieve next-generation mobility, real-time insights, and improved ROI.
Lantronix Inc., a global leader in IoT computing and connectivity solutions that enable Edge AI Intelligence, launched its new NTC-500 Series rugged industrial-grade 5G router , designed to transform the economics of enterprise mobility and connectivity. The launch of the NTC-500 Series is a direct result of Lantronix’s acquisition of NetComm Wireless , validating its strategic investment and underscoring its global position as a provider of cutting-edge connectivity solutions for the enterprise and industrial IoT markets.
With the NTC-500 Series, Lantronix is poised to capitalize on the accelerating global shift toward industrial wireless infrastructure. With carrier certification, global approvals, and a disruptive price point, the NTC-500 Series empowers enterprises to eliminate costly Ethernet infrastructure—potentially thousands of dollars per drop—while maintaining the high-speed, low-latency performance traditionally associated with wired networks.
By addressing key pain points such as high deployment costs, long installation times, limited mobility, and the need to support a high density of connected endpoints, the NTC-500 solution opens up new revenue streams in the private 5G, edge computing, and industrial automation markets. Its flexible, future-proof design supports a wide range of use cases, enabling customers to scale efficiently while reducing total cost of ownership.
