Now OEMs can easily and flexibly connect Ethernet devices to the IoT securely

Lantronix has launched the PremierWave 2050, an embedded IoT module solution designed specifically for applications where enterprise-grade security and robust networking capabilities are mission critical. "For industrial and commercial OEMs involved in building connected machines, incorporating secure wireless connectivity can become an expensive and resource-draining obstacle to IoT-enablement," said Vishal Kakkad, director of product marketing, Lantronix. "With the PremierWave 2050 solution, our objective is to help OEMs eliminate the complexity of wireless IoT enablement by delivering an elegant and robust solution that allows them to speed up their 'time-to-confidence' by reducing development and solution deployment risks. Featuring certified 5G Wi-Fi connectivity, an advanced wireless software stack, integrated enterprise-level security and an industrial-rated compact design, the PremierWave 2050 is the perfect solution for mission critical applications." The PremierWave 2050 is designed for applications in a variety of vertical markets, such as industrial automation, warehouse and logistics, healthcare, retail, environmental monitoring, medical devices, defence, railway and transportation. PremierWave 2050 enables OEMs to embed simple and robust enterprise Wi-Fi connectivity for Ethernet enabled devices without having to undergo major system design shifts and integration effort. Incorporating a module such as the PremiereWave 2050 is also particularly well-suited for product designs with long lifecycles and in highly regulated industries where the constant pace of change in Wi-Fi technologies and certification would typically make it difficult to incorporate a wireless solution, says the company. Andy Edwards, director of product development, Printronix Auto ID, added: "Lantronix's reputation as a leader in IoT-enablement, along with the extensive feature set of the PremierWave 2050, have made this the perfect solution for us to create a robust, secure Wi-Fi solution for our stationary thermal barcode and RFID printers which are typically deployed in challenging industrial, warehouse and manufacturing environments. More importantly, using PremierWave 2050 will allow us to easily keep up with changing Wi-Fi standards without the need for redesigning our product."
