Claiming it as a milestone in its own technology journey, Advantech's AIW-355 5G module is designed for AIoT solutions that require ubiquitous connectivity, dynamic mobility, and extreme security. AIW-355 is an excellent choice for use in edge computing devices, mobile gateways, and diverse globally deployed mobile devices.
The AIW-355 uses 5G to provide capabilities and power previously unavailable with 4G. 5G delivers a ten-fold increase in speed (10 Gb/s compared to 1 Gb/s for 4G) and supports connection to up to a million devices per square kilometer. In addition, 5G enables a 100-fold increase in capacity, a 10-fold decrease in latency, and drops lag times to just 1 ms (vs. 10 to 20 ms for 4G).
In its AIW-355 module, Advantech deploys the Snapdragon X55 5G modem, which supports 5G NR sub-6-GHz frequencies in both 5G standalone (SA) and non-standalone (NSA) operations. It is compatible with LTE and WCDMA standards; and is backwards compatible with LTE-A and 3G networks. The module helps optimize customer investment at the initial stage of 5G construction and accommodates emerging market demands.
Advantech’s AIW-355 5G wireless module features a M.2 3052 form-factor M.2 Key B USB interface. This M.2 module accommodates most mainstream carriers and eases 5G integration. The unit also integrates a multi-constellation GNSS receiver and USB 3.1 high-speed interfaces.
The Advantech AIW-355 5G module delivers high-speed capabilities to applications in industrial monitoring, remote medical treatment, transportation, and high-quality surveillance systems. It brings the 5G capabilities needed to support city-based video surveillance systems, which are vital to public safety and require high-speed transmission and low latency. 5G meets these needs while supporting innovative information technologies that improve government response times. In short, AIW-355 can augment the efficiency of public security infrastructure.
The scope of security monitoring applications has expanded to include the use of dimensional monitoring data and real-time vehicle monitoring. Advantech’s AIW-355 also accommodates these applications while helping enterprises reduce costs by efficiently monitoring restricted, potentially dangerous areas.
Three versions of AIW-355 are available for applications in North America, Europe, and China. Every version supports both 5G SA and NSA network architectures and delivers faster transmission speeds, better carrying capacities, and lower network latency. Each model can operate in broad temperature ranges ( –30 to 75°C/ –22 to 167°F ) and is compatible with Windows and Linux.
