Advantech introduces the newest member of the AIW-300 series: the AIW-355. This innovative 5G module marks a milestone for Advantech Industrial Wireless (AIW) and is designed for AIoT solutions requiring ubiquitous connectivity, dynamic mobility, and robust security. The AIW-355 is an excellent choice for use in edge computing devices, mobile gateways, and a variety of mobile devices deployed globally. The AIW-355 uses 5G to provide capabilities and power previously unavailable with 4G. 5G offers speeds ten times faster (10 Gbps vs. 1 Gbps for 4G) and supports up to one million devices per square kilometer. Furthermore, 5G enables a 100-fold increase in capacity, a tenfold decrease in latency, and reduces latency to just 1 millisecond (compared to 10–20 milliseconds for 4G).
The Advantech AIW-355 features the Snapdragon X55 5G modem and supports 5G NR SUB6 frequencies in both standalone (SA) and non-standalone (NSA) 5G operations. It is compatible with LTE and WCDMA standards and is backward compatible with LTE-A and 3G networks. The AIW-355 helps optimize customer investment in the initial phase of 5G deployment and is well-suited to the demands of emerging markets.
The Advantech AIW-355 5G wireless module features an M.2 Key B form factor USB 3052 interface. This M.2 module is compatible with most major carriers and facilitates 5G integration. The AIW-355 also integrates a multi-constellation GNSS receiver and high-speed USB 3.1 interfaces.
Designed for Industrial and Smart City Applications,
the Advantech AIW-355 5G module offers high-speed capabilities for industrial monitoring, remote medical treatment, transportation, and high-quality surveillance systems. The AIW-355 provides the 5G capabilities needed to support city-based video surveillance systems. These systems are vital for public safety and require high-speed, low-latency transmission. 5G meets these needs while supporting innovative information technologies that improve management response times. In short, the AIW-355 is capable of increasing the efficiency of public safety infrastructure.
The scope of safety 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 companies reduce costs through the effective monitoring of restricted and potentially hazardous areas.
There are three versions of the AIW-355 available for applications in North America, Europe, and China. Each version supports 5G SA and NSA network architectures and offers faster transmission speeds, improved throughput, and reduced network latency. Each model can operate in a wide temperature range (-30–75°C/-22–167°F) and is compatible with Windows and Linux.
