Lantronix Inc. (NASDAQ: LTRX) has introduced its NTC-500 Series, a rugged, industrial-grade 5G router designed to transform the business mobility and connectivity economy. The launch positions Lantronix to capitalize on the global shift towards wireless industrial infrastructure [1]. The NTC-500 Series, which includes operator certification and global approvals, offers a disruptive price point that allows businesses to eliminate costly Ethernet infrastructure while maintaining high-speed performance and low latency.

The NTC-500 Series addresses key weaknesses in current industrial connectivity solutions, such as high implementation costs, long installation times, limited mobility, and the need to support high densities of connected endpoints. Its flexible and future-ready design supports a wide range of use cases, enabling clients to scale efficiently while reducing the total cost of ownership.

According to ABI Research’s 1Q 2025 Private Cellular Network Forecasts, the 5G market is expected to grow from $2.7 billion in 2025 to $29 billion by 2030. The NTC-500 Series supports the n48-CBRS band, n77 & n78, and more, enabling the rapid digitization of previously stranded or mobile assets. This unlocks new levels of automation, operational agility, and productivity across enterprise and industrial segments.

Lantronix’s NTC-500 5G Series has received industry-wide recognition, earning the 2025 Industrial IoT Product of the Year Award from IoT Evolution World [1]. The award highlights Lantronix’s innovation and superior contribution to the rapidly evolving IoT industry.

The NTC-500 Series supports the latest 3GPP Release 16 5G features, including 5G Non-Standalone (NSA) and 5G Standalone (SA) with 4G-LTE fallback and Dynamic 5G Slicing. This enables complex end-to-end, on-demand quality of service solutions in partnership with leading carrier networks.

Key capabilities and use cases of the NTC-500 Series include high-speed data transfer for machine vision, remote inspections, and firmware updates; low latency for real-time control in robotics, AGVs, and security systems; cable-free connectivity for improved agility in modular production lines, pop-up logistics hubs, and reconfigurable warehouses; and site-wide mobility for high-density asset connectivity in smart factories, AGV fleets, and outdoor logistics yards.

The disruptive price point of the NTC-500 Series expands the addressable market, making it suitable for cost-sensitive automation in sectors such as retail, QSR, mining, construction, and more.
