Sierra Wireless, a leader in IoT solutions, recently announced the AirLink MG90 5G – the world’s first multi-network 5G vehicle router, available from leading European distribution partner Westbase.io. The launch of the AirLink MG90 5G is a huge stride towards the future of 5G, which will help to accelerate a data-driven transformation for many organisations. This blog will take a look at what this release means for the channel.

5G will not only bring incredible speeds and latency, but it will also look to shape the future of networking as we know it today. Offering best-in-class user experience, performance and reliability, the new AirLink MG90 5G has been purpose-built to support in-vehicle critical applications and is ideal in industries such as the emergency services – unlocking the 5G potential to connect many life-saving applications while on the move.

Tom Mueller, Vice President, Product, Enterprise Networking for Sierra Wireless, said: “Our customers are excited about the new capabilities that 5G will enable, and Sierra Wireless will support this market with a full portfolio of products. With the AirLink MG90 5G, Sierra Wireless has delivered the first 5G router solution that is purpose-built to meet the challenges of moving vehicles, with patented technology to deliver the maximum performance and coverage anytime, anywhere. The MG90 5G tackles the toughest challenges where 5G matters most, enabling high-definition applications like remote triage for paramedics, live video streaming for law enforcement and improved Wi-Fi services for transit riders — all while switching seamlessly from network to network as the vehicle moves.” 

Available from the leading Sierra Wireless European distributor, Westbase.io, the AirLink MG90 5G can help organisations to address a range of connectivity needs and provides a seamless 5G experience without interruption, for even the most demanding applications.

“We’re excited about the new MG90 5G solution from Sierra Wireless, and what this signifies for our industry,” said Julian Sinnige, Benelux Country Manager for Westbase.io, “4G LTE still has a key role to play for organisations, but to have a 5G router in the portfolio is a huge step forwards and a clear indicator that our channel should be preparing themselves for this next stage in networking. We look forward to helping our channel customers, and their end users, with this journey.”
