What Makes the AirLink XR60 Stand Out?
The XR60 is Semtech Sierra Wireless’ most compact rugged 5G router to date, one-third the size of its XR80 and XR90 counterparts. Despite its minimal footprint, it supports:
- Ruggedized operation with IP64 ingress protection and MIL-STD-810GH compliance
- 5G NR and LTE fallback across global frequency bands
- Dual SIM support with automatic failover
- AirLink OS, ALMS, and AirLink Complete integration for fleet and enterprise management
- 4x4 MIMO 5G multi-band cellular radios
- Optional 2x2 MIMO Wi-Fi 6
- Dual-band 40 channel GNSS (GPS)
- 1 Gbps RJ45 Ethernet with optional dual Ethernet
- Dual RS-232/475 serial ports
- USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C with power delivery and 5 Gbps LAN networking
- Carrier support: AT&T, FirstNet® Trusted, T-Mobile, T-Priority, Verizon, Telus, Southern Linc, CBRS, C-Band​Planned: Rogers, Bell, Telstra
- Public Safety: FirstNet® Trusted, T-Priority
The XR60 is offered in eight hardware variants, but antenna selection largely hinges on just two layouts:
- No Wi-Fi: 4 Cellular ports + 1 GPS
- With Wi-Fi: 4 Cellular ports + 2 Wi-Fi + 1 GPS
Understanding this port layout is essential when choosing between a 5-in-1 antenna (for cellular + GPS) and a 7-in-1 antenna (for cellular, Wi-Fi, and GPS).
Selecting the Right Antenna for the XR60
