The MG90 5G allows users to leverage the existing 4G
infrastructure and automatically connect to 5G networks as they
become available regionally. Sierra Wireless is partnering with
carriers to ensure the success of the 5G ecosystem and working with
them on certifications as they roll out 5G networks.
Tom Mueller, Vice President, Product, Enterprise Networking,
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’s 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 vehicles moves.”
5G Performance Purpose-Built for the Most Demanding
Applications
The MG90 5G provides a seamless experience without interruption,
even for the world’s most demanding applications. Sierra Wireless’
patented cognitive network switching algorithm for multi-network
vehicle routing switches between different cellular networks in
less than a second, to provide performance-optimized,
ultra-low-latency coverage in high-speed moving vehicles. This
guarantees the ability to do one or more streams of video anytime,
anywhere. Integrated FIPS-VPN ensures data is always secure.
Ashley Burrows, ESN Project Manager, Derbyshire Fire &
Rescue Service, said: “Derbyshire Fire & Rescue Service (DFRS)
uses Sierra Wireless MG90 routers to transform the cab of an
emergency vehicle into a remote office, providing us with the
ability to have accurate and timely mission critical data
communications remotely available at operational events to mitigate
risk to DFRS staff and the communities that we serve. We’re looking
forward to the added speed and functionality that 5G will
enable.”
Brian Cury, Founder & CEO, EarthCam, said: “EarthCam
introduced multi-network 5G options for its entire line of
construction and virtual tourism cameras last week based on Sierra
Wireless’ best in-class 5G technology. 5G makes it possible to
deliver an almost unlimited amount of visual data from the jobsite.
It sets the stage for the next generation of solutions to transfer
Gigapixel RAW archive files to further the art of cinematic
time-lapse. We’re very proud to be able to deliver another
breakthrough for our clients who want forward-thinking technology
to maximize their investment.”
Alison Brooks, Ph.D., Research Vice President, Smart Cities
& Communities - Public Safety, IDC, said: “First responders are
looking to deploy 5G to take advantage of the performance and low
latency it enables for critical applications, such as
higher-definition video streaming and securing video evidence from
vehicles in real-time. The mission-critical nature of these
applications, combined with the multi-network capabilities needed
to ensure always-on connectivity means that these agencies need a
purpose-built router, like the Sierra Wireless AirLink MG90 5G, to
enable secure sub-second switching between different cellular
networks.”
The MG90 5G provides a smooth, simple migration path from prior
MG90 devices, using the same form factor, fit and functionality.
The AirLink Mobility Manager (AMM), an end-to-end hosted and
on-premise management system ensures that no new integration work
is required for existing systems, and integrated LMR systems will
continue to work seamlessly. AMM now includes API support,
certificate management and enables simple 5G network
troubleshooting, providing 5G network information, such as network
availability and coverage mapping, and supports vehicle tracking,
telemetry and asset management applications.
The MG90 5G is rugged and built to last, with MIL-STD-810G
conformance to shock, vibration, thermal shock, and humidity, IP64
ingress protection as well as E-Mark vehicle type approval and
EN50155 Rail certification. The MG90 5G will be certified on
FirstNet™, ESN and other carrier networks as they roll out. For
