Lantronix Shakes Up Industrial Connectivity With The Launch Of An Award-Winning Series Of Affordable 5G Wireless Routers

Lantronix's latest NTC-500 series enables enterprises to achieve next-generation mobility, real-time insights, and increased ROI.

Irvine, CA (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Lantronix Inc. (NASDAQ: LTRX), a global leader in IoT computing and connectivity solutions that enable Edge AI, today launched the NTC-500 Series , a robust, industrial-grade 5G router designed to revolutionize the economics of enterprise mobility and connectivity. The NTC-500 Series product launch is a direct result of Lantronix's acquisition of NetComm Wireless , which demonstrates Lantronix's strategic investment and affirms its global position as a leading provider of connectivity solutions for the enterprise and industrial IoT markets.

The NTC-500 Series positions Lantronix strategically to capitalize on the accelerating global shift toward wireless industrial infrastructure. With carrier certifications, global approvals, and competitive pricing, the NTC-500 Series empowers enterprises to eliminate the need for expensive Ethernet infrastructure—which can cost thousands of dollars per node—while maintaining the high-speed performance and low latency typically found only in wired networks.

By addressing key pain points such as high implementation costs, long deployment times, limited mobility, and the need to support high endpoint density, the NTC-500 solution opens up new revenue streams in the private 5G, edge computing, and industrial automation markets. Its flexible, future-proof design supports a wide range of use cases, enabling customers to scale efficiently while lowering the total cost of ownership.

“Lantronix has revolutionized the economics of industrial 5G mobility and mission-critical connectivity,” said Daniel Quant, head of Industrial IoT Products and Business Lines at Lantronix. “The NTC-500 Series delivers a robust, globally approved, and carrier-certified 5G solution at a breakthrough price point that allows customers to accelerate their digital transformation, future-proof their infrastructure investments, and significantly lower operational costs.”

Ready for private 5G networks, the NTC-500 Series supports n48-CBRS, n77, n78, and other bands, enabling the rapid digitization of previously isolated or mobile assets. This unlocks new levels of automation, operational agility, and productivity across a wide range of enterprise and industrial sectors.

According to ABI Research's Q1 2025 Private Cellular Network Forecasts, the 5G market is expected to grow from $2.7 billion in 2025 to $29 billion in 2030. Private 5G network deployments in sectors such as manufacturing and healthcare are increasing, driven by demand for advanced cellular capabilities for operations- and safety-critical applications.

Award-Winning 5G Wireless Router
Lantronix's NTC-500 5G series has not only been well-received by customers and partners, but has also earned widespread recognition at the industry level. Lantronix's innovation recently received the 2025 Industrial IoT Product of the Year Award from IoT Evolution World , a leading authority on IoT technology.

"Lantronix is a deserving recipient of the 2025 Industrial IoT Product of the Year Award. Its NTC-500 series is an outstanding representation of the diverse innovations driving the growth of today's multi-billion dollar IoT market. It is my honor to congratulate the Lantronix team on their innovative work and outstanding contributions to the rapidly growing IoT industry," said Rich Tehrani, CEO of TMC, publisher of IoT Evolution World .

Designed for Large-Scale, High-Impact Implementations
Supporting the latest features of 3GPP Release 16 for 5G, the NTC-500 Series includes 5G Non-Standalone (NSA) and 5G Standalone (SA) with fallback to 4G-LTE as well as Dynamic 5G Slicing features, enabling complex and on-demand end-to-end quality of service solutions, in collaboration with leading operator networks.
