Ericsson and Blue Wireless: Pioneering 5G Connectivity for IoT Applications

Revolutionizing IoT Connectivity with 5G

Ericsson has announced the launch of two groundbreaking routers—the R980 and S400—to meet the growing demands of IoT and vehicle connectivity. These routers are specifically designed to provide secure, high-speed internet access in various applications, leveraging 5G technology.

The R980: A Rugged 5G Solution

The R980 is a ruggedized 5G router tailored for vehicular deployment, enabling AI-driven video recognition and efficient data analysis. Its adaptability ensures high performance in challenging environments, catering to first responders, near-shore vessels, and passenger transport.

• Support for 3GPP Release 16
• Standalone (SA) networks
• Enhanced network slicing for public safety and IoT

With its advanced engine, the R980 will revolutionize how industries operate, providing seamless integration with NetCloud Manager for unified system management.

The S400: Compact IoT Connectivity

On the other hand, the S400 serves as a semi-ruggedized IoT device suitable for light industrial applications, digital signage, and building control systems. It ensures that even the smallest IoT devices maintain security, incorporating NetCloud SASE Secure Connect for enhanced secure communication.

Blue Wireless integrates these platforms to offer superior managed services, aiming to speed up deployments and resolve performance challenges swiftly. Joop Gerlach, COO of Blue Wireless, emphasized, "Our collaboration with Ericsson enables businesses to accelerate wireless adoption while remaining seamlessly connected."
