AirLink® GX Series

Rugged and mobile

3G/4G gateway
The AirLink® GX Series of mobile gateways delivers high performance,
mission-critical cellular communication and GPS location. Its rugged military
spec design (MIL-STD 810) and water-resistant aluminum casing (IP-64 WI-FI Model
rating) enables it to withstand the extreme temperature changes, humidity,
shock, and vibration found in mobile applications.

The GX Series is ideal for in-vehicle field deployments such as connecting

police cars, fire trucks, ambulances, public transit, taxis, or any other fleet

WI-FI MODEL
Create a Wi-Fi hotspot for communicating with 8 other WLAN equipped
devices, including laptops, card readers, fingerprint scanners, and
point-of-sale terminals. The Wi-Fi Model will simultaneously switch from
communicating over cellular to Wi-Fi when inside the range of a designated Base Model
access point (ie. depot or service bay) while maintaining connection to the
WLAN devices.
AIRLINK GX SERIES BENEFITS
I/O MODEL • Intelligence that makes them quick to
deploy and simple to manage
Use the digital and analog I/O to monitor sensors and control digital relays
and switches while using the second serial port to collect data from a • Reliable connectivity that ensures they
stay connected to the network
programmable logic controller, data logger, or to remotely control serial
equipment. The I/O Model enables a wide variety of monitoring applications • Rugged design that lasts for years in the
harshest environments
such doors, sirens, locks, temperature, humidity, or fluid/gas pressure.
• Application framework that makes them
ETHERNET MODEL easy to program
Create a three port wireless Ethernet switch to connect any Ethernet enabled • Integration with AirVantage® M2M Cloud
device such as a laptop, car reader, IP camera, or dispatch terminal. The for building innovative applications and
Ethernet model provides both gateway and switch capabilities eliminating services
the need for additional hardware. • 5-year warrranty
