5G for logistics

The FX4200 cellular router acts as a high-speed primary router for fulfillment centers and sorting facilities, enabling instant deployment of warehouse management systems (WMS). This allows logistics operations to go live immediately, eliminating the long rollout delays of traditional wired telecommunications to ensure high-velocity broadband from day one.

To ensure warehouse operations never drop offline and suffer from costly disruptions, the router provides automated WAN redundancy to 5g networks if a primary wired line fails. This persistent link protects critical supply chain operations from the risks of an outage, keeping automated sorting systems and tracking lines continuously active.

Equipped with a high-performance Wi-Fi 7 radio, the cellular router functions as a local wireless access point that supports up to 256 simultaneously connected devices. This allows a massive density of nearby internet of things assets, such as inventory monitors and IoT smart tags, to connect to a single router in a concentrated space, ensuring all real-time data cleanly reaches the cellular network without causing local signal congestion.

Remote logistics endpoints, heavy yard cranes, and localized sensor hubs require steady, continuous data links to pass climate and diagnostic metrics rather than raw multi-gigabit speeds. The Inseego Skyus 160 functions as a dedicated industrial gateway, providing cost-effective Cat 6 LTE tracking and processing to stream environmental sensor data and automated inventory metrics back to central logistics software.

Managing thousands of shipping containers and intermodal assets across massive transit yards requires absolute positional clarity to optimize supply chain timelines. The gateway integrates an active aGNSS module (supporting GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo) to feed continuous, highly precise location coordinates back to yard management platforms.

During sudden facility grid faults or disconnected primary lines, standard monitoring devices go dark right when terminal status data is needed most. Equipped with an internal 4400 mAh lithium-ion backup battery, the gateway maintains full operations for up to 12 hours without external power. This ensures that critical diagnostic logs and cargo location updates continue streaming to protect high-value freight.

Physical space inside delivery vehicles, dashboard panels, and heavy machinery electronics bays is strictly limited and subject to constant road shock. The gateway features a compact footprint with a ruggedized, vibration-resistant design that easily integrates into crowded onboard hardware configurations, ensuring continuous real-time communication regardless of rough transit conditions.

In large shipping yards, ports, and regional distribution nodes where internal signals struggle, the Inseego Wavemaker FW2000 uses high-gain directional antennas to pull in stable cellular connections from distant towers. This ruggedized solution keeps real-time tracking and asset tracking systems active at the edge of the coverage map to improve port and transit yard response times.

At massive logistics hubs where thousands of data streams converge, signal degradation can compromise critical facility visibility. The Inseego Wavemaker FW3000 utilizes an advanced 8-receive-antenna (8Rx) architecture to maximize signal reliability and throughput. This heavy-duty radio architecture allows logistics companies to continuously capture telemetry from dense arrays of iot devices simultaneously without dropping packets.

The FW series is engineered for outdoor environments requiring uninterrupted monitoring of climate-controlled inventory and automated trailers. Featuring an IP67-rated weatherproof enclosure, these outdoor CPEs are safeguarded from extreme weather to keep networks connected in harsh conditions.

To protect remote shipping hubs from single-carrier network dropouts, both outdoor CPEs feature dual-SIM slots with automated switching logic. If the primary service provider experiences an outage, the hardware instantly transfers the data to a backup cellular network, preventing operational disruptions and keeping high-velocity logistics pipelines online.

Gives enterprise logistics companies a single cloud-based dashboard to monitor the status of all edge Inseego hardware across various locations. Administrators can track real-time signal diagnostics, analyze data consumption trends, and monitor hardware health metrics to identify vulnerabilities and perform maintenance before a communication link failure drops critical tracking systems.

Eliminates the need for manual, device-by-device setups during large-scale network modernizations. Network architects can build standardized security and network configurations in the cloud and push them simultaneously to thousands of deployed routers and gateways upon power-up, accelerating deployment timelines across smart warehouses without requiring specialized on-site IT technicians.

Minimizes expensive and time-consuming truck rolls to distant fulfillment and distribution locations when primary wired lines fail. Inseego Connect utilizes a secure, persistent cellular link through Inseego’s hardware portfolio to provide an alternate management path, allowing network engineers to remotely troubleshoot, reconfigure, and reboot unresponsive downstream equipment or third-party switches in last-mile hubs to maintain absolute operational continuity.

Managing a widespread inventory of connections throughout multiple networks, both fixed and on-the-go require reliable tracking. Inseego Connect aggregates the real-time data from integrated aGNSS modules across all active fleet vehicles.

Delivery drivers, freight handlers, and field supervisors require immediate local internet access to coordinate schedules and manage shipments. The Inseego MiFi PRO M4 deploys an encrypted Wi-Fi 7 pipeline directly from a delivery vehicle or technician pack. Supporting up to 50 simultaneously connected devices, it ensures that handheld barcode scanners, logistics tablets, and mobile manifest printers coordinate seamlessly without local wireless bottlenecks.

Transmitting proprietary manifest files, customer delivery signatures, and inventory data over unsecured channels risks cyber interception. The mobile router features hardened, FIPS 140-3 certified hardware security modules along with multi-SSID isolation and OpenVPN configurations. This allows remote transit workers to securely bridge back to corporate warehouse management networks while completely avoiding the cybersecurity vulnerabilities of public or unencrypted mobile networks.

Field engineers and transport mechanics frequently interact with onboard telematics computers, legacy diagnostic hardware, and fixed tracking appliances that lack wireless radios. Built with a dedicated 1 Gbps RJ45 Ethernet port alongside its high-speed wireless bands, the hotspot bridges the gap between physical transit tools and 5G networks. This allows crews to plug legacy physical assets directly into a high-speed mobile link to offload transit logs and vehicle metrics instantly.
