Lantronix FOX5 Secure Intelligent Serial Gateways
Lantronix FOX5 Secure Intelligent Serial Gateways provide edge-to-cloud connectivity for critical assets, industrial equipment, and vehicle telematics. The gateways transform data from generators, HVAC systems, fuel tanks, air compressors, field equipment, and fleet vehicles into actionable insights for monitoring, control, and operational decision-making.
The Lantronix FOX5 platform combines 4G LTE Cat 1 bis connectivity, advanced GNSS with dead reckoning, BLE 5.4, native fieldbus support, programmable I/Os, and secure edge processing. When paired with Lantronix Percepxion™ software, Lantronix FOX5 Secure Intelligent Serial Gateways support zero-touch provisioning, centralized device management, real-time monitoring, and lower deployment complexity.
Designed for remote and distributed asset environments, FOX5 enables local filtering, data normalization, and report-by-exception logic to reduce data usage and improve response time. The gateways are excellent for critical asset monitoring applications that need secure cloud connectivity, edge intelligence, fast deployment, and remote visibility across large-scale IoT fleets.
