Lantronix’s new NTC-500 Series enables enterprises to achieve next-gen mobility, real-time insights and improved ROI

IRVINE, Calif., July 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lantronix Inc. (NASDAQ: LTRX), a global leader in compute and connectivity IoT solutions enabling Edge AI Intelligence, today launched its new NTC-500 Series rugged industrial-grade 5G router, designed to transform the economics of enterprise mobility and connectivity. This NTC-500 Series product launch is a direct result of Lantronix’s acquisition of NetComm Wireless, validating Lantronix’s strategic investment as well as underscoring its global position as a provider of cutting-edge connectivity solutions for enterprise and industrial IoT markets.

The NTC-500 Series positions Lantronix to capitalize on the accelerating global shift toward wireless industrial infrastructure. With carrier certification, global approvals and a disruptive price point, the NTC-500 Series empowers enterprises to eliminate costly Ethernet infrastructure — potentially thousands of dollars per drop — while retaining the high-speed, low-latency performance traditionally associated with wired networks.

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

“Lantronix has redefined the economics of industrial 5G mobility and critical connectivity,” said Daniel Quant, head of Industrial IoT Products and Business Line at Lantronix. “The NTC-500 Series delivers a rugged, globally approved and carrier-certified 5G solution at a breakthrough price point, enabling customers to scale digital transformation faster, future-proof their infrastructure investments and significantly reduce operational costs.”

Private-5G ready, the NTC-500 Series supports the n48-CBRS band, n77 & n78 and more, enabling the rapid digitization of previously stranded or mobile assets. This unlocks new levels of automation, operational agility and productivity across enterprise and industrial segments.

According to ABI Research’s 1Q 2025 Private Cellular Network Forecasts, the 5G market will grow from $2.7 billion in 2025 to $29 billion by 2030. Private 5G deployments in sectors such as manufacturing and healthcare are accelerating, driven by demand for advanced cellular capabilities in mission- and safety-critical applications.

Award-Winning 5G Wireless Router

Lantronix’s NTC-500 5G Series has not only resonated with customers and partners, but it has also earned industry-wide recognition. Lantronix’s innovation was recently honored with the 2025 Industrial IoT Product of the Year Award from IoT Evolution World, a leading authority covering IoT technologies.

“Lantronix is a worthy recipient of a 2025 Industrial IoT Product of Year Award. Its NTC-500 Series is an outstanding representative of the diverse range of innovation that’s driving the multi-billion-dollar IoT market today. It is my honor to congratulate the Lantronix team for their innovative work and superior contribution to the rapidly evolving IoT industry,” said Rich Tehrani, CEO of TMC, publisher of IoT Evolution World.

Built for High-Scale, High-Impact Deployments

Supporting the latest 3GPP Release 16 5G features, the NTC-500 Series includes 5G Non-Standalone (NSA) and 5G Standalone (SA) with 4G-LTE fallback and Dynamic 5G Slicing, which enables complex end-to-end, on-demand quality of service solutions in partnership with leading carrier networks.
