LTRX Solution Used by Tier-1 Operator for Managing Cell Site Generator
Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
LTRX enables digital transformation of backup power at wireless sites using its IoT Edge solutions.
The FOX Series and Percepxion platform offer scalable, vendor-agnostic generator monitoring.
Expanded oversight includes HVAC, battery banks and power metrics for full site visibility.
Lantronix, Inc. (LTRX - Free Report) has announced a multi-year agreement with a Tier-1 U.S. mobile network operator. The collaboration will enable the digital transformation of more than 50,000 backup power systems at wireless cell sites nationwide, utilizing Lantronix’s advanced Edge gateways and cloud-based software to facilitate real-time monitoring, enhance network reliability and significantly reduce operational costs.
These backup generators play a crucial role in maintaining uninterrupted mobile service during power outages, supporting critical functions ranging from everyday mobile phone usage to life-saving medical equipment and emergency communication systems. Traditionally, maintaining these generators involved costly and inefficient manual inspections. With Lantronix’s Edge Intelligence solutions, network operators gain remote visibility and data-driven maintenance capabilities, cutting operational expenses while boosting system reliability.
The deployment leverages Lantronix’s FOX Series industrial IoT gateways along with its cloud-based Percepxion platform, offering a scalable, vendor-agnostic solution for real-time monitoring of generator health. Key metrics, such as fuel levels, battery status, oil pressure and coolant temperature, are continuously tracked to enable predictive maintenance, eliminate unnecessary site visits and ensure compliance with environmental regulations.
The partnership has enabled the mobile network operator to digitize and centralize the management of its nationwide fleet of cell site generators. Notable outcomes include improved network resilience through increased generator uptime, real-time operational visibility with automated alerts for outages and tampering, and secure lifecycle management of connected assets. Additionally, the streamlined integration of millions of devices from edge to cloud has led to greater operational efficiency and cost savings.
Beyond generator monitoring, Lantronix’s solution also supports expanded infrastructure oversight, including HVAC systems, power regulators, battery banks and power phase and frequency metrics—further enhancing site readiness and reliability across the operator’s infrastructure.
Recently, Lantronix announced a collaboration with Aerora, a provider of integrated NDAA-compliant propulsion, ground control and AI-powered precision payload systems. This partnership brings cutting-edge Edge AI solutions that accelerate advancements in drones, robotics and surveillance, powered by Aerora’s OEM platform for AI-driven visual navigation.
In the third quarter of fiscal 2025, Lantronix strengthened its position in AI edge intelligence and industrial connectivity through a series of strategic initiatives. A notable highlight was the company’s collaboration with Teledyne FLIR, where Lantronix’s Open-Q platform powered an AI-enabled thermal camera for drones, demonstrating the platform’s reliability and performance in critical edge vision applications. Further expanding its AI compute offerings, Lantronix launched the Open-Q 8550CS System on Module (SoM), built on Qualcomm’s advanced QCS8550 processor.
However, despite these advancements and recent acquisitions, Lantronix continues to face headwinds in certain business segments. Revenues from the IoT System Solutions segment, which accounted for 51.7% of total revenues, declined 45% year over year in the fiscal third quarter. The Embedded IoT Solutions segment, contributing 42.1% to overall revenues, saw a more modest drop of 3.7%. Meanwhile, the Software & Services segment, which made up 6.2% of total revenues, experienced an 8.3% year-over-year decrease.
