Key for Critical Infrastructure Operators For utilities, industrial facilities, defense installations and emergency services, connectivity gaps are more than an IT inconvenience; they are an operational liability with direct consequences for safety, uptime and cost. Existing approaches force an unacceptable tradeoff, producing permanent infrastructure that takes months to plan and deploy and carries prohibitive cost while legacy portable solutions sacrifice performance, security and manageability. The Rapid Wi-Fi Platform addresses that tradeoff. Built for the Edge of the Network – and the Edge of the Map At the core of the platform is the Lantronix NTC-552, a ruggedized industrial 5G gateway engineered for demanding field environments. Paired with Cherry &amp; White's Rapid Wi-Fi technology, the platform delivers connectivity speeds up to 70 times faster than legacy solutions in low- or no-connectivity environments and can be operational within minutes of arrival on site. The Platform is available in two deployment configurations: <ul type="disc"><li>Vehicle Connectivity Solution installed on fleet and response vehicles to extend enterprise-grade connectivity as the vehicle moves through the field.</li><li>Peli Connectivity Solution housed in a ruggedized, portable hard case engineered for rapid setup in the harshest environments, from emergency staging areas to remote substations.</li></ul> Both configurations share a common architecture: 5G NR Release 16 SA/NSA with automatic LTE/4G failover, Wi-Fi 6, 2.5Gbps WAN throughput, AC or 18V tool battery power, plug-and-play multi-interface integration (LAN/WAN, GNSS, Bluetooth, I/O) and centralized remote management via Lantronix's Percepxion™ platform to substantially reduce costly truck rolls and enable continuous remote visibility regardless of how remote the deployment. The platform is also ready for private 5G spectrum deployments across Germany, France, the United Kingdom and Latin America, positioning it as a purpose-built enabler for mobile network operators expanding enterprise and industrial private network offerings globally. “Critical infrastructure operators are increasingly challenged to deploy secure, high-performance connectivity in remote and difficult environments,” said Mathi Gurusamy, chief strategy officer at Lantronix. “Our collaboration with Cherry &amp; White combines Lantronix’s ruggedized industrial gateways with their Rapid Wi-Fi technology to create a powerful, easy-to-deploy platform that delivers resilient connectivity in locations that traditional networks cannot reach.” “By integrating our Rapid Wi-Fi technology with Lantronix’s advanced industrial gateway, we can bring high-bandwidth connectivity to locations that previously lacked reliable access,” said David Bayley, chief operating officer at Cherry &amp; White. “Together, we are enabling organizations to deploy critical communications infrastructure faster, more securely and at a significantly lower cost.” Benefits of the New Connectivity Platform Powered by Cherry &amp; White’s Rapid Wi-Fi, the connectivity platform is driven by Lantronix’s NTC-552 ruggedized industrial IoT gateway that combines ultra-fast 5G connectivity with the robust performance of Wi-Fi 6 and serial interfaces. Key benefits include: <ul type="disc"><li>Mission-Critical Resilience at Scale. 5G NR Release 16 SA/NSA with automatic LTE/4G failover, Wi-Fi 6, and 2.5Gbps WAN delivers carrier-grade, high-availability connectivity — ruggedized for the extreme environments where other solutions fail.</li><li>Rapid, Flexible Deployment With Lower TCO. AC or 18V tool battery power, plug-and-play multi-interface integration (LAN/WAN, GNSS, Bluetooth, I/O), and centralized Percepxion™ remote management reduce costly site visits as well as both upfront and operational expenditure.</li><li>Global Private 5G Compatibility. Ready for private spectrum deployments across Germany, France, the UK and Latin America — purpose-built for MNOs expanding enterprise and industrial private network offerings worldwide. </li></ul> Key Investor Takeaways <ul type="disc"><li style="text-align:left;">Private 5G &amp; Industrial IoT Exposure. The platform directly targets two of the fastest-growing segments in the Industrial IoT market, extending the commercial reach of the NTC-552 into mission-critical verticals characterized by long deployment cycles, multi-unit fleet purchases and strong operator preference for centrally managed, remotely administered solutions.</li><li style="text-align:left;">Recurring Revenue Profile. The collaboration is structured to capture high-value recurring revenue through managed connectivity services and remote administration via Percepxion™, moving Lantronix further up the value stack beyond hardware into software-attached, margin-accretive service relationships.</li><li style="text-align:left;">International Market Expansion. Private 5G spectrum compatibility across Germany, France, the UK and Latin America positions the platform for international scaling while Lantronix's established defense, utility and industrial compliance credentials, including NDAA, accelerate Cherry &amp; White's access to those markets and create a mutually reinforcing commercial footprint. </li></ul> About Cherry &amp; White Cherry &amp; White is a premier UK-based provider of advanced networking and telecommunications solutions, specialising in the design, integration, and support of mission-critical infrastructure.
