Picture the conversation.
A customer needs reliable connectivity for a remote CCTV installation. Or perhaps they’re connecting equipment in a utility site, a transport network or an unmanned location where fixed-line broadband simply isn’t an option.
Finding the right industrial router is only part of the job.
You still need to source the SIMs, compare connectivity options, check everything will work together and manage multiple suppliers throughout the project. It all adds time, complexity and unnecessary admin.
At Sol, our aim is always to make life easier for our partners. That’s why we’ve brought together Lantronix industrial cellular routers and Spitfire’s managed UK and EU SIMs, giving you a complete cellular solution from a single distributor.
Instead of piecing the solution together yourself, you can source the hardware, connectivity and technical support from one place.
Why buy the complete solution?
Industrial cellular networking is growing rapidly across sectors including manufacturing, transport, utilities, retail, smart buildings and remote infrastructure. Whatever the application, your customer has the same expectation. They want reliable connectivity that simply works.
By combining Lantronix hardware with Spitfire’s managed connectivity, you can deliver exactly that without adding complexity to the project.
For your customers, it means a resilient, validated solution.
For you, it means simpler procurement, fewer supplier relationships and one point of contact throughout the project.
Reliable connectivity starts with the network
Choosing the right router is important, but the connectivity behind it is just as critical.
Spitfire’s UK multi-network SIMs use dual IMSI technology, giving access to all four major UK mobile networks. The SIM steers to its primary IMSI on Spitfire’s home network, delivering low latency, cost efficiency and UK-based data handling. Signal strength is then continuously monitored, and if it drops below a defined threshold, the SIM automatically switches to an alternative UK network. This helps customers maintain connectivity where resilience matters most.
In practice, that means access to all four major UK mobile networks, helping customers maintain connectivity where resilience matters most.
For projects outside the UK, Spitfire also offers EU multi-network SIMs, providing dependable connectivity across multiple European networks.
Hardware built for demanding environments
Reliable connectivity also depends on choosing hardware that’s designed for the job.
Lantronix has earned a strong reputation for industrial networking solutions that perform in demanding environments where consumer-grade equipment simply isn’t suitable.
Its range of 4G LTE and 5G routers supports applications where fixed-line connectivity isn’t available or resilient mobile connectivity is required. Typical deployments include manufacturing, utilities, transport, smart buildings, retail, temporary sites and remote monitoring.
With features including dual SIM capability, WAN, LAN, Wi-Fi, serial connectivity and secure VPN support, Lantronix routers provide the flexibility to support a wide variety of industrial and commercial deployments.
The Percepxion remote management platform also allows organisations to monitor, configure and update deployed devices remotely, reducing site visits and simplifying ongoing management. Intelligent monitoring capabilities can also help identify emerging issues sooner, giving engineers greater visibility across distributed infrastructure.
Bringing it all together
The real benefit isn’t simply that Lantronix makes excellent routers or that Spitfire provides resilient managed connectivity.
It’s that you don’t have to source them separately.
By bringing both together through Sol, we’ve removed a common frustration from cellular networking projects and made it easier to specify, order and support a complete solution.
That means:
- One supplier for hardware and connectivity
- Simplified procurement and ordering
- Technical guidance covering both the router and SIM deployment
- Validated solutions designed to work together
- Faster deployment with fewer compatibility concerns
- One point of contact for pre-sales and technical support
Instead of coordinating multiple suppliers throughout a project, you can work with one distributor who understands the complete solution.
Security built into the connectivity
Many remote devices are still connected directly to the public internet, creating unnecessary security risks.
For compatible deployments, Spitfire’s One Network enables devices to communicate over a secure private MPLS environment using private IP addressing. Rather than sending traffic across the public internet, communications remain within Spitfire’s private network before reaching their destination.
For customers connecting remote infrastructure or industrial equipment, that’s an additional layer of protection that also helps simplify network design.
Commercial options that fit the project
No two deployments look the same.
Some devices only transmit small amounts of telemetry, while others support continuous application traffic or high-bandwidth services such as video.
Spitfire offers a range of commercial options, including pay-as-you-use, bundled data and multi-year prepaid plans, making it easier to match connectivity costs to the needs of each project. Management tools for larger SIM estates also provide greater visibility and control as deployments grow.
Helping you deliver complete cellular solutions
The best projects are rarely the most complicated.
They’re the ones where everything works together, from specification through to deployment and ongoing support.
By bringing together Lantronix’s industrial networking expertise and Spitfire’s managed connectivity, we’ve made it easier to source complete cellular solutions from one place.
Whether you’re quoting a single remote router or a nationwide rollout, our team can help you choose the right hardware, the right connectivity and the right commercial model for the job.
