New production-ready platform reduces OEM development risk and accelerates time-to-revenue for mission-critical Edge AI and Industrial IoT applications
IRVINE, Calif., May 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lantronix Inc. (Nasdaq: LTRX), a global provider of Edge AI and Industrial IoT solutions that power NDAA-compliant unmanned systems, critical infrastructure and resilient enterprise networks, today introduced the xPico® 600 series, a production-ready family of Wi-Fi® 6 and Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE) 5.4 embedded gateway modules that solve one of embedded IoT development’s biggest challenges: time-to-revenue. By eliminating months of driver development, security validation and regulatory overhead that often stand between a product concept and revenue-generating deployment, the xPico 600’s complete connectivity foundation enables teams to build differentiated products rather than rebuild commodity infrastructure.
Pre-integrated with Lantronix’s Percepxion™ cloud platform for zero-touch provisioning, remote lifecycle management and real-time device telemetry, the xPico 600 provides wireless, security and cloud management in a single compact module. The xPico 600 series is the next generation of Lantronix’s market-leading gateway architecture, rebuilt for the future of industrial and commercial IoT. By consolidating dual-band Wi-Fi 6, BLE 5.4, enterprise-grade security and a robust communications engine into a compact, industrial-grade module, the xPico 600 gives OEMs a single design win that covers more protocols, more environments and more markets.
Device Management as a Competitive Advantage
Where most embedded gateway platforms stop at connectivity, Percepxion extends the value into the full device lifecycle. Zero-touch provisioning eliminates on-site configuration for large-scale rollouts. Automated firmware-over-the-air updates keep fleets current and compliant, — without field intervention. Built-in telemetry and analytics surface real-time performance data, enabling predictive maintenance, reducing unplanned downtime and generating the operational insights that justify continued investment in connected infrastructure. For Lantronix customers, Percepxion transforms hardware deployment into a managed, continuously improving service.
“As global demand for smart, connected devices accelerates across industrial, energy, healthcare and commercial sectors, the xPico 600 family, together with our Percepxion Cloud platform, positions Lantronix to capture growth in the rapidly expanding Edge IoT market by delivering a scalable, software-defined connectivity platform,” said Mathi Gurusamy, chief strategy officer at Lantronix. “Wi-Fi 6 is in the sweet spot for the next wave of cost-sensitive IoT products. By delivering a production-ready platform engineered for next-generation technology today, we are helping our OEM customers innovate faster, streamline device lifecycle management and build a defensible competitive edge.”
One Module —Three Reasons Why OEMs Ship Faster
The xPico 600 consolidates what OEM teams typically spend months building separately:
- Accelerated Design Cycles. Integrated dual-band 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6), Ethernet and BLE 5.4 capabilities remove the need for complex driver development and significantly reduce the burden of global regulatory certifications.
- Intelligent Offloading. At its core, an integrated IoT communications engine offloads networking tasks from the host microcontroller. This flexibility allows the module to function as a network co-processor or a standalone wireless MCU, reducing firmware complexity.
- Industrial-Grade Resilience. With an operating range of -40°C to +85°C and a compact SMT footprint, the xPico 600 series is built for space-constrained and harsh environments, from smart cities to automated factory floors.
Delivering enterprise-grade performance and reliability, the Lantronix xPico 600 series is ideal for applications enabling industrial automation, smart energy, medical devices, smart cities, agriculture and retail systems.
Security That Ships With the Product, Not After It
Security is a primary hurdle for IoT adoption. Integrated into the xPico 600 series Lantronix’s InfiniShield™ security framework provides:
- Secure boot and firmware integrity validation
- Secure firmware-over-the-air (FOTA) updates
- Encryption and protection of keys and data-at-rest
- Role-based access control and policy enforcement
- Fine-grained network service management
Transparent Integration for Legacy Systems and Modern Ones
Leveraging Lantronix’s field-proven TruPort® technology, the xPico 600 enables transparent pass-through of hundreds of proprietary serial and standard fieldbus protocols, ensuring seamless integration into legacy and modern systems alike. Advanced socket capabilities support TCP, UDP and TLS while flexible configuration options, including command mode, Web Services APIs and XML, give developers full control over device behavior and data flow.
Expanded Financial Opportunity
The launch of the xPico 600 series strengthens Lantronix’s position in the high-growth segments:
- Industrial automation and digital transformation
- Smart infrastructure and energy modernization
- Connected healthcare devices
- Expansion of AI-enabled edge systems
Higher integration density increases value-per-design wins while the Percepxion platform introduces a cloud-based recurring revenue layer that scales with every customer’s deployed base. In addition, pre-earned global certifications remove the customization costs that historically eroded margin on international design wins. Together, these dynamics make the xPico 600 a platform expansion — one engineered to compound in value as the Edge IoT market continues its structural growth.
