Semtech launched 5G RedCap modem for industrial IoT use

Semtech Corporation, a company that makes semiconductors and Internet of Things (IoT) systems, announced the FX86E, a 5G RedCap modem for industrial IoT. The modem can easily connect to 5G RedCap, 4G/LTE, and public or private networks, helping companies connect devices and machines faster and at lower cost.

The FX86E is made for industrial IoT manufacturers and system integrators. It is pre-certified, so it is easier to install and faster to use than embedding a regular cellular module. It also helps IoT devices move from LTE to 5G smoothly.

The FX86E works on networks where 5G RedCap is available, giving devices a long life in the field and helping industrial IoT customers switch from LTE to 5G without problems.

According to coherent market insights, the Industrial IoT Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 20.5% during 2025 to 2032. Currently, the market is at USD 177.51 Bn in 2025 and is expected to be around USD 654.84 Bn by 2032. The market is driven by the growing demand for advanced industrial automation solutions. These solutions help enterprises to cut maintenance costs and avoid unplanned downtime, thereby increasing profitability. The market is also propelled by the rising investments in IoT devices across various industries, owing to their increasing applications and a growing number of benefits.

“By integrating 5G RedCap technology into a rugged, simplified platform, the FX86E solves a vital connectivity challenge for today’s industrial IoT applications,” remarked Anthony Besett, vice president of the OEM embedded solutions team at GetWireless. “Our partnership with Semtech allows us to provide a high-performance, future-ready solution that balances the power of 5G with the practical needs of the field and at a cost that enables adoption now. We are effectively removing the complexity of the deployment phase, allowing OEMs to scale their IoT operations with unprecedented speed and efficiency while gaining the security and longevity benefits of 5G.”
