Advantech, a global leader in industrial wireless solutions, has released the newest model in its AIW-300 series: the AIW-355. This 5G module is a milestone for Advantech Industrial Wireless (AIW). It’s built for AIoT solutions that need wide connectivity, mobility, and strong security. The AIW-355 is a great fit for edge computing devices, mobile gateways, and mobile equipment deployed worldwide.
Accelerate Wireless Technology Transformation
The AIW-355 uses 5G to unlock capabilities that 4G can’t match. Compared to 4G, 5G delivers:
- 10× faster speeds — up to 10 Gbps, versus 1 Gbps on 4G
- 100× more capacity — supports up to a million devices per square kilometre
- 10× lower latency — lag drops to just 1 millisecond, versus 10–20 ms on 4G
The AIW-355 is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon X55 5G modem and supports 5G NR Sub-6 frequencies in both standalone (SA) and non-standalone (NSA) modes. It also works with LTE and WCDMA, and stays backward-compatible with LTE-A and 3G networks. This lets customers protect their investment in the early stages of 5G rollout while staying ready for future demand.
The module uses an M.2 3052 (Key B) USB form factor, so it fits most mainstream carriers and integrates easily. It also includes a multi-constellation GNSS receiver and high-speed USB 3.1 interfaces.
Designed for Industrial and Smart City Applications
The AIW-355 brings high-speed 5G to industrial monitoring, remote medical care, transportation, and high-quality surveillance. It’s especially well-suited to city-wide video surveillance, which depends on fast transmission and low latency. These systems are vital to public safety, and 5G helps them run smoothly — improving government response times and making public security infrastructure more efficient.
Security monitoring now goes beyond simple cameras. It includes real-time vehicle tracking and dimensional monitoring data. The AIW-355 supports these use cases too, helping organizations cut costs by safely monitoring restricted or hazardous areas.
Three versions of the AIW-355 are available — for North America, Europe, and China. Every version supports both 5G SA and NSA architectures, with faster speeds, higher capacity, and lower latency. Each model runs across a wide temperature range (-30 to 75 °C / -22 to 167 °F) and works with both Windows and Linux.

AIW-355 uses 5G to provide capabilities and power previously unavailable with 4G. 5G delivers a ten-fold increase in speed (10 Gbps compared to 1 Gbps for 4G) and supports connection to up to a million devices per square kilometer. In addition, 5G enables a 100 fold increase in capacity, a 10 fold decrease in latency, and drops lag times to just 1 millisecond (as compared to 10 ~ 20 milliseconds for 4G).
Advantech AIW-355 features the Snapdragon X55 5G modem and supports 5G NR SUB6 frequencies in both 5G standalone (SA) and non-standalone (NSA) operations. It is compatible with LTE and WCDMA standards; and is backward compatible with LTE-A and 3G networks. AIW-355 helps optimize customer investment at the initial stage of 5G construction and accommodates emerging market demands.
Advantech’s AIW-355 5G Wireless Module features a M.2 3052 form-factor M.2 Key B USB interface. This M.2 module accommodates most mainstream carriers and eases 5G integration. AIW-355 also integrates a multi-constellation GNSS receiver and USB 3.1 high-speed interfaces.
Designed for Industrial and Smart City Applications
The Advantech AIW-355 5G module delivers high-speed capabilities to applications in industrial monitoring, remote medical treatment, transportation, and high-quality surveillance systems. AIW-355 provides the 5G capabilities needed to support city-based video surveillance systems. These systems are vital to public safety and require high-speed transmission and low latency. 5G meets these needs while supporting innovative information technologies that improve government response times. In sum, AIW-355 is capable of augmenting the efficiency of public security infrastructure.
The scope of security monitoring applications has expanded to include the use of dimensional monitoring data and real-time vehicle monitoring. Advantech’s AIW-355 also accommodates these applications while helping enterprises reduce costs by efficiently monitoring restricted, potentially dangerous areas.
Three versions of AIW-355 are available for applications in North America, Europe, and China. Every version supports both 5G SA and NSA network architectures and delivers faster transmission speeds, better carrying capacities, and lower network latency. Each model can operate in broad temperature ranges (-30 ~ 75 °C/-22 ~ 167 °F) and is compatible with Windows and Linux.
