Overview
About the Lantronix NTC-220 Series
The NTC-220 Series (also written NTC220) is a family of 4G LTE Category 1 industrial IoT routers that connect a single Ethernet or serial device, plus I/O, to the cellular network. Cat 1 delivers up to 10 Mbps down and 5 Mbps up on LTE FDD, which suits telemetry, control and alarm traffic from elevators, vending and ticketing machines, signage, access control and traffic lights. Integrated GNSS and an ignition input also make it a vehicle and mobile-asset tracker.
Each router has a 100Base-T RJ-45 port, a DB-9 serial port supporting 9-wire RS232 or RS485/RS422 with software-controlled termination, a micro USB 2.0 OTG port and three multipurpose I/O pins including a NAMUR-compatible input. GNSS covers GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo and QZSS. Routing features include static and RIP routing, VRRP, IPsec for up to 5 tunnels, OpenVPN, GRE and PPTP, and a Modbus TCP gateway for up to 247 serial slaves. Power is 8-40 VDC with ISO7637 vehicle protection, 6 W typical, and the IP41 housing operates from -40°C to +70°C.
Management options include HTTPS web UI, SSH CLI, SNMP v1/v2/v3, TR-069, OMA LWM2M and SMS commands, with over-the-air firmware updates. The Linux-based Lantronix OS includes an SDK for custom applications in C, Lua or shell script, and fleets can be onboarded through the Percepxion platform.

How to choose the right NTC-220 Series part number
The third digit of the model number selects the LTE band set and region. NTC-221-01-01 covers Australia and New Zealand (B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B7, B8, B28, B40). NTC-222-01-01 covers Europe, Middle East and Africa. NTC-224-01-01 targets AT&T and T-Mobile in North America on B2, B4 and B12. NTC-225-01-01 is the Verizon model on B4 and B13 and is the only one listed with dual SIM. NTC-227-01-01 is the global model with 18 bands. Add the PSU-0079 12 VDC supply for bench or mains-powered sites.
