Lantronix’s edge-intelligent gateways and cloud platform modernize management of more than 50,000 backup generators across wireless tower sites

IRVINE, Calif., May 14, 2026 — 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 announced that it has received the Honorable Mention recognition in IoThinkTank’s 2026 IoT Infrastructure Innovation Awards program. This recognition highlights Lantronix’s digital transformation of critical infrastructure management of more than 50,000 backup power systems across wireless cell sites for a Tier-1 U.S. mobile network operator.

Lantronix’s Edge Intelligence solution consists of Lantronix’s FOX series gateways and Percepxion™ cloud-based management platform, enabling remote oversight and data-driven servicing, significantly reducing operational expenses and improving network reliability. Lantronix’s scalable, vendor-agnostic solution provides real-time monitoring of generator health, including fuel levels, battery status, oil pressure, coolant temperature and more, which enables data-driven servicing, reduces unnecessary site visits and ensures compliance with environmental regulations.

“We are very honored to receive an Honorable Mention from IoThinkTank’s IoT Infrastructure Awards,” said Mathi Gurusamy, chief strategy officer at Lantronix. “Tower portfolios and backup power fleets demand reliability, visibility and efficiency at scale. Our FOX Series gateways and Percepxion platform give infrastructure owners and service providers the ability to monitor, manage and optimize thousands of remote power assets, reducing operational costs while improving uptime and resilience.”

Purpose-Built for Tower Sites and Backup Power Assets

Backup generators are essential to ensuring network uptime during grid outages, extreme weather events and emergencies. Historically, these systems relied heavily on routine site visits and reactive maintenance, driving up operational costs and increasing the risk of unplanned failures.

Lantronix’s edge-intelligent solution modernizes this model by enabling:

• Real-time remote visibility into generator and power-system health
• Proactive, data-driven servicing instead of scheduled inspections
• Reduced site visits and faster fault resolution
• Improved compliance with environmental and operational regulations

The solution continuously monitors critical generator parameters, including fuel levels, battery voltage, run time, oil pressure, coolant temperature, alarms and status codes, delivering actionable insights to operations and maintenance teams.

Lantronix’s solution is well-suited for:

• Tower companies managing multi-tenant sites and SLA-driven uptime
• Mobile network operators safeguarding continuous service availability
• Generator OEMs and service providers supporting large, distributed fleets
• Infrastructure operators seeking to reduce OPEX and improve reliability

“By delivering scalable, secure edge gateways and our unmatched Percepxion cloud-based management platform, we’re helping our infrastructure customers accelerate digital transformation, improve reliability and achieve higher remote-site security,” added Gurusamy.

Proven at National Scale

Under a multi-year agreement with a Tier‑1 U.S. mobile network operator, Lantronix is supporting the digital management of more than 50,000 backup generators at wireless tower sites nationwide. The deployment demonstrates how large-scale tower owners, network operators and power infrastructure portfolios can be centrally managed through a secure, vendor-agnostic IoT platform while addressing the core challenge of maintaining reliable backup power across thousands of geographically distributed sites.
