AI, IoT, and cloud computing are transforming how businesses operate. These technologies require low latency, high bandwidth, and always-on connectivity, pushing IT organizations to rethink how they deploy, manage, and secure critical infrastructure. When used with Opengear’s Lighthouse® software solution, Smart Management Fabric, and zero touch provisioning, the CM8100-10G-5Gaddresses these challenges by delivering a 5G-powered Smart Out of Band solution for fast, secure, and resilient remote network management.

The expanded solution includes several standout enhancements:

• 5G for network resilience: Integrated 5G connectivity and 10GbE uplinks deliver seamless failover, ensuring business continuity and minimizing downtime in high-density IT environments while streamlining everyday operations.

• Scalable and adaptable infrastructure: Upgraded with 5G technology, the CM8100-10G-5G safeguards IT investments by providing a highly scalable and adaptable network resilience solution that evolves with the demands of leading-edge technologies such as AI, cloud computing, and IoT.

• Optimized network management: Connect and control up to 48 serial devices, simplify cabling, and reduce operational overhead — giving network teams greater visibility and control over critical infrastructure.

Patrick Quirk, president of Opengear, stated, "Business continuity can make or break a business. Including 5G technology in our CM8100-10G series represents a significant step in our promise to provide a network management solution that eliminates disruptions while enabling automatic failover to cellular for seamless access. As demand for networks grows in complexity and the volume of data increases, the need for a fast, reliable, and efficient remote management solution becomes critical. Our latest console manager, the CM8100-10G-5G, is designed to empower our customers to meet these challenges head-on."

This announcement follows Opengear's longstanding tradition of enhancing product capabilities in line with technological advancements and customer feedback, ensuring that each solution meets or exceeds industry standards and customer expectations. As the seamless successor to Opengear’s legacy IM7200 product, the CM8100-10G-5G combines 5G technology with network management capabilities.
