03 / FANLESS THERMAL ENGINEERING

Cool 5G.
Without a fan.

IDY uses a six-layer sandwich thermal structure that conducts heat from the 5G RF module into the enclosure. Fanless cooling eliminates moving parts while supporting stable industrial 5G operation.

FANLESS / NO MOVING PARTSRemove moving parts. Remove one more cause of downtime.

Instead of relying on a cooling fan, a six-layer thermal path transfers heat into the enclosure — a thermal design developed for long-term industrial operation.

iR730B-001 (FN980m), 25°C ambient. Comparison of no-heatsink and top-side aluminum-heatsink configurations. No migration occurred with the top aluminum heatsink.

HIGH TEMPERATURE VERIFICATIONAt 60°C ambient: modem max 80°C, no migration.

Thermal performance is verified with real hardware even under high ambient temperatures.

INDUSTRIAL DESIGN PHILOSOPHYFanless is not about silence.
It is about staying operational.
