Description

The Dell PowerEdge XR5610 is Dell's highly versatile 1U rugged server successor to the XR11, purpose-engineered to bridge the gap between powerful data center technology and challenging deployment locations at the Edge.

Its single-socket platform features the latest Intel Xeon Scalable Processor with vRAN Boost, making it an ideal engine for computationally intensive, low-latency 5G vRAN and O-RAN telecom workloads that require precision timekeeping (PTP/SyncE).

Designed for harsh environments, the XR5610 is tested against MIL-STD 810H and NEBS Level 3 standards, supporting a wide operational temperature range ( $-5^\circ \text{C}$ to $55^\circ \text{C}$ ). The chassis is short-depth ( $\approx 463 \text{mm}$ ) and utilizes a Reverse I/O design, making it simple to install and service in constrained spaces like telecom cabinets, retail back rooms, or military field operations, while maintaining physical security with an optional filtered bezel. It delivers high-performance compute for distributed workloads such as IoT data aggregation, video analytics, and Point-of-Sale (PoS) applications.
