FH Ethernet
RLX-FHE
The RadioLinx Frequency Hopping Ethernet radio is designed to operate in high-interference environments by combining advanced frequency hopping and digital signal processing technology with outstanding receiver sensitivity and antenna diversity. This combination results in exceptional noise and interference rejection.
The RLX-FHE is compatible with all protocols that run over standard IEEE 802.3 Ethernet including TCP/IP, UDP, IPX, NetBEUI, BootP, EtherNet/IP, and Modbus/TCP. The RLX-FHE simultaneously supports multiple 802.3 compliant protocols.
- Supports up to 1000 addressed devices with 2000 radios and 78 repeaters per network
- 64 user-selectable data channels for multiple network operation
- Active antenna diversity
- 2.4 GHz frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) technology
- Secure wireless communications with data encryption, proprietary radio protocol, and 2.4 GHz FHSS physical layer
- Industrial temperature range
- 15+ (24 km) mile range with high-gain antennas (longer with repeaters)
- Remote diagnostics without interrupting data communications
- Over air user programmability (after initial configuration) using Windows-based software
- Three year standard warranty
