802.11abg Industrial Hotspot
RLX-IHW
The RadioLinx Industrial Hotspot (RLX-IHW) provides high speed industrial wireless Ethernet communications between Ethernet devices such as PLCs, I/O, and operator interfaces while serving as a repeater/bridge for other hotspots, and an access point for wireless clients such as laptops and PDAs.
Features and Benefits
Conforms to IEEE 802.11a/b/g
- Open standard protects wireless network investment
- High speed (54 Mbps), low latency communications
- Radio-based IGMP snooping/querying to filter multicast industrial Ethernet maximizing bandwidth
Rugged and Powerful
- Metal enclosure, industrial operating temperatures, vibration and shock resistant
- Transmit power and radio frequencies programmable for use globally
Data and Network Security
- Cryptographic strength security with WPA2/802.11i-128/192/256 bit AES encryption and CCM integrity check
- Limit access to approved device MAC IDs
- Monitors RF environment for approved/rogue radios
Flexible and Reliable
- Single radio operates as an access point and repeater/bridge and client
- Automatic network configuration (can be prioritized or fixed) with self-healing network and master redundancy for reliable large networks (e.g., SCADA)
Easy to Configure and Monitor
- Built-in web server for browser-based configuration and remote diagnostics
- Included OPC Server for HMI-based RF network diagnostics
Backed by ProSoft Technology
- Industrial data communications experts who understand your protocols, devices, and applications
- Indoor/outdoor radio network design assistance – accessory selection, path studies, and site survey
- Three year standard warranty
Applications
Use the RLX-IHW in applications where secure, high-speed, untethered Ethernet connectivity is required.
- Connect to moving or remote industrial devices while providing wireless coverage for mobile workers’ PDAs and laptops
- Combine voice, video and data on a single, high speed industrial wireless network
- Use for applications generating many packets per second or with high aggregate data requirements such as I/O messaging and client/server based HMI
