RadioLinx 802.11a High Power Industrial Hotspot

RLXIB-IHA

The RadioLinx 802.11a High Power Industrial Hotspot (RLXIB-IHA) is a high-speed wireless Ethernet radio, with Power over Ethernet and Serial Encapsulation. The RLXIB-IHA operates at speeds up to 54 Mbps, using the IEEE 802.11a (5 GHz band) standard. In addition to transmit power up to 250 mW, the RLXIB-IHA offers many Industrial features including hazardous location certifications, IGMP Snooping, OFDM for noise immunity, simultaneous bridge / repeater / access point mode, OPC server diagnostics, extended operating temperature, high vibration/shock resistance and DIN-rail mounting.

Features

Benefits

Conforms to IEEE 802.11a

  • 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
  • Certification approved for use in hazardous locations and explosive atmosphere (UL1604 Class I Div 2, ATEX Zone 2 Category 3)
  • Transmit power and radio frequencies programmable for use globally

Data and Network Security

  • Cryptographic strength security with WPA2 - 802.11i with 128 bit AES encryption and CCM integrity check
  • Limit access to approved device MAC IDs

Flexible and Reliable

  • Single radio can be configured as an access point and repeater/bridge or as a client
  • User selectable automatic or manual network configuration (can be prioritized or fixed) with self-healing network and master redundancy for reliable large networks (e.g., SCADA)
  • Power over Ethernet (PoE) enables radio placement near antenna to reduce antenna cable costs and improve wireless network performance

Serial Device Connectivity

  • Encapsulation / de-encapsulation of serial data to / from TCP or UDP packets
  • Advanced features include multicast and Domain Name Server (DNS) support

Easy to Configure and Monitor

  • Built-in web server for browser-based configuration and remote diagnostics
  • Included OPC Server for HMI-based wireless network diagnostics

Configuration

RadioLinx IH Browser is a configuration and monitoring tool for the RadioLinx Industrial Hotspot radios. Use RadioLinx IH Browser to view your network topology, assign IP addresses to radios for configuration, monitor network diagnostics, update radio firmware and detect the presence of other vendors' 802.11 radios on the network.
