RLX-IHW-66
The RadioLinx Industrial Hotspot (RLX-IHW-66) 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
• IP66 metal enclosure, industrial operating temperatures, vibration and shock resistant
• Certification Pending for use in hazardous locations (UL1604 Class 1 Div 2, ATEX Zone 2)
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
• Power over Ethernet (PoE) enables radio placement near antenna to reduce antenna cable costs and improve wireless network performance
• 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-66 in applications where secure, high-speed, untethered Ethernet connectivity is required outdoors or in indoor environments requiring dust-tight or water-tight protection:
• 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
