The 802.11abg Industrial Hotspot from ProSoft Technology functions as a wireless access point, repeater, or client, and offers high-speed wireless Ethernet communications including EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP/IP, and DNP over Ethernet for linking automation systems, Ethernet I/O, video cameras, and plant network access for mobile workers.
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is used to provide multi-path interference rejection, RF multicast packet filtering, and dual frequency bands, which make it suitable for demanding, high speed industrial networks needing reliable performance. And for high security applications, the RadioLinx 802.11abg Industrial Hotspot offers WPA2 (802.11i) Advanced Encryption Standard (AES-CCM) encryption and MAC ID Filtering.
Possible applications include equipment such as turntables, drums, gantry cranes, stacker/reclaimers, automated guided vehicles, or where industrial data applications need to transmit VoIP or video wirelessly.
