Prosoft RLX2-IHNF-W 802.11abgn Weatherproof IP67 Fast Industrial Hotspot

The ProSoft Technology Weatherproof IP67 Fast Industrial Hotspot (RLX2-IHNF-W)

is designed for harsh environments and features an IP66/67 rating. It is water-tight

for use in extreme weather applications such as offshore oil rigs, and dust-tight for

use in mining applications. It operates in the 2.4 or 5 GHz bands, including DFS

channels, and is good for applications up to 2 mi. / 3.2 km.

The Hotspot supports Access Point, Repeater, and Client modes. The 802.11n

technology delivers fast data rates up to 300 Mbps. This provides excellent packet

per-second performance and robust communications in rugged industrial

environments. The 802.11n MIMO & Channel bonding supports demanding

wireless applications such as Ethernet I/O and high-resolution video.

The included IH Browser configuration and monitoring software allows the user to

view network topology, assign IP addresses, monitor network diagnostics, and

update radio firmware. The optional OPC Diagnostic Server is ideal for managing

long-range wireless SCADA networks.

Features

 802.11n MIMO & Channel bonding supports demanding wireless applications

such as Ethernet I/O and high-resolution video

 EtherNet/IP™-or Modbus®-based PLCs/PACs can use message instructions to

read diagnostic information from the radios,

helping to reduce down time when troubleshooting wireless network problems

 802.11i, WPA-2 Personal/Enterprise using 128-bit AES encryption ensures secure

networking

 RADIUS security ensures secure networking with advanced authentication and

encryption

 Virtual Local Area Networks (VLAN) allow for secure network segmentation

 Quality of Service (QoS) provides data prioritization for I/O control devices,

video, data, etc.

 Ultra-Fast Roaming (under 10 ms) maintains seamless, high-speed connections

to one or more devices on moving equipment

and machines (such as cranes, AGVs, and carriers) as they travel between access

points

 IGMP Snooping and Packet Filtering optimizes UDP multicast traffic for superior

EtherNet/IP I/O communications

 Supports the ability to communicate with multiple Ethernet devices when used

with existing third-party wireless infrastructures

 Supports AeroScout RTLS (real-time location services) tagging by passing signals

from tags to the network

 Supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) to reduce cabling costs

 Connect serial networks (Modbus, DNP 3. etc.) over 802.11 wireless networks

 Supports SNMP

 Simple local and remote configuration, monitoring, and wireless network diagnostics
