Moxa new generation AWK-6222 outdoor wireless AP/bridge/client products feature dual independent RF modules with 2,4 or 5 GHz dual-band operation for superior wireless redundancy, IP68-rated housing, -40 to 75°C operating temperature range and seamless Turbo Roaming. This unique industrial blend allows users to achieve ultra-reliable wireless networks under challenging outdoor mobile conditions.
The AWK-6222 is IEEE 802.11 a/b/g-compliant and can be configured as an access point, bridge, or client. The dual independent RF modules can be set up as independent wireless connections by using different frequencies (24 or 5 GHz dual-band operation) to avoid interruptions by radio interference and provide outstanding wireless reliability. Thanks to the dual Ethernet ports that support RSTP and Moxa’s Turbo Ring, the AWK-6222 is a highly flexible and reliable solution for the entire network. Moreover, it is IEEE 802.3af PoE compliant, which enables simple power distribution for hard-to-wire, outdoor and remote areas. WEP, WPA/WPA2, and IEEE 802.1X authentication provide enhanced wireless network security.
Units are IP68 certified and equipped with rugged M12 connectors to prevent damage from moisture, dust and vibration. Transmission distances of 10 kilometres are achievable and the modules possess E/e mark certification for motor vehicles plus meet the EN50155/EN50121-3-2/50121-4 standards for railway and rolling stock. For enhanced flexibility, the AWK-6222’s detachable antenna design gives users the freedom to choose a suitable function-specific antenna for best coverage.
