Throughput Technologies has introduced the new RadioLinx 802.11abg Industrial Hotspot Ethernet radios from ProSoft Technology. The devices are available in both DIN mounting for panels, as well as in water and dust-proof enclosures. Field applications exposed to severe conditions, such as those on oil rigs or the wash-down areas of manufacturing plants, can benefit from the wireless product family.
The RLX-IH65W offers Power over Ethernet (PoE), which allows the radio to be installed close to the antenna, reducing antenna cable loss and so maximising range. The 802.11abg radio is designed for global applications and uses advanced features to create a reliable, versatile solution for demanding industrial networks. Features of the RLX-IH65W include the following:
* IP65 rated for water resistance and dust-tight.
* Power over Ethernet (PoE) for easier installation.
* Dual frequency band (2,4 and 5 GHz).
* OPC server included to embed diagnostics in HMI clients.
* Programmable RF power output to meet regional regulations.
* Support for high-speed applications like video and EtherNet/IP I/O.
* UL1604 Class 1, Div 2 approved for hazardous environments.
* Support for Voice over IP (VoIP).
* Automatic network configuration with self-healing network.
* Multiple master network architecture for large networks such as scada.
* Includes bracket for mounting to poles up to 3 inches in diameter.
* Die-cast Aluminium enclosure.
* Supports distances of up to 8 kilometres at 54 Mbps.
All ProSoft Technology RadioLinx products come with a three-year minimum warranty and unlimited technical support.
