Stay connected with Moxa's dual RF wireless module

December 2012 Data Acquisition & Telemetry

Moxa has released its AWK-5222 series: a shock-resistant, 3-in-1 wireless AP/bridge/client that provides dependable coverage for harsh, indoor industrial environments. The rugged exterior casing of the new AWK-5222-M12 houses industry-leading redundancy technology and features Moxa’s carefully designed M12 ports to deliver persistent wireless coverage for mission-critical applications.

Shock resistant M12 ports

Designed specifically for steadfast connectivity in road and rail environments, the AWK-5222-M12 model has been strengthened against the threats posed by constant and intense vibration. The M12 ports firmly secure connections to both Ethernet LANs and antennas against the effects of constant vibration, building on other network protections like redundant radio frequencies to provide the most reliable wireless module for use along overland transport corridors.

Doubled RF

In addition to the physical security provided by its outer design, the internals of the AWK-5222-M12 have been engineered with dual RF mechanics, to ensure secure and foolproof wireless connectivity. With its dual RF technology, the unit can be configured to operate with dual-band 2,4/5 GHz redundancy, using two distinct channels simultaneously to reduce signal errors and data loss caused by EM or RF interference. In addition, Moxa’s latest dual RF solution also provides three different wireless connection modes to let users optimise their WLAN network architecture: whether in redundant wireless mode, AP-Client mode, or bridge mode, the transmitter provides sturdy wireless coverage in all environments.

Other key features include:

* IEEE 802.11a/b/g compliant.

* RSTP for dual Ethernet redundancy.

* Supports 100 ms redundant roaming.

* Features industrial grade QoS (WMM) and VLAN.

* Temperature ranges from -40 to 75°C.
