Moxa has released its AWK-5222 series: a shock-resistant, 3-in-1 wireless AP/bridge/client that provides dependable wireless coverage in harsh industrial environments. The rugged exterior casing of the new series houses industry-leading redundancy technology and features Moxa’s carefully designed M12 ports to deliver persistent wireless coverage users can count on for mission-critical applications.
Designed specifically for steadfast connectivity in road and rail environments, the model has been strengthened against vibration. The M12 ports protect connections to the Ethernet LAN or the antennas, building on other network protection like redundant radio frequencies to provide the most reliable wireless data transmission.
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 capability to ensure secure and foolproof wireless connectivity. With its dual RF technology, the AWK-5222-M12 can be configured to operate with dual-band 2,4/5,0 GHz redundancy using two distinct channels simultaneously, thereby reducing signal errors and data loss caused by EMI or RFI. In addition, Moxa’s dual RF solution also provides three different wireless connection modes to optimise WLAN network architecture: whether in redundant wireless mode, AP-Client mode, or bridge mode, the AWK-5222-M12 gives sturdy and reliable wireless coverage no matter what the environment.
