RadioLinx 802.11n Weatherproof Industrial Hotspot
RLXIB-IHN-W(C)
The RadioLinx 802.11n Industrial Hotspot series provides wireless solutions for plant-floor and field automation applications. The Industrial Hotspot family offers rugged performance and ease of deployment for industrial applications. These 802.11n Hotspots use multiple-input/multiple-output (MIMO) technology, supporting up to three antennas. This allows fast data rates up to 300 Mbps, providing advanced performance in industrial environments. The Weatherproof RLXIB-IHN-W has an IP67 rating, making it water-tight and dust-tight for use in all-weather and mining applications.
More than just a new 802.11 technology, the RLXIB-IHN family adds RADIUS security for centralized management of security policies, VLANs for network traffic segmentation and data prioritization, while continuing to include the industrial wireless features that have made previous Industrial Hotspots successful.
