802.11abg Industrial Hotspot
RLXIB-IHW
The RadioLinx 802.11abg Industrial Hotspot (RLXIB-IHW) is a high-speed wireless Ethernet radio, with PoE and Serial Encapsulation. The RLXIB-IHW operates at speeds up to 54 Mbps, using the IEEE 802.11b/g (2.4 GHz band) and 802.11a (5 GHz band) standards. Designed for global installations, the RLXIB-IHW offers many Industrial features including hazardous location certifications, IGMP Snooping, OFDM for noise immunity, repeater mode for mesh architecture/self healing, OPC server diagnostics, extended temperature, high vibration/shock and DIN-rail mounting.

Benefits and Specifications
|
|
Conforms to IEEE 802.11a/b/g
|
- Open standard protects wireless network investment
- High speed (54 Mbps), low latency communications
- Radio-based IGMP snooping/querying to filter multicast industrial Ethernet maximizing bandwidth
|
|
Rugged and Powerful
|
- Metal enclosure, industrial operating temperatures, vibration and shock resistant
- Certification approved for use in hazardous locations and explosive atmosphere (UL1604 Class I Div 2, ATEX Zone 2 Category 3)
- Transmit power and radio frequencies programmable for use globally
|
|
Data and Network Security
|
- Cryptographic strength security with WPA2 - 802.11i with 128 bit AES encryption and CCM integrity check
- Limit access to approved device MAC IDs
|
|
Flexible and Reliable
|
- Single radio operates as an access point and repeater/bridge and client
- Automatic network configuration (can be prioritized or fixed) with self-healing network and master redundancy for reliable large networks (e.g., SCADA)
- Power over Ethernet (PoE) enables radio placement near antenna to reduce antenna cable costs and improve wireless network performance
|
|
Serial Device Connectivity
|
- Encapsulation / de-encapsulation of serial data to / from TCP or UDP packets
- Advanced features include multicast and Domain Name Server (DNS) support
|
|
Easy to Configure and Monitor
|
- Built-in web server for browser-based configuration and remote diagnostics
- Included OPC Server for HMI-based wireless network diagnostics
|
Configuration
RadioLinx IH Browser is a configuration and monitoring tool for the RadioLinx Industrial Hotspot radios. Use RadioLinx IH Browser to view your network topology, determine the best "path" between Master, Client and Repeater radios, and detect the presence of other vendors' 802.11 radios on the network
