WLn-xROAD/N
11n WiFi Access Point, Ethernet Bridge, Repeater and MESH point for automotive and heavy duty applications
ACKSYS proposes a wide range of wireless equipments (WLAN) for industry and transportation fields relying on the WiFi IEEE 802.11 standards (2.4 & 5 GHz) and on the 900 MHz unlicensed radio band for long range and non-line-of-sight operation including: access points, bridges, bridges routers, repeaters, serial to wireless gateways, radio switches, packs for point to point communications.
These equipments make it possible to:
- Build a wireless network
- Connect RS232, RS422, RS485 serial equipments together without any wiring operation
- Connect Ethernet networks together without any cable
- Build a wireless bridge between a serial MODBUS network and MODBUS/TCP
- Wirelessly connect Ethernet, MODBUS/TCP, PROFINET, Ethernet/IP, DNP3 equipments .
WLn-xROAD/N is a rugged equipment designed for applications in road
transportation, depots, warehouses, agriculture, manufacturing floors, docks,
distribution centers, shipyards and lumberyards … it can be mounted in trucks,
city buses, forklifts, trailers, tractors or cranes or in any rotating machinery, for
material handling, real-time information transmission, and inventory
management.
The device relies on the multi-streams MIMO technology that contributes to an
expanded coverage, higher data throughput and increased radio link reliability.
It fulfills the most severe requirements in terms of operating environment: from -
25°C to +70°C, shockproof and vibration proof, protection against dust and
water projections (IP65).
WLn-xROAD is UTAC E2 certified (CE standard for electronic equipments
installed aboard vehicle), and can thus be installed in full safety aboard of all onroad
equipments.
