PLUG-AND-PLAY Point-to-Point WIFI connection, AIRXROAD-BRIDGE
Acksys introduces the Ethernet AirXroad-Bridge set, a Plug-and-Play solution for replacing an Ethernet cable or mobile connection between two devices such as PCs, video surveillance cameras, PLCs, etc. or as a wireless bridge between two independent networks (for example, between two buildings). The kit consists of two pre-configured WiFi modules and requires no further settings and is protocol independent and can be used for PROFINET applications, among other things. The AirXroad-Bridge uses the 5GHz WiFi standard for WiFi equipment and multiple modules can be used side by side. The radio link between the two AirXroad-Bridge modules is secured by the WPA2PSK authentication and encryption method and all parameters are factory set and ready for immediate use. Furthermore, the modules are equipped with LEDs for indication of LAN and WAN data traffic and power supply (+9VDC/+48VDC or PoE) and Ethernet (Auto-sensing 10/100/1000MB) connections. Various MIMO antennas can be screwed onto the SMA-RP connectors (possibly with an adapter cable) for optimal data communication. Depending on the type of antenna, distances of up to approx. 300 m can be bridged with a transmit power of +21dBm and a receive sensitivity of -92dBm. The AirXroad-Bridge in IP66 housing is suitable for applications in distribution centers, ports, road transport, agriculture, etc.
