Description

Industrial wireless access point (AP), bridge or client that enables wireless local area networks of Ethernet (TCP/IP) devices and equipment.

The ANW010 wireless Ethernet module is a versatile industrial networking device that can be used as a wireless access point (AP), bridge or client in order to enable wireless local area networks of Ethernet (TCP/ IP) devices and equipment to be quickly, easily and reliably established.

The ANW010 uses IEEE 802.11n technology such as spatial multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) multiplexing and dual-bands (2.4 or 5 GHz) to support the growing requirements for faster data speeds and increased transmission distances, and is backward compatible with legacy IEEE 802.11a/b/g devices. It also supports WPA/WPA2 secure encryption to help ensure that data is fully protected.

The ANW010 is simple to install, configure and integrate into existing communication infrastructures/networks in industrial environments. Accordingly, this wireless Ethernet module is ideally suited to wireless networks for machinery monitoring systems in hard-to-wire applications and/or difficult to reach areas.

In addition, the ANW010 is Ex certified so it is also suitable for use in environments characterised by hazardous areas (potentially explosive atmospheres).
