Core features
Weatherproof and dustproof design
IP67 protection rating: Completely dustproof, and can briefly be immersed in water (1 meter depth, 30 minutes), suitable for offshore oil drilling platforms, mining operations, and other extreme environments.
UL Class 1/2 certification: Complies with industrial safety standards, ensuring stable operation in flammable and explosive environments.
High-performance wireless communication
802.11abgn technology: Supports dual frequency bands of 2.4GHz and 5GHz (including DFS channels), with a maximum transmission rate of 300Mbps, meeting the requirements of SCADA automation, process control, and Wi-Fi infrastructure for mobile workers.
Fast roaming function: Switching time is less than 10 milliseconds, ensuring seamless switching of mobile devices (such as AGV carts, cranes) between access points, avoiding data interruption.
Industrial-grade environmental adaptability
Operating temperature range: -40°C to +75°C, suitable for extreme high or low temperature environments.
Anti-vibration and shock: Complies with IEC 60068-2-27 (20G, 3 axes) and IEC 60068-2-6 (5G, 10-150Hz) standards, suitable for industrial scenarios with intense vibration.
Safety and reliability
Data encryption: Supports 802.11i, WPA-2 personal/business-level 128-bit AES encryption, ensuring network security.
VLAN support: Achieves network segmentation, isolating different priority traffic (such as I/O control, video data).
QoS Quality of Service: Provides bandwidth guarantee for critical applications (such as real-time control).
Flexible deployment and configuration
Supports multiple modes: Access point, repeater, or client mode, suitable for different network topologies.
Ethernet power supply (PoE): Simplifies wiring and reduces installation costs.
Configuration tools: Managed locally or remotely through IH browser utility or SNMP, supports firmware updates and diagnostic monitoring.
