RadioLinx Industrial Frequency Hopping 2.4GHz Ethernet
RLX-IFH24E
The RLX-IFH24E provides powerful and secure wireless Ethernet communications and is well suited for demanding, long-range (up to 15+ miles) SCADA and other Ethernet applications in tough environments. Operating in the internationally license-free 2.4 GHz band, the RLX-IFH24E offers an alternative when 900 MHz radios cannot be used due to government regulations, band saturation, or customer preference. The RLX-IFH24E is user configurable as a master, repeater and remote radio and employs the 128 bit AES encryption algorithm approved by the United States government for top secret information.
RLX-IFH24E radios are quickly and easily configured using the included, graphical ControlScape software. An OPC server software is also included and allows users to monitor radio network health with any OPC client based HMI software.
