802.11n Industrial Hotspot
RLXIB-IHN
The RadioLinx 802.11n Industrial Hotspot series provides wireless solutions for plant-floor and field automation applications. The Industrial Hotspot family provides the rugged performance and ease of deployment required for industrial applications. These 802.11n Hotspots use multiple-input/multiple-output (MIMO) technology supporting up to 3 antennas. This allows fast data rates up to 300Mbps providing advanced performance in industrial environments.
More than just a new 802.11 technology, the RLXIB-IHN family adds RADIUS security for centralized management of security policies, VLANs for network traffic segmentation, and data prioritization while continuing to include the industrial wireless features that have made previous Industrial Hotspots successful.
