Information

This industrial hotspot provides secure wireless solutions for various applications, including plant-floor automation, SCADA, process control systems, and mobile worker Wi-Fi infrastructure. Operating in the 2.4 or 5 GHz bands (including DFS channels), it is suitable for both indoor and outdoor deployments.

Supporting Access Point, Repeater, and Client modes, the RLX2-IHNF leverages 802.11n technology for data rates up to 300 Mbps, delivering robust communication in industrial environments. 802.11n MIMO and channel bonding support demanding applications like Ethernet I/O and high-resolution video.

The included IH Browser software facilitates configuration, monitoring, network diagnostics, and firmware updates. An optional OPC Diagnostic Server is available for managing large-scale wireless SCADA networks.
