ADVANTECH Industrial Wi-Fi AP with 2x RS-232/422/485 ports

Model APXN-Q5420 industrial wireless access point is built for networking equipment in an array of machine-to-machine (M2M) applications. The access point features industrial strength packaging and supports a wide temperature range (-40 to 85°C) to withstand challenging M2M environments. Combination Access Point and Client Capability - The AirborneM2M access point enables M2M equipment to create a self-sufficient Wi-Fi network and provides easy access to equipment data or resources from Wi-Fi enabled devices. The product also has the capability to be switched from an access point to a client; supporting both a single or dual RS-232/422/485 serial ports or a single 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port. The Ethernet port can be placed in either router or bridge mode. Dual-Band Wi-Fi - the access point establishes wireless connections over both 2.4 and 5 GHz bands. Whenever the 2.4 GHz airspace is overcrowded with competing wireless transmission, the access point can be switched to 5 GHz band to keep data flowing. Enterprise Class Security - Security protocols are important to mission critical wireless M2M applications. AirborneM2M access point multi-layer security addresses the requirements of Enterprise-class networks and corporate IT departments. These advanced security features include wireless security (802.11i/WAP2 enterprise), authentication security using WPA2 (AES-CCMP) and device security (multi-layered encryption). The access point includes a fully functional DHCP server to provide unique addresses for each authenticated client. Up to 10 clients can be supported on the local Wi-Fi network. External 5-36 VDC power source required (not included, sold separately)
