As first manufacturer in the Industrial Ethernet market, Hirschmann Automation and Control, a Belden brand based in Neckartenzlingen, Germany, has introduced industrial-grade wireless LAN access points featuring a wireless interface in compliance with IEEE802.11n (draft 2.0).
The new wireless standard permits similar transfer rates as achieved by a Fast Ethernet cable. Innovative MiMo (multiple input, multiple output) send and receive technology provides significantly higher reach, reliability and stability of wireless transmissions both in the 2.4 GHz and in the 5 GHz frequency range. Moreover, MiMo is particularly suitable for applications where typical industrial interferences must be expected, such as reflexions.
WLAN devices equipped with wireless interfaces according to older IEEE802.11a/b/g/h standards also benefit from the greater reach of the new access points.
Hirschmann offers its IWLAN access points in two models: BAT300-Rail, designed for installation on standard rails in control cabinets, and BAT300-F with housings rated to protection classes IP65 and IP67 for direct field installation.
The new product line will be available as of April 2009.
