Industrial IEEE 802.11n Dual-Radio Wireless AP/Bridge/Client

The AWK-5232 Industrial a/b/g/n Wireless AP/bridge/client is an ideal wireless solution for hard-to-wire situations and all mobile equipment which is connected over a TCP/IP network. It can provide a faster connection and wider range than 802.11g models, especially a noticeably stronger connection at distance. With two independent RF modules, the AWK-5232 allows two independent wireless connections over different frequencies, and supports a great variety of wireless configurations and applications. The AWK-5232 is compliant with the industrial standards and approvals, covering operating temperature, power input voltage, surge, ESD and vibration. The AWK-5232’s two DC power inputs increases the power supply reliability, and it can also be powered via PoE+ for easier deployment.
