Industrial communications and networking vendor Moxa has launched the AWK-3252A wi-fi AP/bridge/consumer to fulfill the rising want for sooner knowledge transmission speeds.
The AWK-3252A goals to optimise cellular automation and IP surveillance techniques in mining, manufacturing, healthcare, transportation, and different industries, driving improved outcomes particularly the place Autonomous Guided Automobiles (AGVs) and Autonomous Cellular Robots (AMRs) are on the coronary heart of boosting productiveness and operational security.
Able to concurrent dual-band Wi-Fi, the Moxa AWK-3252A presents 802.11ac efficiency with DFS channel assist, the most recent WPA3 encryption for a further layer of WLAN safety, aggregated knowledge charges as much as 1.267 Gbps, and millisecond-level client-based Turbo Roaming for <150 ms restoration time between APs.
Two redundant DC energy inputs improve the reliability of the facility provide, and the AWK-3252A may be powered through PoE to facilitate versatile deployment. Mixed, these options simplify industrial wi-fi operations and the mixing of cellular techniques outfitted with advanced sensors and cameras, whereas guaranteeing excessive efficiency to handle the necessities for dependable and futureproof techniques.
The AWK-3252A is compliant with IEC 62443-4-2 and IEC 62443-4-1 industrial cybersecurity certifications — which cowl each product safety and safe growth life-cycle necessities — serving to system integrators meet the compliance necessities of safe industrial community design, leading to decrease growth danger, time, and price.
Constructed for demanding industrial use, the AWK-3252A is protected inside a metallic IP30-rated housing with DIN-Rail mounting or non-compulsory wall mounting. Built-in antenna isolation safeguards in opposition to exterior electrical interference.
For these putting in community units in hazardous places, the AWK-3252A is licensed for Class 1, Division 2 (C1D2) areas the place the danger of explosion exists. An prolonged temperature model of the gadget is secure to make use of from -40 to 75°C to make sure easy wi-fi communication in exceptionally harsh environments.
