RLXIB-IHW
The RadioLinx® 802.11abg Industrial Hotspot™ (RLXIB-IHW) is a high-speed
wireless Ethernet radio, with PoE and Serial Encapsulation. The RLXIB-IHW
operates at speeds up to 54 Mbps, using the IEEE 802.11b/g (2.4 GHz band)
and 802.11a (5 GHz band) standards. Designed for global installations, the
RLXIB-IHW offers many Industrial features including hazardous location
certifications, IGMP Snooping, OFDM for noise immunity, repeater mode for
mesh architecture/self healing, OPC server diagnostics, extended
temperature, high vibration/shock and DIN-rail mounting.
