1.1 General description
The devices allow you to set up WLANs (Wireless Local Area Networks) in a
local network. In contrast to a conventional network connection through
copper cables and fiber optic cables, some of the communication is
performed by means of a radio link.
The devices allow you to install a new LAN or expand an existing LAN.
Thanks to their high level of flexibility, the OpenBAT device is suitable for a
wide range of applications. Anywhere that high bandwidths, stable operation
and network security is required, WLAN with these devices provides the ideal
solution.
The devices are dual-band industrial high-performance wireless LAN access
points or clients complying with IEEE 802.11a/b/g/h/n. They provide a high
radio output with a bandwidth of up to 450 Mbit/s. The devices support MIMO
(Multiple Input Multiple Output) and Multipath. The bandwidth is increased by
using the multipath transmission by means of reflections. Each WLAN
module has 3 antennas for sending and receiving, to ensure stable network
coverage with few shadow areas.
You can choose from between a wide range of variants. You have the option
to set up your device individually based on different criteria:
Access point or client
Number of WLAN modules
Number of ports
Supply voltage range
Configuration (with or without equipment package)
Software options
Temperature range
