Wi-Fi device IE-WL-VL-AP-BR-CL Introduction

1-2

Overview

The IE-WL-VL-AP-BR-CL is 802.11n compliant to deliver speed, range, and reliability to support even the most

bandwidth-intensive applications. The 802.11n standard incorporates multiple technologies, including Spatial

Multiplexing MIMO (Multi-In, Multi-Out), 20 and 40 MHz channels, and dual bands (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) to

provide high speed wireless communication, while still being able to communicate with legacy 802.11a/b/g

devices.

The device's operating temperature ranges from -25 to 60°C for standard models and -40 to 75°C for wide

temperature models, and is rugged enough for all types of harsh industrial environments. Installation of the

IE-WL-VL-AP-BR-CL is easy using DIN-Rail mounting or distribution boxes, and with its wide operating

temperature range, IP30-rated housing with LED indicators, and DIN-Rail mounting it is a convenient yet

reliable solution for all types of industrial wireless applications.
