Introduction
The AWK-3131A 3-in-1 industrial wireless AP/bridge/client meets the growing need for faster data transmission speeds by supporting IEEE 802.11n technology with a net data rate of up to 300 Mbps. The AWK-3131A is compliant with industrial standards and approvals covering operating temperature, power input voltage, surge, ESD, and vibration. The two redundant DC power inputs increase the reliability of the power supply, and the AWK-3131A can be powered via PoE to make deployment easier. The AWK-3131A can operate on either the 2.4 or 5 GHz bands and is backwards-compatible with existing 802.11a/b/g deployments to future-proof your wireless investments.
Advanced 802.11n Industrial Wireless Solution
- 802.11a/b/g/n compliant AP/bridge/client for flexible deploymentSoftware optimized for long-distance wireless communication with up to 1 km line of sight and external high-gain antenna (available only on 5 GHz)Supports 60 clients connected concurrentlyDFS channel support allows a wider range of 5 GHz channel selection to avoid interference from existing wireless infrastructure
