Introduction
The AWK-4131A outdoor wireless AP/bridge/client is the ideal outdoor wireless solution for industrial applications that are hard to wire, too expensive to wire, or use mobile equipment that connect to a TCP/IP network. The AWK-4131A’s dust-tight/weatherproof design is IP68-rated, allowing you to extend existing wired networks to outdoor locations and critical environments. The two redundant DC power inputs increase the reliability of the power supply and can be powered via PoE for easier deployment. The AWK-4121 is compliant with the essential sections of EN 50155, covering operating temperature, power input voltage, surge, ESD and vibration. With many hardened industrial-grade features, the AWK-4131 will provide stable and reliable wireless connectivity, even in harsh outdoor environments.
Industrial and Outdoor Rated Features for Critical Environments
- IP68-rated metal housing and -40 to 75°C wide operating temperature
- Anti-vibration M12 design and waterproof/dust-tight RJ45 connectors
- PoE and dual DC power inputs
Specifications for Industrial-grade Applications
- Long-distance data transmission over 10 km
- Integrated DI/DO for on-site monitoring and warnings
- Status LED indicators for on-site monitoring and diagnosis
