ProSoft Technology has added the 802.11abg Industrial Hotspot to its RadioLinx product line. The RLX-IHW functions as a wireless access point, repeater, or client. Designed for global installations, it offers high-speed wireless Ethernet communications including EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP/IP, and DNP over Ethernet for linking automation systems, Ethernet I/O, video cameras, and plant network access for mobile workers. The RLX-IHW utilizes orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) for multipath interference rejection, RF multicast packet filtering, and dual frequency bands. For high security applications, the RadioLinx 802.11abg Industrial Hotspot offers WPA2 (802.11i) Advanced Encryption Standard (AES-CCM) encryption and MAC ID Filtering. It is also equipped with RF-based Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) Snooping, a tool which allows multicast filtering at the wireless level. www.prosoft-technology.com ProSoft Technology
