Wireless Access Points/Bridges

The AirborneM2M™ line of industrial wireless access points is built for networking equipment in an array of machine-to-machine (M2M) applications. AirborneM2M™ Access Point features industrial strength packaging and support a wide temperature rating (-40° to 85°C) to withstand challenging M2M environments. Power options include 5-36VDC input or PoE 802.3af (Power over Ethernet) on select models.

Combination Access Point and Client Capability

The AirborneM2M™ Access Point enables M2M equipment to create a self sufficient Wi-Fi network and easy access to equipment data or resources from WiFi enabled devices. The product also has the capability to be switched from an access point to a client; supporting both a single or dual RS-232/422/485 serial ports or a single 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port. The Ethernet port can be placed into either a router or bridge mode.

Dual-Band Wi-Fi

The AirborneM2M™ products establish wireless connections over both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. Whenever the 2.4 GHz airspace is overcrowded with competing wireless transmission, AirborneM2M™ products can be switched over to 5 GHz band to keep data flowing.

Enterprise Class Security

Security protocols are important to mission critical wireless M2M applications. The AirborneM2M™ Access Point multi-layer security approach addresses the requirements of Enterprise-class networks and corporate IT departments. These advanced security features include wireless security (802.11i/WAP2 enterprise); authentication security using WPA2 (AES-CCMP) and device security (multi-layered encryption). The AirborneM2M™ access point includes a fully functional DHCP server to provide unique addresses for each authenticated client. Up to 10 clients can be supported on the local Wi-Fi network.

The EKI-6331AN is a feature rich wireless AP/Client which provides a reliable 5GHz wireless connectivity for industrial environments. The PoE injector enhances flexibility in deployment of this AP/Client even where the DC power supply is hard to fulfill. As an 802.11n compliant device, EKI-6331AN provides 6 times higher data rates than legacy 802.11a devices. With MIMO 2 x 2 technology, EKI-6331AN provides both robust wireless connectivity as well as high throughput rate in wireless transmission. With the support of WMM and IGMP snooping protocols, EKI-6331AN effectively improves the reliability of wireless connectivity, especially in applications that need high reliability and high throughput data transmission. To secure wireless connections, EKI-6331AN implements the latest encryption technologies including WPA2/WPA/802.1x for powerful security authentication.
