N-TRON 802.11a/b/g/n Wireless Ethernet Radios: Models 702-W & 702M12-W

Available from B&B Electronics Manufacturing Company, new N-TRON 702-W & 702M12-W Industrial Ethernet Radios redefine speed and industrial toughness for wireless Ethernet. IEEE 802.11a/b/g AND n support allows Models 702-W & 702M12-W to utilize three antennas and Multiple In/Multiple Out (MIMO) technology for increased throughput. This yields the highest data rates of any industrial wireless device available today!

Models 702-W & 702M12-W bring a 2-million hour MTBF, the highest shock and vibration specifications in the industry, plus the legendary industrial toughness that N-TRON products are known for, to wireless Ethernet connectivity. The -40 to 70ºC operating temperature range means both radios will operate flawlessly in environments that would quickly cause less robust products to fail.

Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) technology enables the 702-W and 7-2M12-W to receive power through the Cat5e cable from a PoE sourcing device such as NTRON's 105TX-POE Switch or 100-PoE4 Midspan (also available from B&B Electronics). Temporary network node deployments are much easier using wireless and PoE technology, because only one Cat5e cable is required. All of these features combine to provide a powerful combination: the highest data rates available plus the ability to deploy a wireless network in environments where it was previously impossible. Web browser management and useful LED displays, including four user-definable LED's assure that configuring, maintaining, and assessing the status of the network is as user-friendly as possible.

Applications - With the proliferation of Ethernet in the industrial environment, situations arise where the installation of fiber or Cat5e cables and associated power cables is inconvenient, difficult, cost prohibitive or a combination of these factors. The N-TRON 702-W & 702M12-W provide a wireless connection that can be quickly and easily deployed for these challenging applications.

Multiple Wireless Modes - The 702-W & 702M12-W provide a number of options that enable customization to fit specific application requirements:

• Station - In "station" configuration, the 702-W & 702M12-W can be used to connect a single device (MAC Address) to a wireless access point.
• Station, WDS (Wireless Distribution System) - In "station, WDS" the 702-W & 702M12-W can be connected to a remote wired switch and allow multiple devices (MAC Addresses forwarding) to be connected to the wireless access point with WDS activated.
• Access Point - The "Access Point" mode allows the 702-W & 702M12-W to serve as a wireless switch for the wireless stations attached to it. Wireless access points are commonly used to create one wireless local area network (WLAN) that spans an area around the Access Point. Each access point typically supports up to 253 stations.
• Access Point, WDS (Wireless Distribution System) - The 702-W & 702M12-W in "Access Point, WDS" mode allows wireless connection of a number of access points to extend the coverage of the wireless network. The main base Access Point in WDS mode is extended using a series of relay Access points in WDS mode (Extended Service Set) and can in turn form a WLAN consisting of thousands of stations. All stations should be configured in "Station WDS" mode. Correctly configured switches using WDS will create a single network providing station mobility throughout the wireless network.
• Multiple Network Modes Bridge - "Bridge" operating mode is selected by default as it is widely used when the 702-W & 702M12-W are used as an Access Point or an Access Point with WDS. In this mode, the 702-W & 702M12-W will operate in layer two with no network segmentation.
• Router - "Router" operating mode offers layer three routing to allow network segmentation.

Industrial Packaging and Specifications - The 702-W & 702M12-W is specifically designed to operate in industrial environments. The rugged enclosure combined with extended industrial specifications and features to meet or exceed the operating parameters of the connected equipment. These include extended temperature ratings, extended shock and vibrations specifications, redundant power inputs, and high MTBF (greater than 2M hours).
