N-TRON introduces the new 702-W Industrial Wireless Ethernet Radio, redefining speed and industrial toughness for wireless Ethernet. IEEE 802.11a/b/g AND n support allows the 702-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. The 702-W brings a two million hour MTBF, the highest shock and vibration specifications in the industry plus the legendary Industrial toughness N-TRON products are known for to wireless Ethernet connectivity. The -40ºC to 70ºC operating temperature range means the 702-W will operate flawlessly in environments that would quickly cause less robust products to fail. Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology enables the 702-W to receive power through the Cat5e cable from a PoE sourcing device such as N-TRON's 105TX-POE Switch or 100-PoE4 Midspan. Temporary network 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 not possible. 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 the these factors. The N-TRON 702-W provides a wireless connection that can be quickly and easily deployed for these applications. With its wide operating temperature range, industrial metal housing, and a 2 million hour MTBF, the 702-W offers the same industrial ruggedness as N-TRON's family of Industrial Ethernet Switches. Three antennas enable the 702-W to utilize Multiple In, Multiple Out (MIMO) technology for increased throughput. Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology enables the 702-W to receive power through the Cat5e cable from a PoE sourcing device, such as the N-TRON 105TX-POE Switch or the 100-PoE4 Midspan. Temporary deployments of network nodes are much easier using wireless and PoE technology because only one Cat5e cable is required.

Multiple Wireless Modes

The 702-W provides a number of options that enable it to be customized to fit specific application requirements.

Station:

In "station" configuration the 702-W is used to connect a single device (MAC Address) to a wireless access point.

Station, WDS (Wireless Distribution System):

In "station, WDS" the 702-W can be connected to a remote wired switch and will 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 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 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 is used as an Access Point or an Access Point with WDS. In this mode the 702-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 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 specs, redundant power inputs, and high MTBF (greater than 2M hours).
