Moxa offers a range of wireless access points (APs), bridges, and clients designed for industrial environments. These devices help facilitate wireless communication in situations where traditional wired connections are impractical or too costly to implement. Moxa’s wireless solutions provide reliable, high-performance connectivity with advanced features, ensuring robust and secure communication for industrial automation, remote monitoring, and other critical applications. Here’s a detailed overview of Moxa Wireless APs, Bridges, and Clients: 1. Moxa Wireless Access Point (AP) A Wireless Access Point (AP) is a device that provides wireless network connectivity to devices within a specified area. Moxa’s wireless APs are designed for industrial applications, offering features like high-speed data transmission, enhanced security, and reliable performance in harsh environments. Key Features: IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac: Moxa wireless APs support the most common Wi-Fi standards (802.11a/b/g/n) for fast and reliable wireless communication. Dual Band Support: Most Moxa wireless APs support dual-band (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) Wi-Fi, providing more flexibility and reducing network congestion in busy wireless environments. High Throughput: Depending on the model, Moxa APs can provide speeds of up to 1 Gbps or more, ensuring that high-bandwidth applications (like video streaming or real-time monitoring) run smoothly. Industrial-grade Durability: Moxa wireless APs are designed to operate in harsh industrial environments, including extreme temperatures, humidity, and electromagnetic interference (EMI). Security Features: Moxa wireless APs offer advanced security features such as WPA3 encryption, VPN support, and MAC address filtering, ensuring secure communication across the wireless network. Multiple SSIDs: Some models support multiple SSIDs (Service Set Identifiers), which allows multiple networks to run simultaneously on the same AP, making it ideal for segmenting traffic based on specific needs (e.g., one for management, another for general use). PoE (Power over Ethernet): Many Moxa wireless APs support PoE, simplifying installation by eliminating the need for a separate power supply and reducing cable clutter. Applications: Industrial Automation: Moxa wireless APs can connect remote devices (e.g., sensors, cameras, PLCs) to the central control system without the need for wiring. Video Surveillance: APs are ideal for wireless surveillance systems where cabling is impractical. Logistics and Warehouses: Ensures reliable wireless communication for devices like handheld scanners, RFID readers, and mobile computers in environments like warehouses or shipping facilities. 2. Moxa Wireless Bridge A wireless bridge connects two wired networks using wireless communication, allowing devices on separate networks to communicate with each other without the need for physical cabling. Moxa’s wireless bridges are designed to extend network connectivity to remote or hard-to-reach locations where laying cables is not feasible. Key Features: Point-to-Point and Point-to-Multi-Point: Moxa wireless bridges support both point-to-point (connecting two locations) and point-to-multi-point (connecting multiple locations) communication. This flexibility makes them suitable for various network topologies. High-Speed Data Transmission: Moxa wireless bridges support high-speed wireless communication, with throughput up to 1 Gbps, ensuring efficient data transfer over long distances. Long-Distance Connectivity: Many Moxa wireless bridges can cover distances up to several kilometers, depending on the environment and the specific model, making them ideal for large-scale industrial facilities, campuses, or outdoor environments. Industrial-Grade Build: These devices are built to withstand harsh environments, such as extreme temperatures, humidity, and exposure to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Reliable Performance: Moxa wireless bridges come with automatic frequency hopping and channel selection to avoid interference, ensuring stable performance even in crowded wireless environments. Integrated Antennas: Moxa wireless bridges often feature high-gain antennas, optimizing wireless coverage and performance over long distances. PoE Support: Like APs, Moxa wireless bridges also support Power over Ethernet (PoE), reducing installation complexity.
