ACCELERATED ACCESS A
A new high-speed access point affords improved temperature tolerance, robustness and safety
ccess points have one simple task: to extend the network via radio technology in an eff icient
manner. However, within industrial surroundings, higher requirements must be met, including temperature tolerance, robustness and safety. Speed also plays an important role for successful data communication in virtually all business fi elds. The German distributor Acceed has now incorporated the new high-speed access point IAP-1800AX from Planet into its programme, off ering Wi-Fi 6, two radio frequencies (dual band 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz), a wide temperature range from -40 to +75 °C and fi ve LAN interfaces in a metal casing. The product has been designed for professional use.
INDUSTRIAL ACCESS POINT
The IAP-1800AX is for use in harsh surroundings and works with the high-performance Wi- Fi 6 protocol (IEEE802.11ax). A data rate of 1.2 Gbit/s is achieved in the 5 GHz band.
The system works in accordance with the latest standard WPA3 SAE for the authentication and encoding.
SIMULTANEOUS OPERATION WITH
RADIO FREQUENCIES Simultaneous operation with radio frequencies in the 2.4 GHz band and 5 GHz band extend the product’s application fl exibility. Thus, for example, communication with local devices over 2.4 GHz and with a further access point over 5 GHz is possible, enabling it to form a wireless backbone. Both bands can also be used to meet the diff erent requirements of various devices, for example the 2.4 GHz band for a better range and the 5 GHz band for better performance or speed.
THE OFDMA CHANNEL SPLITTING FUNCTION Th OFDMA function from Wi-Fi 6 (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) splits the channel into smaller sub-channels, meaning several users can simultaneously transmit or receive data in the same
channel, increasing the access density for users. Constant measurement determines the reception quality of the sub-carriers for the individual users. This basis enables the system to optimise the use of the sub-carriers and therefore the spectral eff iciency. Thanks to MU-MIMO (Multi-User
Multiple Input Multiple Output) several WLAN devices can be provided with data simultaneously. This reduces waiting time as data throughput is increased throughout the entire WLAN network.
IMPORTANT IAP-1800AX FEATURES An important IAP-1800AX feature is its robust design. The metal casing (IP30) provides good protection in the industrial surroundings and is suitable for use at temperatures of -40 to +75 °C. The dual electricity supply with the wide input range from 9 to 54 V DC increases reliability and operational safety. If the initial electricity supply fails, the hardware failover function is activated automatically to supply the device via the second supply without any operational downtime. The GUI confi guration wizard
Industrial wireless access point IAP- 1800AX
supports confi guration by the system administrators via the USB 3.0 connection. Moreover, the integrated Wi-Fi analyser provides optimised real time channel load in order to avoid channel overlapping and achieve higher performance. Various alarm features save time and resources if problems are incurred, for example with the electricity supply. The digital inputs and outputs can also be used for alarm functions. The Planet Technology Corporation
was founded in 1993 and listed on the stock exchange, it is a global provider of IP-based network solutions for IoT, IIoT and IoV applications.
