The RadioLinx® Industrial Frequency Hopping 2.4GHz series of radios
provide powerful and secure wireless Ethernet and serial communications.
They are well suited for demanding, long-range (up to 15+ miles) SCADA
and other Ethernet applications, including those in harsh or
hazardous environments. Operating in the internationally license-free
2.4 GHz band, the RLX-IFH24E offers an alternative when other wireless
technologies cannot be used due to government regulations, band saturation, or customer preference.
The
RLX-IFH24E is user configurable as a master, repeater and remote radio.
It provides virtual peer-to-peer packet switching and network
optimization using advanced Smart Switch technology. Combined with an
industry leading high-speed transmitter, the RLX-IFH24E is ideal for
applications requiring fast and reliable communications at long distances.
The
RLX-IFH24E is quickly configured using the included, graphical
ControlScape software. An OPC server software is also included and
allows users to monitor radio network health with any OPC client based
HMI software. The RLX-IFH24E employs proprietary frequency hopping
algorithms and 128 bit AES encryption algorithm approved by most
governments for critical networks.
