WL-ACCESS

WiFi access point and Ethernet bridge for industrial applications



The WL-ACCESS device used in the ACCESS POINT mode makes it possible to create an industrial WiFi wireless network from any industrial equipment featuring an 10/100 Ethernet interface.

Used in the BRIDGE mode, the WL-ACCESS enables to connect any industrial equipment featuring a 10/100 Ethernet interface to the WiFi wireless network.

The WL-ACCESS device is also designed to work as a wireless bridge between the wired MODBUS/TCP protocol and the radio network, this feature allows to connect any MODBUS/TCP equipment to this network.

Thanks to its built-in WEB interface, the setup of the device is achieved using the web browser installed on your computer (Internet Explorer, Netscape, Mozilla ...).
WL-ACCESS doesn't require any additional software to be installed in your computer (no peripheral driver needed).

WL-ACCESS comes with omnidirectional 2 dBi built-in antennas (standard coverage), an external higher gain antenna can be connected instead for long distance communications through a RP-SMA connector.

Integrators and manufacturers (point of sales, medical instrumentation, industrial automation, security systems, building automation, mobile devices ...) can right now rely on this new technology to build safety wireless network applications while freeing themselves from wiring constraints.
