BlitzFunk industrial real‍-‍time WLAN system

Click2Contact

BlitzFunk from fuenfeinhalb Funksysteme GmbH is an industrial real-time WLAN system for switched Ethernet communication with a low latency in the millisecond range. A BlitzFunk network consists of access points and clients. It serves as a drop-in replacement for existing wired installations and is designed to enable high-mobility applications like automated guided vehicles, mobile robots, overhead cranes and other dynamic industrial machinery with seamless handover. Ethernet-based protocols, including PROFINET, PROFIsafe and OPC-UA, are supported out of the box.

Real-time applications must respond to events within a defined time. A proprietary protocol coordinates who can transmit and when. This ensures latency and data rate are fixed in advance, regardless of the number of devices. Redundancy in frequency and space is designed to provide high service quality even under challenging conditions.

Conventional Wi-Fi access points must be carefully positioned and configured to avoid interference. When a client moves between access points, brief interruptions occur. BlitzFunk access points work together. They can share the same channels without interfering with each other. Clients move seamlessly between access points without impacting latency or data rate.

BlitzFunk supports the often-unused 6 GHz band and the rarely used SRD channels at 5.8 GHz. It offers fast setup, and communication is encrypted and authenticated.
