Redundant wireless AP/bridge

The Moxa AWK-5222 is a rugged, IEEE 802.11 a/b/g-compliant, 3-in-1 industrial wireless AP/bridge/client and is designed to offer a wide variety of wireless connection configurations and solutions to help create robust wireless connections for critical industrial applications.

The AWK-5222 has two independent RF modules for establishing independent wireless connections for rapid failover. The two independent RF modules give more topology choices to fit different wireless applications and also provide a flexible and highly reliable solution for industrial wireless networks. It has a wireless redundancy mode to increase the reliability of the wireless network and also includes a wireless bridge mode. The AWK-5222’s AP client mode can be used to provide internet access in areas where cabling would be too expensive or impractical to install.

The AWK-5222 is also compliant with IEEE 802.3af power-over-ethernet (PoE). With 100 ms turbo roaming, which is great for rolling stock applications, and fast basic service set (BSS) transition between access points, data transmission latency is prevented and wireless network roaming is seamless and fast. The AWK-5222 is equipped with dual ethernet ports that support RSTP or Turbo Ring for added network reliability.
