The demand for data and information flow is growing.  You need to get your machine networked with the absolute minimum fuss.

The new WLAN 1100 provides a compact space saving solution by combining an access point and antenna in a single device. Two powerful antennas with MIMO technology ensure fast and stable wireless in your application.  In contrast to the classic concept, it is installed like an antenna directly onto machinery, mobile vehicles or control cabinets, rather than inside the control cabinet, saving valuable space.

The two integrated high performance antennae with MIMO technology ensure reception wherever it is needed. This concept offers the user not only a cost-effective but also extremely simple WLAN machine connection. There is no need for expensive WLAN planning or installation of antenna technology.

As the wireless module does not require space in the control cabinet it is simple to retrofit. It is attached using single-hole assembly and via a Combicon connector and RJ45 Ethernet connector, as usual. The wireless module is also suitable for tough industrial environments. It is shock proof according to IK08 and therefore even withstands stronger mechanical loads.
