Losing the ugly antenna for good
Ever since we started communicating via vast distances, we have always relied on antennas.
Antennas started to lose popularity as we became more advances and soon, latest technologies have seen antennas disappear altogether.
Antenna, as we all know, is essential for us to transmit and receive data. Most of the time, antennas are troublesome to handle (not to mention stiff).
Gone were the days where our mobile phone has to come with an “ugly” protruding antenna.
Smart Technology to meet Tomorrow’s Demands
Moving our attention with respect to Industrie 4.0 environment for factory automation, Phoenix Contact’s WLAN 1100 has adopted the innovative approach in integrating antennas and the wireless module in one device.
This has enabled tremendous ease and inexpensive access to a stable WLAN network on the machine.

Presenting the new WLAN 1100. This tiny creature can save you tons of dollars and space.
The increasing digitalization in the industry and other current trends in machine building and logistics, calls for a need for solutions in the field of intelligent communication between humans, objects, and systems.
Some of these trends require a wireless communication solution in order to achieve this. The key requirements are:
- Simplicity in setting up (With new technology, who says it has to be complicated?)
- Robustness against the demanding environment (Most of the communication systems in the market cannot guaranty against the physically straining situations)
- Reliability in the communication network
How do we address the above requirements?
- Integration of antennas and wireless modules in a single device to make installation hassle free and eliminate the need to purchase expensive external antennas.
- With the extremely robust housing (impact-resistant to IK08) WLAN 1100 is virtually indestructible (you heard that right).
- With it small form factor design, it makes it easy to implement onto existing machine.

Less than half the cost. No more separate antennas and modules. We combine both technologies into 1 system.
In conclusion, the WLAN 1100 wireless module makes it super-duper easy to install fast and stable WLAN network onto your current machines.
So, in short, we’re giving you all this, at the fraction of the cost!
Compare our WLAN solutions versus what you’ll be paying for huge, complicated and delicate systems that cost a bomb.
