RadioLinx® 802.11n
Industrial Hotspot
RLXIB-IHN
 

 
The RadioLinx 802.11n Industrial Hotspot series provides enterprise-class technology, optimized for
rugged industrial performance and easy deployment in the field. These 802.11n Hotspots use
multiple-input/multiple-output (MIMO) technology supporting up to 3 antennas. This allows fast data
rates up to 300Mbps with EtherNet/IP Requested Packet Interval (RPI) times as low as 2 ms.
More than just a new 802.11 technology, the RLXIB-IHN family adds RADIUS security for centralized
management of security policies, VLANs for network traffic segmentation, and data prioritization
while continuing to include the industrial wireless features that have made previous Industrial
Hotspots successful.
