Industrial WLAN Access Point AW5601 f0r Profinet

AW5601 is a rugged, industrial-grade wireless access point suited for harsh conditions. Utilizing the 5GHz frequency band, AW5601 causes minimal interference with existing wireless devices, allowing easy upscaling of systems. Besides basic AP/Client modes, an additional WDS Bridge mode allows distribution from a WDS Root to multiple WDS Hybrids and wireless devices. WDS Root and Hybrids have the same wireless MAC address, SSID, and wireless channel settings, forming a larger, more flexible wireless network than simple APs.

Developed specifically with industrial automation in mind, the AW5601 features Flash Roaming and PROFINET transparency, empowering AGV/AMR applications with less latency, simpler topologies, and higher efficiency, which can be further enhanced with PoE PD support.

Security is also vital in AW5601’s design. State-of-the-art encryption complements the ability to create a virtual network among wireless clients, enabling easy and intuitive communication control between clients while imposing restrictions on data and excluding malware. And finally, AW5601 embodies a robust wireless network manager to help your network deliver optimal performance.
