These industrial wireless access points are suitable for an array of applications and withstand harsh conditions. Encryption and the ability to create a virtual network among wireless clients are integrated so that communications between clients can be controlled, and imposing restrictions on data and excluding malware can be done at the same time. Equipped with a 2 x2 MIMO radio interface supporting IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n, 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz selectable bands and built-in DIN-rail mount, these wireless access points run in multiple modes such as access point (AP) mode, wireless distribution bridge mode or access point client operation mode.
