These industrial hotspot radios feature ultra-fast access point switchover times of less than 10 ms, making them suitable for such applications as automated guided vehicles and automated storage-retrieval systems. These applications can take advantage of a radiating cable antenna, which is useful for applications in which slip rings initially were used. The radios feature EtherNet/IP embedded-object and Modbus agent support, enabling users to get radio diagnostics into their PACs and PLCs, where the data can be analyzed and acted upon. This feature and SNMP support help bridge the gap between OT and IT.
