Airborne Industrial Wireless Serial Device Servers

802.11b/g Industrial Serial Wireless Solutions

For industrial grade, 802.11 wireless serial to ethernet converters and wireless Ethernet bridge adapters, Quatech's Airborne product family is the industry leader.

Airborne is a family of fully integrated 802.11b/g wireless LAN bridge and serial device server products designed specifically to provide wireless LAN and Internet connectivity to industrial, scientific, medical and automotive applications. The highly integrated hardware and software enables plug-and-play capability. This significantly reduces the complexity of wireless system deployment and network connectivity.

The family's industrial grade design (including extended operating temperatures) gives Airborne the reliability and performance demanded in enterprise applications. Other convenient features include compact form factor, low power consumption and advanced security including 802.11i-PSK, AES (FIPS-197), WPA2 Enterprise, WPA (TKIP), 802.1x/RADIUS and EAP support with certificates. The industrial unit includes a variable voltage power input supply (5-36 VDC) with terminal block connections packaged in a ruggedized metal box.

The Airborne Wireless Device Server creates a connection between an 802.11b/g wireless LAN and a device with a serial port. The device server transparently conveys data between the device with RS-232 or RS-422/485 interface and a wireless LAN. This enables remote device monitoring and management via the LAN or Internet. The Airborne Industrial Wireless Device Servers are available in a single or dual RS-232/422/485 port configuration.


PortFlex
PortFlex is a unique capability included with all modules that allows Airborne wireless serial device server users to configure communication ports easily so that data can be accessed to and from any of the available ports without having to change the device configuration. Airborne PortFlex supports UART, Ethernet and 802.11 interfaces.

SpeedLink
Also included is the latest Airborne SpeedLink roaming feature. This enables mobile devices on a wireless network to roam quickly and freely without losing important data, ensuring high level connection reliability. Whether you are walking around a hospital or driving through a warehouse, SpeedLink ensures you stay connected.


Airborne Management Center

Managing your Airborne products is now simpler, whether you have one or one thousand.

The Airborne line of industrial wireless device servers and Ethernet adapters are built for networking equipment in an array of machine-to-machine (M2M) applications. Available in both single and dual-port models, each wireless device server comes standard with industry-leading RF performance, enterprise class security support and industrial-strength packaging designed to withstand the most challenging M2M environments.

Five Layer Security

5 Layer Security

Protecting enterprise networks is one of the most important challenges undertaken by today's network administrators. Airborne security keeps your data private by using the latest wirelss security protocols (WPA2-Enterprise) and SSH tunneling. It protects the network by encrypting configurations and providing an embedded firewall. Today there is no more secure solutions for enterprise class device servers.

Quatech supports the broadest range of EAP processes (including EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, PEAP and LEAP). In addition, the Airborne line supports the most flexible certificate delivery and management available in the wireless device market.

 

Maximum Protection and Performance

Quatech’s ruggedized, industrial device servers are built tough—tough enough to come with a standard 5 year warranty.

The Airborne product line is rated to meet full industrial operating temperature range of -20°C to +85°C. The industrial series also incorporates a variable power supply (5-36 VDC) with screw terminal connectors for easy installation.

Quatech’s highly-optimized 32 bit platform delivers superior transmit power and receive sensitivity, leading to greater range and the highest available throughput rates over both the serial and 10/100 Ethernet interfaces.

Airbone wireless device servers come standard with an integrated 3 dBi omni antenna. Users may also extend the range of the Airborne line by selecting a higher-gain antenna and magnetic mount options (contact Quatech for an approved list).

All Airborne Wireless Device Servers are built to meet worldwide regulatory requirements. Certifications include FCC, IOC, CE, ETSI, RoHS and WEEE.




PortFlex

Flexible for a Broad Range of Applications

PortFlex

Airborne's unique PortFlex capability enables users to configure communication ports in any combination through a simple setup wizard. Airborne PortFlex supports UART, Ethernet and 802.11 interfaces, and provides the ability to independently configure each port.

Data and control can be accessed to and from any of the available ports on the device. For example, the serial data can be accessed from the wireless or Ethernet port while the device is managed from the same port without changing the device configuration.

  SpeedLink

SpeedLink Roaming

The latest Airborne SpeedLink roaming feature further enhances the high level of connection reliability. SpeedLink enables mobile devices to roam quickly and freely throughout a wireless network without loosing important data. If you're walking around a hospital or driving through a warehouse, SpeedLink ensures you stay connected.
