Airborne Heavy Duty Wireless Device Servers by Quatech

Add Wi-Fi communications to existing telematics and asset management systems with the external Airborne Heavy Duty Wireless Device Servers. A versatile choice for remote management, the Heavy Duty serial bridge includes 802.11b/g technology that enables systems complete wireless access and control of virtually any type of equipment with a serial port. With a durable enclosure, it shields the device from external elements, including water, dust and other environmental threats. This powerful tool is an ideal solution for vehicle mounting, industrial shop floors or any other extreme environment surroundings. The Airborne Heavy Duty Wireless Device Server is a serial to 802.11 bridge capable of linking a host system with a serial connection to a wireless 802.11 network.

The device includes a physical interface to the serial host through a 12-pin connector integrated into the enclosure. The 802.11 RF interface is provided by an enclosure mounted RP-SMA socket. The device is supplied in a Deutsch EEC-325X4B enclosure and is available in both sealed and unsealed versions. (For sealed versions, please contact the Airborne Sales Team.)

The wireless device server supports a single RS-232 interface with isolated inputs and a power supply capable of meeting the SAE J1455 specification (+5 to +36 VDC). It’s interface also supports controls for host based remote management.

Ruggedized hardware is incorporated for harsh environmental conditions faced by trucks, buses, heavy equipment and automobiles.
