Properties and functions

The devices allow you to set up WLANs (Wireless Local Area Networks) in a
local network. In contrast to a conventional network connection via copper
cables and glass fibers, some of the communication is performed by means
of a radio link.
The devices allow you to install a new LAN or expand an existing LAN.
Thanks to their high level of flexibility, you can combine large, small, mobile
and non-mobile locations. Anywhere that high bandwidths, stable operation
and network security is required, wireless LAN with these devices provides
the ideal solution.
The BAT54-F is an access point/client with a WLAN interface for dualband
operation in accordance with IEEE 802.11b/g and IEEE 802.11a/h, and it is
specially designed for outdoor use with protection class IP67. The BAT54-F
can be installed quickly and easily using wizards via the Windows
configuration software or the Web interface. The wide range of BAT
antennas provide the correct solution for every requirement - even out-of-the-
box solutions.
The devices are designed for the special requirements of industrial
automation. They are suitable for outdoor use and in environments with the
danger of explosions. They meet the relevant industry standards, provide
very high operational reliability, even under extreme conditions, and also
long-term reliability and flexibility. The devices operate without fans and have
a redundant voltage supply. You can mount the devices on a pole or on a flat
surface (e.g. wall).
