    Introduction EKI-6310GN is a feature rich wireless AP/ CPE which provides a reliable wireless connectivity for industrial environments. The PoE helps to connect to PoE switch directly. As an 802.11n compliant device, EKI-6310GN provides 3 times higher data rates than legacy 802.11g devices. EKI-6310GN effectively improves the reliability of wireless connectivity, especially in applications that need high reliability and high throughput data transmission.
