The 455U-D is a high performance radio modem for use on both high-power licensed radio channels and low power licence-free channels.
The 240U-E now provides 802.11 wireless distribution system functionality, allowing a self-organising and self-healing 802.11 wireless mesh to form throughout a process plant or factory.
This new feature significantly enhances the usage of industrial 802.11 technology by: greatly increasing the distance of coverage of an 802.11 network; and providing self-healing redundancy during failure events.
Elpro's 240U-E product provides multiple Ethernet and serial connectivity simultaneously as a multiport device server, controlling communications to multiple devices.
In the one unit the 240U-E provides: access point, bridge and router device server and mesh repeater.
The 240U-E is designed for industrial use with military-grade security encryption, high RF power and superior receiver sensitivity and industrial temperature specifications.
As with all Elpro products, the 240U-E carries a lifetime warranty.
