Acksys ruggedised wireless equipment for industrial and transport applications

Thursday, 13 December, 2012 | Supplied by: Madison Technologies


Acksys offers a wide range of ruggedised wireless equipment for industrial and transportation applications using the Wi-Fi IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n standard in 2.4 and 5 GHz bands. The range of products addresses the specific issues associated with operating wireless equipment in vehicles.

The devices have a tough die-cast aluminium construction, are temperature hardened for -40 to +70°C operation and environmentally sealed to IP66. Lightning/surge protection is built in, and they operate from a very wide power supply voltage - typically +9 to +70 VDC.

A unique feature of the system is the removable ‘C-Key’ which stores all configuration data and allows instant equipment swap-out and data-restore functionality.

The system includes point-to-point, point-to-multipoint and wireless mesh technologies and is suitable for long-range line-of-sight and non-line-of-sight operation.  Applications include access points, bridges, bridge routers, repeaters, and serial-to-wireless gateways.

The company provides integration into industrial and vehicle systems with the capability to interface to truck telemetry and fleet management systems; stream data from rolling stock to station; wirelessly connect RS232, RS422, RS485 serial equipment together; build a wireless bridge between a serial Modbus network and Modbus/TCP; and wirelessly connect ethernet, Modbus/TCP, Profinet, Ethernet/IP and DNP3 equipment.
