Hirschmann BAT54-Rail Single WLAN access point
17 May, 2010 | Supplied by: Daanet Pty Ltd
Belden has extended its range of Hirschmann products to include the BAT54-Rail Single WLAN access point. This device is designed for mounting on DIN rail and can be used both as access point and access client.
