The IWF 503 series helps build a fast and capacious outdoor Wi-Fi backhaul with data rate up to 1.3Gbps. Increased bandwidth opens up new applications such as video surveillance. With the assistance of IWF 503 series, factory managers can instantly monitor equipment, assets, stocks, production line, and rural sites beyond the factory roof, thus improving manufacturing security and safety.
Considering the difficulty to install wired networks among outdoor areas of industrial facilities, the IWF 503 series features P2P and P2MP connections, which provide a scalable industrial Wi-Fi infrastructure to support multiple concurrent network-based applications, such as remote monitoring among checkweighers and surveillance cameras with no need for cables running along the factory floor. In addition, equipped with 24V PoE supply, the IWF 503 series not just avoids the need to deploy a dedicated wired network but also additional infrastructure cost.
Designed to effectively achieve reliable industrial Wi-Fi coverage in dispersed sites from different weather conditions including wind, rain, and snow, the IWF 503 series features up to 27dBm transmit power at 5GHz and IP55 protection. The IWF 503 features built-in 10dBi directional antennas while the IWF 503D supports user's choice of external antennas. Stronger signal delivers reliable quality and longer transmitting distance. Wide temperate durability from -35 to 75 degree Celsius ensures factory managers and workers alike to access critical information all year long.
