Antaira has announced the expansion of its wireless product line with the introduction of two new IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac LAN access points offering router capabilities. Ideal for challenging industrial network infrastructures, the wireless devices allow a user to position their 2.4GHz/5GHz antennas for optimal coverage and signal strength.

The new ARS-7235-PSE-AC is an industrial-hardened dual-radio IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac wireless LAN access point with added router capabilities boosting network robustness, stability, and a wide network coverage with a very low voltage input of 9V. It supports high-speed data transmission of up to 867Mbps, and is PoE PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment) compliant to supply up to 30W from one of its two Ethernet ports, allowing users to expand network connectivity to remote locations where a power source is not available.

It also comes embedded with the Qualcomm IPQ4029 SoC chipset that has dual Wi-Fi spectral bands of 2.4GHz and 5GHz to reliability handle increased network traffic.

Identical to the ARS-7235-PSE-AC, the ARS-7235-PD-AC version has PoE PD (Powered Device) on one its two ports rather than PoE PSE, giving users the ability to power it through the PD-capable Ethernet port.

Standard versions of both devices are protected in an IP30-rated metal housing, and provide an operating temperature range of -10°C to 60°C, while extended temperature range models can be used in environments of -35°C to 70°C. Both are capable of operating in different modes, making them suitable for a variety of wireless applications including long-distance deployments.
