Acal BFi has announced availability of an enterprise-grade Wi-Fi module for Ethernet devices, the Lantronix PremierWave 2050. Delivering reliable Wi-Fi connectivity at 2.4GHz or 5GHz, robust security and networking, the PremierWave 2050 is specifically designed for sensitive, mission-critical industrial applications.
The production ready networking solution offers extensive built-in features and a wide operating temperature range of -40C to +85C making it ideal for use in industrial and rugged environments. PremierWave 2050 enables users to easily integrate enterprise Wi-Fi connectivity for Ethernet enabled devices while reducing development and deployment risks, says the company.
“The PremierWave 2050 is particularly unique from other embedded IoT modules in that it not only allows for simultaneous AP and Client mode when connected to an Access Point; but Client connections can also be made to the SoftAP making the setup and configuration of the device a lot easier.” said Ton Middelman, technical business development manager, Acal BFi. “This direct Wi-Fi service interface will allow operational technology and/or technical support crews to service a particular device without interrupting the device or requiring full access to the network. By adding this embedded IoT module to Acal BFi’s wireless solutions portfolio, we can help our customers keep up with the pace of innovation in Wi-Fi connectivity technologies and future-proof their module footprint.”
Vishal Kakkad, director of product marketing, Lantronix, added: “For industrial and commercial OEMs involved in building connected machines, incorporating secure wireless connectivity can become an expensive and resource-draining obstacle to IoT-enablement. With the PremierWave 2050 solution, our objective is to help OEMs eliminate the complexity of wireless IoT enablement by delivering an elegant and robust solution that allows them to speed up their ‘time-to-confidence’ and reduce development and solution deployment risks. Featuring certified 5G Wi-Fi connectivity, an advanced wireless software stack, integrated enterprise-level security and an industrial-rated compact design, the PremierWave 2050 is the perfect solution for mission critical applications.”
