The new OpenBAT family comprises of the BAT-R (IP30) and BAT-F (IP65/67) series of WLAN access points, which are fully compatible with the previous BAT54 and BAT300 models from Hirschmann™. Both OpenBAT series have entirely new hardware and operate with HiLCOS. HiLCOS is the most powerful operating system in the automation industry, while providing support for IPv4/6 routing.
All OpenBAT devices comply with the IEEE 802.11n WLAN standard – enabling data rates of up to 450 Mbit/s in both the 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz bands by using MIMO antenna technology. This means that the access points – also employable as clients, routers or bridges – can be used to quickly set up meshed networks, wireless distribution systems and point-to-point connections. Also possible are WAN and VPN applications.
Applications
Looking to offer more than 20 industry and country specific certifications, the new family of OpenBAT access points is an ideal solution for WLAN applications. Featuring high-availability data communication and outstanding cost effectiveness, the OpenBAT access points are ideally suited for rail transport applications. For example, employments for on-board communication as well as along the tracks and in stations; or in harbors, where they guarantee stable connections in environments with other high-power transmitters using different radio technologies. The same also applies to the electrical power industry, whether in power transmission and distribution or in electricity generation from renewable energy sources. Additional areas of employment include oil and gas applications, mechanical engineering, and in the radio broadcasting sector.
