Compact and Robust 802.11n Wireless Access
Point for Industrial Automation
Munich, November 13, 2014 – At SPS 2014 Moxa, a leading manufacturer of industrial networking and
computing solutions, released the new AWK-1131A, an 802.11n wireless access point/ client that features a
smaller housing with advanced protection technology, making continuous wireless connections a reality for
your industrial applications. The new AWK-1131A is designed with galvanic isolation technology to protect
devices from the electrical disturbances commonly found in industrial environments. It supports 802.11n
MIMO technology to reduce multipath effects and increase data rates up to 300 Mbps for bandwidth-hungry
applications. In addition, it features millisecond-level roaming to minimize packet loss for seamless
connections with mobile applications.
“There are many benefits to adopting wireless devices for industrial applications. Not only do wireless
devices reduce deployment costs compared to wired devices, they also increase mobility for hard-to-wire
applications and enhance scalability when expanding your network backbone. However, operators must
consider wireless reliability and availability when choosing wireless devices for mission-critical applications,”
said Paul Hsu, Business Development Manager Industrial Wireless at Moxa Europe.“ Industrial wireless
devices require a rugged design that includes advanced EMS protection against the electrical disturbances
found in harsh industrial environments, and seamless WLAN roaming to increase network availability for
rolling stock industrial applications. The new AWK-1131A series meets all of these demands.”
The new AWK-1131A series features 802.11n technology, which is ideal for video surveillance applications
that require up to a 300 Mbps data rate and Gigabit wired transmissions. With the release of the AWK-1131A,
Moxa now offers a comprehensive portfolio with both single-radio and dual-radio IEEE 802.11n industrial
wireless solutions for the bandwidth-hungry systems found in industrial applications.
