Advantech BB-APXN-Q5420

The AirborneM2M line of industrial wireless access points is built for networking equipment in an array of machine-to-machine (M2M) applications. AirborneM2MTM access points feature industrial strength packaging and support a wide temperature rating (-40° to 85°C) to withstand challenging M2M environments. Power options include 5-36VDC input or PoE (Power over Ethernet) 802.3af on select models.


Combination Access Point and Client Capability

AirborneM2M access points enable M2M equipment to create a self sufficient Wi-Fi network and provide easy access to equipment data or resources from Wi-Fi enabled devices. The product also has the capability to be switched from an access point to a client; supporting both a single or dual RS-232/422/485 serial ports or a single 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port. The Ethernet port can be placed into either router or bridge mode.


Dual-Band Wi-Fi

AirborneM2M products establish wireless connections over both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. Whenever the 2.4 GHz airspace is overcrowded with competing wireless transmission, AirborneM2M products can be switched over to 5 GHz band to keep data flowing.


Enterprise Class Security

Security protocols are important to mission critical wireless M2M applications. AirborneM2M access point’a multi-layer security addresses the requirements of Enterprise-class networks and corporate IT departments. These advanced security features include wireless security (802.11i/WAP2 enterprise), authentication security using WPA2 (AES-CCMP) and device security (multi-layered encryption). AirborneM2M access points include a fully functional DHCP server to provide unique addresses for each authenticated client. Up to 10 clients can be supported on the local Wi-Fi network


AirborneM2MTM industrial products can be integrated and deployed into a wide range of applications across various industries including:

• Vehicle Telematics & Diagnostics
• Material Handling & Logistics
• Industrial Automation Test & Measurement
• Security & Access Control
