Acal BFi has launched an enterprise-grade Wi-Fi module for Ethernet devices, the Lantronix PremierWave® 2050. Offering reliable Wi-Fi connectivity at 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz, robust networking technology, and strong security, the Lantronix PremierWave® 2050 is specifically designed for industrial, mission-critical, or sensitive applications.
This is a production-ready networking solution with extensive integrated features and a wide operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C, making it ideal for use in harsh and industrial environments. The PremierWave® 2050 allows customers to easily integrate Wi-Fi connectivity into Ethernet-enabled devices while reducing deployment and development risks.
“The PremierWave® 2050 differs significantly from other embedded IoT modules in that it not only allows simultaneous client and AP modes when connected to an Access Point, but also enables client-to-SoftAP connections, making device configuration much simpler,” stated Ton Middelman, Technical Development Director at Acal BFi. In the words of Vishal Kakkad, Director of Product Marketing at Lantronix: “This Wi-Fi Direct Service Interface will allow operational technology and/or technical support personnel to service a particular device without disrupting the device or requiring full network access. By adding this IoT module to Acal BFi’s wireless solutions portfolio, we are helping our customers keep pace with innovation in Wi-Fi connectivity technologies.”
For industrial and commercial OEMs involved in building connected machines, incorporating secure wireless connectivity can be a costly and resource-intensive hurdle when establishing IoT. With the PremierWave 2050 solution, our goal is to eliminate the complexity of establishing a wireless IoT network by offering a robust and elegant solution that accelerates time to a trusted solution and reduces the risks associated with implementation and development. With certified 5G Wi-Fi connectivity, an advanced wireless software stack, integrated enterprise-level security, and a compact, industrial-class design, the PremierWave 2050® is the perfect solution for mission-critical applications.”
The first samples of the PremierWave® 2050 series of modules will be available from the Acal BFi website in June 2016.
