The RuggedWireless™ RS920W is an industrially hardened
Wireless Serial Device Server that has been specifically designed
to operate reliably in electrically harsh and climatically demanding
environments. The RS920W features a wireless LAN (WLAN)
interface combined with 2 serial ports and one Ethernet over
VDSL (EoVDSL) interface. The RS920W allows you to connect
RS-232/422/485 serial devices at up to 230 kbps and for wireless
access and control via an IEEE 802.11i wireless LAN. The
RS920W can also act as a wireless access point and in
combination with the EoVDSL interface, can aggregate many
devices at a remote location back to the central control room
using existing telephone grade cable (or other legacy serial
cabling) at distances of up to 4km.

The RS920W functions as a wireless "client/bridge" within an
IEEE 802.11b/g compliant WLAN. This allows the RS920W to
transfer data for connected serial port and Ethernet devices via
an installed Wireless Access Point. The RS920W is capable of
wireless data rates of up to 54Mbps whose bandwidth is available
for the combined device traffic volume emanating from two serial
ports and two Ethernet ports. Static authentication support is
provided by WPA-PSK. For authentication by an access point
and a RADIUS server, the RS920W supports IEEE 802.1X/
RADIUS for wireless user traffic and distributing dynamic
encryption keys. All wireless communications are protected by
"hardware accelerated encryption" to ensure high performance
when using strong encryption and authentication protocols such
as WPA/TKIP and WPA2/802.11i. The web management
interface is protected using SSL.

The RS920W has an operating temperature range of -40 to +85°C
without the use of internal cooling fans allowing it to be placed in
almost any location. The RS920W also has an integrated power
supply with a wide range of voltages for worldwide operability, and
is compliant with EMI and environmental standards for utility
substations, industrial manufacturing, process control and
intelligent transportation systems applications.

The RS920W is backed by a five year warranty and
unsurpassed technical support.
