ABDG-BR-DP501 Ethernet Bridge and ABDG-ET-DP501 Ethernet Adapter
AirborneTMis a line of highly integrated
802.11 radios and device servers,
designed to address the demands of
complex machine-to-machine (M2M)
applications. Utilizing the latest 802.11
microprocessor and network
technologies, the Airborne family of
products provide a broad encompassing
solution for wireless applications
requiring performance, reliability and
advanced
security.
The Airborne Ethernet bridge family
allows an Ethernet enabled device to
connect to a high performance wireless
802.11 network. The integrated Network
Address Translation (NAT) functionality
provides plug and play connectivity and
simple integration to any system with an
Ethernet port. The Ethernet interface
supports auto rate detection up to
100Mb/s. The ABDG-ET-DP501 includes
a full featured 802.11b/g radio and a high
performance ARM9 MCU running
embedded Linux.
Enterprise Class Security
WPA2-Enterprise is the leading wireless
security standard for enterprise networks
and is fully supported by the Airborne
Enterprise products.
The integrated supplicant supports a
wide range of EAP processes including:
EAP-TLS/MSCHAPv2
EAP-TLS/MD5
EAP-TTLS/MSCHAPv2
PEAPv0/MSCHAPv2
LEAP
Airborne supports the most flexible
certificate delivery and management
available in the wireless device market,
along with WEP, WPA, WPA2, 802.11i
and Pre-shared Key (PSK), no other
wireless solution provides a more
comprehensive security solution.
Reliability
Designed by Quatech specifically to
meet the demands of the industrial,
automotive and medical markets, the
Airborne Ethernet Bridge has the widest
operating temperature range and highest
level of reliability available, all backed by
a five year limited warranty. Quatech also
provides FCC Modular certification,
minimizing requirements for further
regulatory testing by original equipment
manufacturers.
Applications
Previous generations of Airborne
Wireless Ethernet Bridge have been
integrated and deployed into a wide
range of applications across various
industries including:
Medical equipment
Vehicle telematics & diagnostics
Material handling & logistics
Industrial Automation
Test & measurement
Security & access control
