At the Hanover Fair, Belden introduces new Hirschmann™ BAT controllers for centralized management and monitoring of large-scale WLAN networks

At the Hanover Fair (Hall 7, Booth A46/3) Belden will introduce the three new BAT controllers WLC25, WLC50 and WLC100 from its Hirschmann™ product range to ensure fast data communications and optimum network availability. These controllers are designed for use in switch cabinets and can be used to centrally configure and manage 25, 50 or 100 WLAN access points respectively. As these controllers are fully compatible to all Hirschmann™ access points in the BAT series, your existing BAT equipment does not need to be replaced.

With the new Hirschmann™ BAT300 FX2, Belden is marketing the world’s first ATEX-certificated WLAN Access Point with support for the new IEEE 802.11n transmission standard. This enables WLAN networks with data rates up to 300 Mbit/s to be installed even in hazardous areas rated Ex zone 2.

Other features of these Access Points include extensive management, security and quality of service functions plus layer 3 IP routing.

Belden introduces Hirschmann™ BAT54- rail single: cost-effective WLAN Access Point and Access Client for uninterrupted connections

Belden has extended its range of Hirschmann™ products to include the new WLAN Access Point BAT54-Rail Single. This device is designed for mounting on a top-hat rail and can be used both as Access Point and Access Client. Unlike the BAT54-Rail, this new Access Point has only one WLAN interface, making it a cost-effective alternative for applications that do not require a second interface. In common with its ‘elder brother’, however, the BAT54-Rail Single offers the full range of functions supported by the powerful HiLCOS operating system.
