The new RuggedWireless™ products include:
Combined with the currently available RS900W (Wireless Ethernet with Integrated 8 Port Switch), the RuggedWireless™
family of products provides a complete line of LAN based industrially hardened Ethernet switches with IEEE 802.11b/g and wireless data rates of up to 54 Mbps. All wireless communications are protected by the very latest "robust security networks" based on IEEE 802.11i which features strong encryption protocols, AES support, and IEEE 802.1X/Radius user authentication. These products can be used to convert serial and/or wired Ethernet to wireless Ethernet, which in turn reduces installation and cabling costs. Multiple wired Ethernet and serial port options exist to allow great flexibility in network architecture design. Click here to visit the RuggedWireless™ Homepage
The new RuggedVDSL™ products include:
Combined with the currently available RS900L (1 Ethernet over VDSL with integrated 8 Port Ethernet Switch), the RuggedVDSL™ family of products is a complete line of hardened Ethernet switches supporting Ethernet over VDSL.
Ethernet over VDSL is the perfect solution for bringing Ethernet networking to applications where telephone grade wiring
(or other copper twisted pair wiring) is already present, thus saving the considerable cost of installing a new fiber or
copper Ethernet network. Up to 50 Mbps speeds and up to 4km LAN segments are possible. Multiple options exist to accommodate varied network architecture requirements, including the ability to cascade RuggedVDSL™ products
to provide an Ethernet network that spans long distances. Click here to visit the EoVDSL Homepage
To address the many demanding and varied needs of our customer base, we have developed a very flexible platform with
the RuggedSwitch™ RS900 product line”, explains Roger Moore, VP of Engineering for RuggedCom. “With this product
line we can function with many different networking topologies and cabling infrastructures that include both new and legacy equipment, thus allowing our customers to effectively utilize their current asset base while introducing newer technologies.”
As with all RuggedCom products, these new products are RuggedRated™ to provide a high level of immunity to electromagnetic interference and heavy electrical surges typical of environments found in electric utility substations,
RuggedRated™ products meet or exceed a wide range of industry electric utility standards including IEC61850 and
IEEE1613 Class 2; features a wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C (no fans); can be powered from
a variety of sources (12VDC, 24VDC, 48VDC, 88-300VDC/35-264VAC); and have high MTBFs and reliability characteristics.
All of which allow these products to be placed in almost any location for great installation flexibility.
