AWK-3131A-US - 802.11abgn access point, US band, -25 to 60C operating temperature

Introduction
The AWK-3131A 3-in-1 industrial wireless AP/bridge/client fulfils the growing need for faster data transmission speeds by supporting IEEE 802.11n technology with a net data rate of up to 300 Mbps. The AWK-3131A complies with industry standards and approvals for operating temperature, input voltage, overvoltage, ESD and vibration. The two redundant DC power inputs increase the reliability of the power supply and the AWK-3131A can be powered via PoE to facilitate deployment. The AWK-3131A can operate in both the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands and is backward compatible with existing 802.11a/b/g deployments to future-proof your wireless investments. The wireless add-on for the MXview network management program visualises the AWK's invisible wireless connections to ensure wall-to-wall Wi-Fi connectivity.
