ACKSYS AirXroad – rugged industrial WiFi for vehicles and moving machines

ACKSYS AirXroad is a compact industrial WiFi Access Point, client, repeater, Mesh node and router designed for applications where ordinary office WiFi is not sufficient. It is especially suitable for vehicles, mobile equipment, material-handling machines, logistics and demanding outdoor industrial environments.

Its rugged IP66 design, industrial M12 connectors, operating temperature range from −40 to +70 °C and Fast Roaming below 30 ms make AirXroad suitable for equipment moving between multiple WiFi Access Points during operation.

Fast Roaming for moving equipment

In WiFi client mode, AirXroad supports fast roaming between Access Points with handover below 30 ms. It is therefore suitable for AGVs, forklifts, cranes and other mobile equipment.

IP66 for demanding environments

The rugged aluminium housing protects the device against dust and powerful water jets and is designed for environments exposed to vibration and mechanical shock.

WiFi up to 300 Mbit/s

WiFi 802.11a/b/g/n with MIMO 2T2R provides a radio rate of up to 300 Mbit/s. The single radio can be configured for either the 2.4 or 5 GHz band.

Gigabit Ethernet M12

Network connectivity is provided by 10/100/1000 Mbit/s Gigabit Ethernet with a rugged 8-pin M12 X-coded connector suitable for industrial and mobile applications.

What applications is AirXroad designed for?

AirXroad is especially useful where industrial communication is combined with movement, vibration, outdoor installation or large temperature variations.

AGVs and mobile robots

forklifts

trucks and utility vehicles

city buses

cranes and gantry cranes

rotating and moving machines

warehouses and logistics centres

agricultural machinery

ports, docks and outdoor facilities

Fast Roaming < 30 ms

For AGVs, forklifts, cranes and other moving equipment.

As a mobile machine moves through a production or logistics area, it can pass through the coverage zones of several WiFi Access Points. In client mode, AirXroad supports multichannel Fast Roaming, reducing handover time between individual Access Points.

The manufacturer specifies a roaming handover time of less than 30 ms. This is particularly important in applications where network connectivity must remain available while the machine is moving.

WiFi 802.11n MIMO 2T2R – 2.4 or 5 GHz

AirXroad contains one IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n WiFi radio with MIMO 2T2R. Multiple data streams help improve throughput, range and reliability of the wireless link.

The radio can be configured for 2.4 or 5 GHz. Maximum 802.11n radio rate reaches 300 Mbit/s. DFS and TPC are also supported for operation in the 5 GHz band.

Industrial M12 connectors for Ethernet and power

Ethernet

Gigabit Ethernet M12 X-coded

AirXroad provides one 10/100/1000 Base-T port with an 8-pin M12 X-coded connector, Auto MDI/MDIX and automatic speed detection.

Power supply

9–48 VDC or PoE

The device can be powered via a 4-pin M12 A-coded connector from 9–48 VDC or using PoE IEEE 802.3af.

Rugged design for vehicles and outdoor industry

AirXroad is designed for significantly harsher conditions than ordinary WiFi equipment. Its metal housing, sealed industrial connectors and wide temperature range allow installation directly on machines or vehicles.

ECE R10 for installation in road vehicles

AirXroad has E-mark ECE R10 approval, an EMC certification for electronic equipment installed in vehicles.

It is therefore suitable for installation in trucks, buses, forklifts, tractors and other mobile equipment.

Industrial WiFi security

AirXroad provides security functions for wireless communication, network services and remote device management. The current WaveOS platform also addresses EN 18031 cybersecurity requirements.

WaveOS & WaveManager

AirXroad uses the ACKSYS WaveOS operating system. Configuration and diagnostics can be performed using a web interface, HTTPS or SNMP.

For larger WiFi installations, ACKSYS WaveManager can be used for centralized configuration, monitoring and management of ACKSYS devices.

Need to connect two remote Ethernet points? Two AirXroad units can also be used to create an outdoor Point-to-Point WiFi Bridge. A standalone AirXroad, however, is a universal device that can also operate as an Access Point, WiFi client, Mesh node, repeater or router.

Package contents: AirXroad is supplied without WiFi antennas, Ethernet cable and power cable. Suitable antennas and cables can be selected according to the specific application, installation method and required coverage.
