Funkwerk Enterprise Communications (FEC) introduces their new WLAN Industrial Adapter. The bintec WI Client can be operated at temperatures up to 70 Celsius. It is therefore particularly suited to interconnect e.g. machines in industrial production via WLAN. The connection of mobile installations is also possible. Fork lift trucks, for instance, can easily and quickly be integrated into a WLAN. In combination with an access point of the bintec WI series, which sets up the LAN connection, data, such as logistics information, can be transferred directly to the corresponding systems in the corporate network and can be processed there. With the bintec WI Client, Funkwerk Enterprise Communications GmbH, a company of Funkwerk AG, extend their WLAN product range for industrial applications.

The bintec WI Client supports the current standards 802.11a/b/g/h. The encryption according to WPA or WPA2 (according to standard 802.11i) ensures secure data transfer.
