Wireless Solutions
Extronics IWAP Series Systems for the deployment of virtually any wireless device in either Zone 1/21 or Zone 2/22 Hazardous Areas.
Supporting WIFI connectivity, IIOT Deployment and Smart Instrument networks.
Overview
Wireless Connectivity is now a basic requirement in most manufacturing facilities to support a variety of mobile computing applications, communication systems, smart worker connected devices, IOT networks and Smart Instrument installations. Hazardous Area Production plants have benefitted in recent years with the arrival of countless mobile tablets, smart phones, hand held computing devices, headsets and IOT systems certified for service in Hazardous Areas.
Connectivity can be a challenge due to the fact that often network designers need to adhere to corporate standards and only deploy approved hardware where often this hardware is not certified for use in Hazardous Area Zones. This issue is resolved with the Extronics iWAP range which can be described as a vehicle to permit the deployment of wireless access points in hazardous areas, Zones 1 & 21 using the iWAP 107 series and Zones 2 & 22 using the iWAP XN3 series.
Client is free to select Wireless Gateway of their choice and either free issue to Hanley Technology or instruct us to procure as part of our offering, either way the IWAP107 or XN3 solution is supplied to user fully integrated, certified and ready for deployment on site.
Sustainable designs permit migration of APs in the event of AP obsolescence.
Hanley Technology in in conjunction with our technology partner Extronics have deployed hundreds of these solutions in both Zone 1 / 21 and Zone 2/22 Hazardous areas, deploying Cisco, HP Aruba and other wireless gateways.
