Wireless Ethernet - WLAN - WiFi
No ordinary wireless router, the Hirschmann BAT54 range features the highest levels of reliability and security to provide confidence for mission-critical networks. They are well suited to providing simple wireless bridging, or creating an industrial hotspot to facilitate mobile network access in factories, mine sites or even construction sites.
The BAT54 range is now expanded
to span from an entry level WLAN client to a dual WLAN IP67 ATEX Zone II unit. This provides an unique product offering for every application, where apart from the BAT54-Rail Client, all models provide access point, client and hotspot functions with redundant mesh, point to point and wireless distribution systems. Available
in both rail mountable and field mountable versions, and with operating
ranges of up to 20km with the appropriate antennas, the BAT have the
ability to add WLAN / WiFi / Wireless Access Points to any network, no matter the
complexity or location.
- BAT54-Single - New for 2010 - Fully featured industrial WLAN with a single radio that can simultaneously transmit on 2.4/5GHz for added signal path reliability.
- BAT54-Rail - Dual WLAN units and LAN interfaces in one unit for the market's most flexible WLAN.
- BAT54-F - IP67 version of BAT54-Rail WLAN, with single LAN interface and option for ATEX Zone II.
- BAT300 - Released March 2010 - WLAN for up to 300Mbps over the air with the advantage of the IEEE 802.11n MIMO radio wave path which is more tolerant to obstructions than earlier standards. Also available in IP67 (BAT300-F) and ATEX (BAT300-FX2) models. More information on BAT300 - Industrial WLAN to 802.11n.
- WLAN Controller - Released June 2010 to automatically configure and manage large (>50 access point) WLAN installations, such as mines, large factories, steel mills and water treatment plants.
Top of the range - BAT54-Rail - No Ordinary WLAN!
- Multiple SSIDs to provide separate access points for different user groups.
- Operational Reliability: Five fold redundant power supply and non-vibrating chassis
- Data Reliability: Noise Immune Antennas Available
- Data Redundancy: Two independent radio modules
- Dual band (2.4/5GHz) radio modules
- Scalability: Rail Mountable and Field Mountable versions with a selection of antennas allow connections ranging from 100m radial access to stable point to point connections of over 15km
- Multiple topology options - Access Point, Client, Bridge, master/slave and Router modes.
- Numerous Redundancy configurations.
- Highest levels of security from Encryption, Authentication and Firewall.
- Suits 12, 24 and 48Vdc Power Sources, including Power over Ethernet (PoE).
- Unparalleled Wireless Security - with several encryption modes (see technical specifications) and powerful monitoring software, the BAT54 range goes beyond the call of duty to ensure that there are no rogue clients on your wireless network.
Application:
The BAT family is the ideal solution whenever you need high bandwidth, stable operation and high network security in an industrial environment.
Examples include the BAT54-Rail mounted in on a DIN rail for mobile data communication on the factory floor or in the warehouse, a combination of -Rail and -F models for data communications between a cable car and station, continuous low-cost data acquisition in wind farms to monitor turbine status, production support logistics systems and just-in-time component delivery. Create an industrial hotspot to facilitate roaming for plant engineers to test field equipment.
Anywhere where devices are constantly on the move, or conditions make
cables an expensive choice, the BAT54 WLAN routers prove invaluable to
the operation of the network. 
All Hirschmann products are developed with the most demanding industrial needs in mind, naturally the BAT54 family of wireless routers are no exception. Need an antenna? See our range of Industrial (IP65) Wi-Fi Antennas here.
