Product catalog summary

Introduction
The AirBox is an industrial dual WiFi access point supporting 11n and 11ac standards, operating on dual bands (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz). It can function in access point, client, or repeater modes and includes a mesh function for interconnecting access points wirelessly. An optional 4G router with GNSS positioning is available. The device offers advanced security features such as firewall, VPN, and radius, and ensures high availability with redundant Ethernet ports and power supply inputs. It is designed for easy installation in compact spaces and supports centralized administration via ACKSYS WaveManager software.

ACKSYS Communications & Systems AirBox Industrial dual WiFi access point (11n + 11ac), dual band (2.4 or 5 GHz) WiFi access point, client or repeater modes Mesh function to wirelessly interconnect access points Optional 4G router + positioning (GNSS) Advanced security (Firewall, VPN, radius ...) High availability : 2 redundant Ethernet ports, redundant wide range power supply input (+9 to +48 VDC) Compact case, wall or DIN Rail mounting Centralized administration and configurations management 2 isolated inputs + 2 isolated outputs FAST ROAMING Introduction Available in dual WiFi radio version (11n + 11ac), AirBox fits directly into the era of Industry 4.0 by offering dual band (2.4 / 5GHz) connectivity to objects (IIoT, PLCs, tablets ...) and strengthening the communication between machines (M2M). AirBox supports up to 80 clients connected simultaneously (@ 2Mbps) in AP mode and can be integrated in electrical cabinets as in tight spaces (antenna fitted externally). The single radio model (WiFi 11n) can be used in client mode to remotely connect any Ethernet equipment or PLCs as well as mobile devices (trolleys, AGVs) to the factory wireless infrastructure. AirBox advantageously leverages MIMO technology to strengthen the radio link and features a high-performance roaming algorithm (<30ms) to ensure seamless communication in motion, even in environments with very high density of AP. AirBox embedded intelligence simplifies the network design and does not require any wireless LAN controller. Administration is centralized via ACKSYS WaveManager software. Network is secured thanks to AirBox high level of security (Firewall, VPN, 802.1X ...). Two pairs of digital I/O are controllable with the SNMP protocol to operate remote equipment or read the logic state of a signal.
