It is ideal for mining, oil and gas, manufacturing, and process control applications. The 1552WU merges the ruggedized outdoor 802.11n access point with an integrated WirelessHART gateway to provide a seamless solution for wireless sensor networks. The WirelessHART radio has been designed specifically for mission-critical wireless connectivity to industrial sensor equipment. With a WirelessHART radio integrated into an 802.11n-based access point, a single solution addresses the growing need for wireless mobility while also providing mission-critical connectivity for industrial sensing and monitoring equipment, such as gauges for water treatment plants, sensors for chemical plants, and vibration monitoring solutions for oil rigs. This allows customers to combine business use cases, such as: ● Monitoring a chemical treatment plant while providing onsite security through wireless video surveillance Monitoring the equipment and gauges on an oil rig while an onsite worker downloads schematics, blueprints, or work instructions to a handheld Wi-Fi tablet Providing real-time information to an onsite engineer about changes to processes and equipment so that abnormalities can be dealt with immediately The Cisco Aironet 1552WU Access Point is also Class 1, Div 2/Zone 2 hazardous location-certified. This means it is designed specifically for hazardous environments like oil and gas refineries, chemical plants, mining pits, manufacturing facilities, and process control applications. The 1552WU offers a single-box solution rather than requiring two separate pieces of equipment - one for 802.11n and one for WirelessHART sensor networks. © 2016 Cisco and/or its affiliates.
