Industrial Frequency Hopping 900 MHz Ethernet

RLX2-IFH9E

The RLX2-IFH9E is user configurable as a master, repeater, and remote radio. It provides virtual peer-to-peer packet switching and network optimization using advanced Smart Switch technology. Combined with an industry leading high-speed transmitter, the RLX2-IFH9E is ideal for applications requiring fast and reliable communications at long distances. 

The RLX2-IFH9E is quickly configured using the included, graphical ControlScape software. An OPC server software is also included and allows users to monitor radio network health with any OPC client based HMI software. 

The RLX2-IFH9E employs proprietary frequency hopping algorithms and 128 bit AES encryption algorithm approved by most governments for critical networks.
