1.1 Specifications
1.1.1 RLX2-IFH24E
The RLX2-IFH24E Industrial Frequency Hopping 2.4 GHz series of radios
provide powerful and secure wireless Ethernet and Serial communications.
These radios are well suited for demanding, long-range (up to 15+ miles) SCADA
and other Ethernet applications including those in harsh or hazardous
environments.
Operating in the internationally license-free 2.4 GHz band, the RLX2-IFH24E
provides an alternative when other wireless technologies cannot be used due to
government regulations, band saturation, or customer preference. The RLX2-
IFH24E is backwards compatible with ProSoft Technology's RLX-IFH24E.
You can configure the RLX2-IFH24E as a master, repeater, or 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-IFH24E is ideal for applications that require fast and
reliable communications at long distances.
The RLX2-IFH24E is quickly configured using the included graphical
ControlScape software. An OPC server software is also included and allows you
to monitor radio network health with any OPC client-based HMI software.
