Introduction
Moxa’s new generation wireless redundancy technology allows you to set up independent wireless connections to avoid interruptions in transmission, even if interference occurs on one of the supported frequencies. The AWK-5222 is equipped with the newest proprietary wireless redundancy technology, which has two independent RF modules, and supports a greater variety of wireless configurations and applications. The redundant wireless connections increase the reliability of the entire wireless network. For reliability beyond wireless redundancy, Moxa’s AWK-5222 has two Ethernet ports, and supports RSTP (Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol). The AWK-5222 is rugged enough to help you establish the most robust wireless connection for critical industrial wireless applications.
