The iWAP106 ATEX Zone 1 Access Point Enclosure is specially designed to deploy wireless networks in hazardous areas. The concept allows installation of equipment from leading WLAN vendors such as Cisco, Aeroscout, Aruba and Motorola.

Each type of Access Point or RF transmitting device is rigorously checked and tested by Extronics and/or a Notified Body to ensure  conformity to the ATEX requirements. This means that the user may select the vendor of their choice when extending a  WLAN to hazardous areas. However equipment not already on the list overleaf will require assessment to determine its suitability.

The Extronics iWAP106 requires the use of high quality Ex e increased safety antennas (not included) such as the Extronics iANT100 series. Up to six antennas can be utilized, allowing the MIMO functionality of the latest 802.11n compatible wireless access points to be implemented, providing optimum coverage and maximum data throughput on Chemical Plants, Oil Refineries or Oil & Gas Platforms. Optional features include surge arrestors for lightning suppression in outdoor installations and single mode or multimode fibre optic inputs to allow for extended Ethernet link distance.

The Extronics iWAP106 can for example be used to provide WiFi access (WLAN) on an chemical plant, where you cannot simply install a regular Wireless Access Point. When your workfloor is WiFI enabled you create a lot of extra possibilities in the workfloor, for example  localization services, CCTV, measurements, connect computers, phones and tablets wirelessly to your network.
