Quatech, Inc specializing in wireless machine-to-machine (M2M) networking and device connectivity solutions announced that it has started shipping its advanced Enterprise Class 802.11b/g Wireless Ethernet Bridge adapters.
The Airborne Wireless Ethernet Bridge enables connection between high performance wireless 802.11 networks and Ethernet enabled devices. The units are available in external or embedded board versions and they provide an integrated Network Address Translation (NAT) functionality. This enables plug and play connectivity and simple integration to all systems with an Ethernet port.
The Quatech Ethernet Bridge is equipped with WPA-2 Enterprise Class security and it supports flexible certificate delivery and management in the M2M market. The management stores multiple certificates and private keys with support for PEM, DER, P12 and PFX formats. This makes end-user implementation of Enterprise-class embedded security easy.
“Quatech is pleased to deliver the most advanced enterprise security and certificate delivery support in its latest Airborne Ethernet Bridge products,” said Steve Runkel, Quatech President and CEO. “We look forward to meeting the increasing need for external and embedded Enterprise-Class wireless products.”
Quatech explained that the Airborne-Class Ethernet Bridge is most suitable for deployment in healthcare, point-of-sale (POS) and industrial control and automation applications. The built-in Web server and the company’s advanced utilities for discovery, configuration and management of the Ethernet Bridge are very useful for corporate IT departments.
“Quatech’s new Enterprise-Class Wireless Ethernet Bridge effortlessly integrated into our INSPIRATION line of high-performance Ventilators,” said Brent Chamblee, eVent Medical’s Product Manager. “Its advanced security capabilities enable hospitals to leverage eVent Medical’s Mini Web-Server technology over existing wireless LANs.”
The company specializes in device networking and connectivity solutions which enable reliable M2M communications through secure 802.11 wireless or traditional wired networks. Quatech products include industrial-grade embedded radios, modules, boards and external device servers, and bridges.
