XPress™ Ethernet Bridge
900 MHz wireless Ethernet bridge
- Web interface simplifies configuration and troubleshooting
- Frequency agility ensures reliable connection between radios
- Spectrum analyzer for RF interference
- Outdoor line-of-sight range up to 15 miles
- AES encryption and FIPS 197 provide secure communication
- Product datasheet
The XPress Ethernet Bridge replaces costly wiring with a solution that can wirelessly connect industrial PLCs, digital signs, security cameras, access controllers and more. With a range of up to 15 miles, the ability to transmit through as many as 10 standard walls, a 1.5 Mbps data rate, and the added range and capabilities of the 900 MHz band, the easy-to-use, long-range XPress Ethernet Bridge communicates where Wi-Fi and other wireless data products fall short.

The XPress Ethernet Bridge features a built-in spectrum analyzer, allowing users to monitor RF interference. Frequency agility enables the product to automatically select the best available radio channel at start-up, monitor the signal-to-noise ratio and move the network to a new channel if necessary. A web interface simplifies installation, allows users to monitor packet success and signal strength, and facilitates remote troubleshooting.
The XPress Ethernet Bridge is housed in a weatherproof enclosure. It is available in pre-paired units or single units for point-to-multipoint applications.
