Digi XPress Wireless Ethernet Bridge

The XPress Wireless 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 Wireless Ethernet Bridge communicates where Wi-Fi and other wireless data products fall short.
