Westermo has expanded the Ibex-1310 rugged outdoor access point series, now supporting a wide-range low-voltage power input (12–48 VDC). This enhancement enables more flexible deployment across a variety of outdoor industrial Wi-Fi network applications, improving integration options for system designers and industrial connectivity projects. Engineered for harsh operational environments, the Ibex-1310 is built to endure continuous vibration, extreme temperature fluctuations, high humidity levels, and complex electromagnetic interference conditions commonly found in industrial and transportation infrastructures.

The Ibex-1310 provides robust electrical and RF protection and enables interference-free simultaneous multi-radio operation through Westermo’s ResilientRF technology. This feature ensures stable performance even in electrically noisy industrial environments. In addition, ResilientRF supports consistent high-power operation with advanced modulation schemes across the full frequency band, delivering reliable industrial Wi-Fi connectivity in harsh conditions.

In simple terms, Westermo’s ResilientRF technology delivers:

• Strong electrical and RF protection
• Seamless, interference-free radio coexistence
• Stable high-power wireless throughput performance

Traditional WLAN access points typically struggle in demanding industrial environments because they lack this level of RF resilience and cannot effectively coexist with surrounding industrial systems and equipment.

Benefits of Westermo’s ResilientRF Technology in the Ibex-1310

The Ibex-1310, equipped with Westermo’s ResilientRF feature, delivers key advantages that enhance industrial wireless network reliability, performance, and total cost efficiency in demanding environments.

High availability with reduced operational costs through electrical and RF protection

Integrated surge arrestors and multi-stage electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection ensure that the Ibex-1310 continues to operate reliably even when exposed to electrical noise, static discharge, or lightning-induced surges.

For operators, this results in fewer system failures, reduced maintenance requirements, and improved long-term availability. This is especially critical in onboard and trackside industrial Wi-Fi deployments, where consistent uptime is essential for operational safety and efficiency.

Stable and predictable Wi-Fi performance through advanced RF filtering

The Ibex-1310 uses high-quality RF filtering to ensure each radio operates without internal or external interference. These filters prevent coupling between neighboring radios within the device and block strong external RF signals from sources such as cellular networks, RF transmitters, and nearby industrial equipment.

This enables all internal radios to operate simultaneously, ensuring full coexistence with surrounding systems without performance degradation. The result is highly stable wireless performance in RF-intensive industrial environments such as tunnels, rail depots, and stations.

Such levels of stability are rarely achieved in cost-optimized access points, particularly in modular designs where effective RF filtering may be limited or removed to reduce cost.

Higher throughput and extended coverage are enabled by linear power amplifiers

The Ibex-1310 incorporates highly linear power amplifiers that maintain signal integrity even at high output power levels. When combined with low-loss, high-performance RF filtering, the access point can operate at regulatory power limits while still supporting higher-order modulation schemes across the entire frequency band.

This ensures consistent transmit power across all channels, resulting in stronger signal quality, higher data rates, improved coverage, and more reliable wireless links.

Purpose-built for harsh industrial environments

Westermo access points such as the Ibex-1310 with ResilientRF technology are engineered for real-world industrial conditions, including onboard and trackside railway systems, ports, mining operations, water and wastewater facilities, and other harsh industrial environments where reliable industrial wireless communication is critical.
