Westermo IBEX RT-320 - Industrial WiFi Access Point

802.11n Dual-Band, 3x3 MIMO, 2 x GbE, DC/PoE, IP66

The Westermo IBEX RT-320 is a high-performance WiFi access point designed for demanding industrial applications requiring extended wireless coverage and reliable high-speed connectivity. With 3x3 MIMO capability on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, the device delivers superior range and throughput compared to standard 2x2 configurations. Supporting access point, client, and bridge modes, the RT-320 is suitable for both infrastructure deployments and mobile applications requiring robust wireless connectivity.

Engineered to meet EN 50155 requirements for railway applications, the RT-320's proven durability and comprehensive environmental testing make it ideal for harsh industrial environments including mining, maritime, and critical infrastructure deployments. The high-end RF circuitry is calibrated for maximum output power and excellent receiver sensitivity, maintaining stable connections even at extended distances. With IP66 protection, GORE-TEX membrane, and an MTBF exceeding 370,000 hours, the RT-320 delivers reliable operation and low lifecycle costs in mission-critical installations.
