Phoenix Contact Radio Line
Phoenix Contact Radio Line wireless solutions are designed to support reliable industrial communication across long distances and challenging environments. Available as licensed, unlicensed, cellular, and I/O radios, these devices support both 12 VDC and 24 VDC power sources and can be configured for point-to-point or point-to-multipoint network topologies. They are well-suited for applications requiring dependable data transmission without physical cabling.
Licensed industrial radios typically operate in the 150–470 MHz frequency range, offering advantages such as reduced interference, improved signal penetration, lower line-of-sight sensitivity, and extended transmission distances. Unlicensed radios operate in the 900 MHz, 2.4 GHz, and 5.8 GHz bands, providing higher bandwidths that support faster data rates and compatibility with third-party Wi-Fi devices. These options allow users to balance range, throughput, and regulatory considerations based on application requirements.
Phoenix Contact wireless solutions include Ethernet, serial, and I/O radios with operating ranges up to 10 miles (16 km) for select 2.4 GHz Ethernet models and up to 5 miles (8 km) for I/O radios delivering data rates up to 500 Kbps. The Radioline wireless system is particularly suited for large-scale installations, transmitting I/O signals and serial data securely over several kilometers using frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) and AES encryption to ensure reliable and secure communication.
