Bluetooth Rugged Ethernet Port Adapter RBE231
Key features
The Bluetooth Rugged Ethernet Port Adapter RBE231 is suitable for tough applications where you can replace the Ethernet cable with a robust and maintenance-free Bluetooth connection. The RBE231 is an Intelligent Antenna™ - easy to use, install and configure. The RBE231 features Low Emission Mode™ which solves potential interference between Bluetooth and Wireless LAN that is not handled by Adaptive Frequency Hopping. The RBE231 is a possible Bluetooth alternative to the Rugged Wireless LAN Ethernet Port Adapters and vice versa.
