SPIDER III Premium Line Switches

SPIDER III Premium Line switches not only offer the cost benefits that

come with an unmanaged switch, but they also have the flexibility and

ruggedness to support any industrial environment.

With up to nine available ports, you can select the port types that meet

Designed to enable maximum stability for reliable and

secure wireless connections in industrial applications

HiLCOS is the operating system for Hirschmann’s OpenBAT,

BAT867-R and BAT450-F industrial WLAN devices.

It is the driving force behind many of today’s critical wireless

installations: Whether it is a Metro in a city that needs connectivity

to the control room or a robot in a factory that needs to read out

safety sensors over WiFi.

The software offers features well beyond basic WLAN functions

and the latest updates are based on more than 20 years of continuous

development and improvement by Belden and Hirschmann experts.

The improved WIDS (Wireless Intrusion Detection System) hardens the

network against malicious attacks and provides the flexibility of configuring

and monitoring the WIDS functionality from the Wireless LAN Controller.

WiFi is a critical part of each network and our HiLCOS operating system can

be configured to fit even the most demanding application. We know that

making WiFi successful requires a complete understanding of all the data

that needs to be delivered and how WiFi can be shaped to fit its requirements.

The option of monitoring wireless links reduces troubleshooting time and

optimizes network performance and quality. An enterprise-grade SiteSurvey

is not enough for demanding industrial applications. Sometimes, for example,

it is necessary to check the signal strength in total and each antenna

individually. The insights we gain from our most demanding projects are

implemented and made available to all customers.

The WiFi world is demanding and we have the features to meet it: Multi-user

Layer 2 (PLC communication), redundant transmission over two channels (PRP),

inter-vendor roaming optimizations and mesh networking.

HiSecOS – Hirschmann Security Operating System

HiSecOS is the latest operating system for Industrial Security Routers,

combining performance with robust security. It provides the user with

comprehensive security mechanisms to protect networks against

attacks and operating errors.

Designed to fulfill the requirements of the IEEE1686 standard, functions

such as audit trail and user management with password policies are

implemented right from the beginning.
