Wireless Ethernet Port Adapter
Product Brief RBEPA and RWEPA
The connectBlue Rugged Bluetooth Ethernet
Port Adapter (RBEPA) and Rugged Wireless LAN
Ethernet Port Adapter (RWEPA) available with a
Bluetooth or a Wireless LAN 802.11b/g inter-
face. The Wireless Ethernet Port Adapters are
especially well-suited for mobile, rotating and
temporary installations where there is a need for
replacing the Ethernet cable with a robust and
maintenance-free wireless connection. Further,
the products are called “Intelligent antennas™”
thanks to the ease of use and cost efficiency
of the installation and configuration. Another
unique feature of the RBEPA and RWEPA is the
Low Emission Mode™ which solves potential in-
terference disturbances between Bluetooth and
Wireless LAN that is not handled by the Bluetooth
implementation of Adaptive Frequency Hopping.
The Wireless Ethernet Port Adapters are part
of the connectBlue product range of Wireless
Products in industrial housings.
