28VDC powered wireless access points targets in-cabin aircraft video streaming
The enterprise class wireless access point takes advantage of the IEEE 802.11n specification, which increases maximum throughput to 300Mb/s for wireless clients. It is also backwards compatible to 802.11 a/b/g standards, and is based on Motorola’s advanced access point technology. The Kontron Cab-n-Connect product family provides secure wireless connectivity for commercial airlines, general aviation and now with the release of a 28VDC power input option, supports the DC requirements of smaller business and regional jets.
The unit also supports simultaneous dual radio operation (2.4GHz and 5GHz), is compliant to the I/O requirements of ARINC 763, and can operate in both cabin wireless LAN and terminal wireless LAN modes. The entire Kontron Cab-n-Connect product family has been rigorously tested to DO-160. Kontron also offers certified WiFi antenna kits that are compatible with both its AC and DC Cab-n-Connect access points. The integrated antenna solution is optional and eliminates cabling between the antenna and the access point in the cabin. A reduced profile version of Kontron’s antenna solution for the 28VDC Cab-n-Connect is planned for the future to meet space-constrained installation requirements of some business or regional jets.
