Integration of access points and clients
Belden has announced the release of HiLCOS 8.50, a new version of its established WLAN firmware from the Hirschmann product range.
Like its predecessors, this firmware is fully compliant with the European 5 GHz standard (EN 301893 V1.5.1). New to this firmware version, however, is that it permits access points and clients to be integrated into Profinet and Ethernet/IP networks without requiring additional management software, thus allowing flexible administration.
In the future, HiLCOS 8.50 firmware will be offered as a standard for all devices in the Hirschmann BAT54 and BAT300 series. In addition, the firmware will also be available as a free-of-charge download from www.e-catalog.beldensolutions.com enabling customers to update older access points and clients.
