Rockwell Automation Brings New Wireless Interfaces, New Edge to Stratix® 4300

The Stratix® 4300 Remote Access™ Router solution now has both Wi-Fi and LTE (cellular) wireless options available. These options include Ethernet only (existing product with 2 or 5 ports), Ethernet and Wi-Fi (2 or 5 ports), Ethernet and LTE (2 or 5 ports), and Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and LTE (2 or 5 ports).

The addition of these wireless interfaces for Wi-Fi and LTE (cellular) allows customers to use the Stratix 4300 in applications where a physical Ethernet connection may be difficult or not desired. Wireless options on the Stratix 4300 router help users reduce downtime, maintain business continuity, and enable a productive workforce.

Stratix 4300 will continue to be a dedicated platform for the FactoryTalk® Remote Access™ solution, which enables VPN connectivity with industrial networks, for increased visibility across your plant. All Stratix 4300 units come pre-installed with FactoryTalk Remote Access.

Supporting accessories such as antenna and mounting options are available to plants with flexible locations for their Stratix 4300.

Some of the distinct benefits to running FactoryTalk Remote Access with the Stratix 4300 include a NAT 1:1 for routers which maps an internal address (LAN) to an external address (WAN or VPN) and the ability to conduct remote updates, allowing customers to use FactoryTalk Hub™ to update the Stratix 4300.
