The Cardinal

The Cardinal is engineered for automation robots of all types, including collaborative robots, automated storage/retrieval systems, autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), unmanned guided vehicles (UGVs), and more. It significantly enhances your on-the-move connectivity even in the toughest environments. This device extends traditional Wi-Fi’s reach beyond the limits of fixed infrastructure, operating without line-of-sight constraints, thanks to its two transceivers offering a combined data rate of 1.73 Gbps. Beyond robotics and warehouse automation infrastructure, this versatile wireless node also excels in diverse applications like agricultural irrigation, energy reclosers, oil and gas PLC controls, military and light show drones/UAVs, and manufacturing process automation.
