WAGO's new 758-918 Wireless ETHERNET Gateway is ideal for wireless data transmission in machinery and equipment applications. This robust device, which has an internal directional antenna and provides an IP65 degree of protection, can be installed directly in the field, for example on a machine. The version with an optional external antenna is ideal for use in a control cabinet or in locations with poor reception.

Do you need to connect equipment that communicates with serial (RS-232/422/485), Modbus, or I/O interfaces to an Ethernet network? At Moxa, we make edge connectivity effortless with easy-to-use products that enable you to connect legacy devices or older equipment to modern platforms within minutes.

A Proven Record of Network Reliability Moxa's wide selection of industrial unmanaged switches provide rock-solid reliability and can withstand extreme conditions, earning the confidence and satisfaction of customers through thousands of long-term deployments around the world. Our broad portfolio of unmanaged switches delivers performance, compact size, rich options, intelligent features, and forget-your-install reliability to make connecting end devices easier than ever.

As industries keep evolving to become more resilient, it is causing network infrastructure to become more complex. Even with these changes, it is essential that network devices retain their reliability, including industrial unmanaged switches.

The Most Comprehensive PoE solutions for Mission-Critical Applications As a leading provider of edge connectivity, industrial computing, and network infrastructure solutions, Moxa offers the most comprehensive portfolio of industrial PoE switches that ensure reliable power sourcing and delivery to your critical network deployments.

For businesses seeking to maximize the benefits of serial data at field sites and improve operational efficiency, ensuring the availability of products, services, and software for the future demands of OT/IT convergence, partnering with a trusted provider is crucial.

Are you experiencing challenges connecting devices to your industrial systems or transferring data while simultaneously providing large amounts of power to powered devices (PD), such as IP cameras or wireless access points? Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a power supply mechanism that leverages cables to transmit power via power sourcing equipment (PSE).

Industrial network security is not a luxury option anymore—it is a necessity. A spate of recent cyberattacks targeting critical infrastructure has underlined the need for industrial organizations to prioritize cybersecurity. No matter which industry you are in, potential threats are everywhere. Recent incidents include hackers shutting down a fuel pipeline in the USA1 and demanding millions of dollars in ransom payments, and a ransomware attack taking the self-service ticketing machines of a UK railway company 2 offline. 

For decades, serial communication has been delivering reliable connectivity in many factory applications. Although Ethernet communication is more popular these days, a large variety of legacy equipment still relies on serial communication. As factory managers increasingly realize that OT/IT convergence optimizes operational efficiency, it is field engineers and system integrators, however, who are first in line facing the challenges of integrating older and newer systems.
