The RFD90 sleds have advanced Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, supporting a range of IEEE protocols including 802.11ax/ac/a/b/g/n, and IPv4 compatibility. This ensures efficient wireless performance that is suitable for high-demand environments.
Data Rates
5 GHz Band - Achieves PHY data rates up to 1.2 Gbps, providing high-speed connectivity for demanding applications.
2.4 GHz Band - Supports PHY data rates up to 458 Mbps, ensuring reliable performance in various operational settings.
Security Protocols
Users are responsible for configuring Wi-Fi security modes on RFD90 sleds for their own individual security requirements. To ensure compliance with the cybersecurity requirements of the EU Radio Equipment Directive (RED) Article 3.3 (d), use secure settings such as
WPA3 Standard
,
WPA3_Personal_SAE
, or
WPA3_Enterprise_GCMP_256_SUITEB_192
to protect against security threats. Improper configuration may lead to vulnerabilities, and the manufacturer is not liable for any resulting damages or breaches.
Recommended Security Mode: General recommendation for wireless security is to use the WPA3 Standard.
For
Personal Networks
, the preferred security mode is
WPA3_Personal_SAE
.
For
Enterprise-Grade Networks
, the preferred security mode is
WPA3_Enterprise_GCMP_256_SUITEB_192
, which offers the highest level of security.
RFD90 sleds support WPA2/WPA3 Personal and WPA2/WPA3 Enterprise security modes.
The following table outlines the supported protocols.
