Outdoor wireless LAN for construction DX is required to be required high trust & high cospa Wi-Fi on the work site | Business network.jp

The construction industry where DX is advancing──. Digital utilization is progressing, such as workers using collaboration tools such as Microsoft Teams and messaging apps at the site, and transmitting images and videos of the situation at the site. Along with this, there is a rapid increase in the need to build Wi-Fi environments at construction sites. However, there are various construction sites, such as vast sites, deep in the mountains, tunnels, and near the sea. The "Wi-Fi environment construction solution" provided by Hi-Tech Inter is suitable for such diverse conditions. You can easily build a Wi-Fi environment by combining the outdoor wireless LAN access point "E500 Wi-Fi AP (hereafter E500)" and the LTE compatible wireless router "HWL-2511-SS".

The E500 has the characteristic of being able to cover a wide range with a radius of 300m with one unit. Since it emits radio waves not only in the horizontal direction but also in the vertical direction, it can be used at the construction site of a building that wants to expand the area in the vertical direction. Power consumption is low at about 8W as standard, and if you prepare a small mobile battery, it will last for a day. As for environmental resistance, it conforms to IP67 and is resistant to salt damage, so it can be used in coastal areas. The HWL-2511-SS has a wide operating temperature range of -20°C to +60°C, and is installed in harsh environments such as factories and power plants as well as construction sites. It's small and lightweight, about the size of a business card holder, so it's easy to install. The price is affordable at 180,000 yen for E500 and 83,000 yen for HWL-2511-SS (both manufacturer's suggested retail prices). In addition to equipment, Hitoshi Matsui of the company says, "By having Hi-Tech Inter take care of LTE line contracts, we can provide a one-stop service without having to deal with another company." Redundancy at 2.4/5GHz　Uninterrupted Wi-Fi can be created Furthermore, Hi-tech Inter also offers a "line redundancy solution" that is ideal for sites where communication is interrupted. Wi-Fi is susceptible to interference from nearby APs, and when it detects radio waves from weather radar or aviation radar that uses the 5.6 GHz band, it is necessary to move to another channel, and in some cases it may take about 1 minute to communicate. is sometimes interrupted. With line redundancy solutions, two lines, 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, are used for redundancy, and when one line is cut, seamless switching to the other line enables uninterrupted communication. Mr. Jiro Kawabe of the company says, "It is often used for video transmission at construction sites, parking lots, factories, etc. where wiring is difficult."

The reference price is about 280,000 yen even if you combine 4 wireless APs and 2 line redundancy devices. We also handle IP cameras and recording devices, so it is also possible to provide them as a set. In constructing a Wi-Fi environment, not only the strengths of these solutions themselves, but also the abundant know-how of Hi-Tech Inter is utilized. Mr. Kawabe explains, "We not only sell products, but also provide construction support at various customers' sites. We look at the characteristics of the site and provide solid support, such as the optimal installation method." In addition, "If you consult with us about any problems or requests at construction sites, we can make various proposals other than the above solutions based on our know-how and product lineup," says Mr. Matsui. Hi-Tech Inter will be a reliable ally for companies that want to easily build and strengthen Wi-Fi environments at construction sites.
