The Scalance M812-1 and Scalance M816-1 enable users to access automation networks and components remotely from anywhere in the world over the public digital subscriber lines (DSL) of different providers.
The third new router – the Scalance M826-2 – is designed for communication over private (leased) lines.
The new additions ar suitable for applications where wireless communication is either restricted or impossible; for example, in water treatment plants or in medical environments.
As asymmetric digital subscriber lines (ADSL) routers, the Scalance M812-1 and M816-1 ensure reliable and low-cost connection of Ethernet-based subnets and programmable controllers to wired DSL networks that support the ASDL2+ (Asynchronous Digital Subscriber Line) protocol.
The new routers also offer transmission rates of up to 25 Mbit/s from network to end device (downlink) and 3.5 Mbit/s from device to network (uplink).
The Scalance M826-2 SHDSL router (single-pair high-speed digital subscriber line) is connected to the Ethernet by means of private two-wire or stranded cables, ensuring fast transmission rates of up to15.3 Mbit/s which can be boosted accordingly in case of installations with four or more wires.
