Wi-Fi Network Bridges

The SiteHawk Wi-Fi Network Bridges offer a complete endpoint network solution for mobile mining machines. Combining the radio, power and network components into a single ruggedized solution allows for a significant reduction in installation complexity and maintenance costs. The integrated Wi-Fi uplink radio includes our unique mobile roaming optimization technology that outperforms all other Wi-Fi client radio systems in a mobile mining environment.

Operating on the OpenWRT network platform allows for site specific customizations, firmware builds and access to the latest features and security patches.

Choose from the 7 port RB704 model featuring a built-in Managed Ethernet Switch or the compact 5 port RB554 model with an optional hotspot radio.

Monitoring

SNMP extensions have been developed to allow for simple connectivity monitoring of the Wi-Fi Bridges and the port connected devices. PRTG Dashboards provide instant and historical data for radio performance metrics in addition to the connected devices.

Integrations

Data transfer between connected devices allows for sharing of radio connection details for user displays, support and diagnostics.
