AirGuard® iGateway
3e-525ii

Secure wireless mesh access point for ISA100 field devices
3eTI’s AirGuard® iGateway™ 3e-525ii is an industrial mesh Access Point (AP) that extends process control networks into the field by bridging wireless field devices and Wi-Fi devices to wired Distributed Control System (DCS) networks.  The iGateway has been shown to reduce the cost of ownership for facilities requiring coverage for ISA100.11a field devices and Wi-Fi devices by 25%, making it a tremendously affordable and secure communications solution.

Once deployed, the iGateway self-discovers to form a reliable, low-latency, secure wireless mesh network capable of communicating simultaneously with wireless transmitters, laptops, handhelds, and other IP-based devices.
