Industrial Antennas & Radios
RSP Supply carries a full line of Industrial Ethernet and Serial Radios from trusted brands such as Freewave, Phoenix Contact, Semtech, and GE MDS. These industrial radios are designed for secure, long-range, and reliable data communication in demanding automation, SCADA, and process control applications.
Industrial data radios are used to wirelessly transmit information between remote devices, sensors, and controllers where physical cabling is not practical. Each model of radio uses a specific communication protocol, meaning devices must match by brand and type to communicate effectively. The three primary types of industrial radios are Serial Radios, I/O Radios, and Ethernet Radios - each designed for different data transfer needs and communication speeds.
All industrial radios from RSP Supply are designed to perform in challenging environments where reliability and uptime are critical. Combined with the right antennas, whether directional or omnidirectional, these radios ensure robust, long-distance communication across industrial and commercial systems.
FAQs
Q: What are industrial radios used for?
Industrial radios are used to wirelessly transmit data between control systems, sensors, and devices in industrial automation, SCADA, and remote monitoring applications.
Q: What is the difference between Serial and Ethernet radios?
Serial radios use a master/slave polling system to exchange data one device at a time, while Ethernet radios allow simultaneous communication between multiple devices using faster packet-based transmission.
Q: Can industrial radios from different brands communicate with each other?
No. Each brand and model uses its own communication protocol, meaning radios must match by brand and type to operate within the same network.
Q: Are industrial radios suitable for long-distance communication?
Yes. Many Ethernet and Serial radios are designed for long-range communication, especially when paired with directional or omnidirectional antennas.
Q: What industries use industrial Ethernet and Serial radios?
Industrial radios are commonly used in oil and gas, water treatment, manufacturing, energy distribution, and transportation sectors for reliable wireless control and monitoring.
