BLUEGIGA RELEASES WEATHER PROOF CASING OPTIONS FOR ITS ACCESS SERVER PRODUCT FAMILY

New enclosure options enable a safe use of Bluegiga Access Server at outdoor conditions.

Espoo Finland 10th of December- Bluegiga�s successful Access Server product family is extended with weather repellent casing options. The casings have options that protect the standard Bluegiga Access Server against water, humidity, frost and vibration.

The casing options fulfil the IP classification 54 requirements, meaning that the product is water resistant. Casing also fulfils the IK 08 (front surface) classification and IK 07 (side surface), so it has strong mechanical endurance. The frost option is targeted for applications where rapid temperature changes may create humidity inside the product or temperatures drop below zero.

Bluegiga releases three different options for different purposes; the basic version is against dirt, water and humidity. Two more rugged versions have protection also against frost and vibration, which is very typical in moving vehicles. The casings are delivered completely assembled having a  connector  for electricity and if needed a connector for Ethernet cable.

The new casing option against water and humidity is available immediately. The frost and vibration versions are available during the Q107. Images of the product are available at
