Belden introduced the DAP849, a new member of its DAP800 family of industrial Wi-Fi 6 access points. The DAP849 is designed for outdoor and trackside applications that require wireless connectivity, fiber network integration, and industrial-grade environmental protection in a single device.
The DAP849 combines an 802.11ax access point, a managed Layer 2 Ethernet switch, direct AC power input, and fiber-optic uplinks in one IP67-rated enclosure. Available versions support either dual 1 Gbps fiber ports or dual 2.5 Gbps fiber ports, along with two 10/100/1000 Mbps M12 Ethernet ports. The device also supports industrial redundancy protocols, including Media Redundancy Protocol (MRP), Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), and Ethernet Ring Protection Switching (ERPS).
The access point uses dual-band Wi-Fi 6 radios with 4x4 MIMO operation in the 5 GHz band and 2x2 MIMO operation in the 2.4 GHz band. A dedicated scanning radio supports wireless monitoring and security functions.
Within the DAP800 product family, the DAP849 extends the outdoor access point portfolio beyond the existing DAP847 models. While the DAP847 platform provides industrial Wi-Fi 6 connectivity for outdoor and onboard applications, the DAP849 adds integrated managed switching, dual fiber uplinks, and direct AC power capability. This allows deployment in locations where fiber infrastructure and AC power are already available without requiring separate switching or power-conversion equipment.
The DAP849 and DAP847 share the same Wi-Fi 6 radio platform and management environment, including support for Belden Wireless Orchestration and Industrial HiVision for centralized configuration, monitoring, and diagnostics. Together, the products provide a range of options for industrial, transportation, and infrastructure applications requiring rugged wireless networking.
