Airborne Industrial Wireless Serial Device Server
Serial to 802.11b/g Wireless LAN
ABDG-SE-IN5410, ABDG-SE-IN5420
Five Layer Security
The Airborne™ line of industrial wireless
device servers and Ethernet adapters
are built for networking equipment
in an array of machine-to-machine
(M2M) applications. Available in both
single and dual-port models, each
wireless device server comes standard
with industry-leading RF performance,
enterprise class security support,
and industrial-strength packaging
designed to withstand the most
challenging M2M environments.
Protecting enterprise networks is
one of the most important challenges
undertaken by today’s network
administrators. Airborne security
keeps your data private by using
the latest wireless security protocols
(WPA2-Enterprise) and SSH tunneling.
It protects the network by encrypting
configurations and providing an
embedded firewall. Today there is
no more secure solution for Enterprise
class device servers.
Quatech supports the broadest range
of EAP processes (including EAP-TLS,
EAP-TTLS, PEAP and LEAP). In
addition, the Airborne line supports the
most flexible certificate delivery and
management available in the wireless
device market.

Sub C Approval
5 year warranty
The Airborne product line is rated to
meet full industrial operating temperature
range of -20°C to +85°C. The industrial
series also incorporates a variable power
supply (5-36 VDC) with screw terminal
connectors for easy installation.
Airbone wireless device servers come
standard with an integrated 3 dBi omni
antenna. Users may also extend the
range of the Airborne line by selecting
a higher-gain antenna and magnetic
mount options (contact Quatech
for an approved list).
Quatech’s highly-optimized 32 bit
platform delivers superior transmit power
and receive sensitivity, leading to greater
range and the highest available
throughput rates over both the serial
and 10/100 Ethernet interfaces.
All Airborne Wireless Device Servers
are built to meet worldwide regulatory
requirements. Certifications include
FCC, IOC, CE, ETSI, RoHS and WEEE.

SpeedLink™ Roaming
Flexible for a Broad Range of Applications
The latest Airborne SpeedLink™ roaming
feature further enhances the high level
of connection reliability. SpeedLink™
enables mobile devices to roam quickly
and freely throughout a wireless network
without loosing important data. If you’re
walking around a hospital or driving
through a warehouse SpeedLink™
ensures you stay connected.
Markets
Quatech has delivered high-performance
device networking and connectivity
solutions around the world since 1983.
Today, Airborne wireless device servers
and Ethernet adapters operate
in a wide-range of M2M applications,
including:
• Industrial Automation
• Medical Devices
• Retail/Point of Sale
• Vehicle Telematics
• Military Communications
• Material Handling & Logistics
• Energy Management
• Test & Measurement
• Security & Access Control
Airborne’s unique PortFlex™ capability enables users
to configure communication ports in any combination through
a simple setup wizard. Airborne PortFlex™ supports UART,
Ethernet and 802.11 interfaces, and provides the ability
to independently configure each port.
Data and control can be accessed to and from any
of the available ports on the device. For example the serial
data can be accessed from the wireless or Ethernet port
while the device is managed from the same port without
changing the device configuration.

Airborne Management Center
Managing your Airborne™ products is now simpler, whether you have one or one thousand.
KEY FEATURES
The Quatech Airborne Management Center
(AMC) is a device discovery, control
and management application that supports
individual and group management of all
aspects of the devices:
• Firmware updating
• Configuration management
• Access management (passwords)
• Virtual COM port installation
AMC allows a single or group of devices
to have their firmware updated
in the background.
