PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION

The AGV Wireless Roaming Router represents a paradigm shift in industrial mobility infrastructure. Designed specifically for the unique demands of automated guided vehicles, this platform is a Layer 3 routing solution that ensures sub-50ms seamless handover between access points, maintaining uninterrupted telemetry, control, and teleoperation links. It is engineered to operate in the harshest industrial environments, featuring a wide operating temperature range (-40°C to +75°C), high vibration tolerance, and an IP67-rated chassis. This document details the full hardware specifications, radio architecture, and roaming algorithms that define the new benchmark for industrial wireless routing.

CORE INTERNAL TOPOLOGY

The internal architecture is a convergence of high-performance computing and deterministic radio switching. At its core is a quad-core ARM Cortex-A72 processor operating at 2.2 GHz, paired with a dedicated Real-Time Unit (RTU) for managing the PHY/MAC layers of the dual Wi-Fi 6E radio modules. The system integrates a hardware-accelerated encryption engine (AES-NI) to offload IPsec and MACsec processing, ensuring that secure tunnels do not compromise throughput. The Layer 2/Layer 3 forwarding engine leverages an FPGA-based programmable pipeline, allowing for custom packet filters and priority queuing necessary for industrial protocol traffic. The system memory architecture comprises 4 GB of DDR4 ECC RAM for routing tables and stateful firewall sessions, and 8 GB of eMMC flash for firmware and persistent configuration logs.

SWITCHING AND RADIO SUBSYSTEM CAPABILITIES

The routing engine is complemented by a multi-radio concurrent architecture. It features a primary 4x4:4 MIMO radio operating in the 5 GHz UNII-2c and UNII-3 bands, supporting up to 2400 Mbps of data rate for the backbone network. A secondary 2x2:2 MIMO radio provides dedicated scanning and security monitoring on the 2.4 GHz band, simultaneously performing spectrum analysis and rogue AP detection without interrupting data flow. The roaming router utilizes a patent-pending Fast-Transition (FT) algorithm that employs Opportunistic Key Caching (OKC) and 802.11r/k/v to reduce authentication times. When coupled with our centralized Wireless LAN Controller (WLC), the system achieves Zero-Transition Roaming, where the data plane is steered via a mobility tunnel, achieving packet loss rates of less than 0.01% during vehicle traversal of a facility.

OPERATIONAL ADVANTAGES AND SECURITY

Security is not an afterthought but an intrinsic design principle. The router features a hardware Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0 for secure boot, ensuring only signed firmware loads. All management interfaces (SSH, HTTPS, SNMPv3) are standard. For data encryption, the platform supports WPA3-Enterprise (GCMP-256) for wireless links and MACsec (IEEE 802.1AE) for wired backhaul, establishing a secure domain from the vehicle's controller to the network core. Operational advantages include a dual, hot-swappable power input (24/48 VDC, supporting standard industrial voltages with reverse polarity protection) and a built-in GNSS receiver (GPS/GLONASS) for precise vehicle positioning and time synchronization, crucial for synchronized multi-robot operations.

SPECIFICATION MATRIX

REGULATORY COMPLIANCE AND STANDARDS
