Last year, HMS Networks achieved a significant milestone by successfully implementing RBMS (Routing Behind Mobile Station) within the Anybus Bolt 5G and the 5G router. As the first industrial company to support this feature, it is now a standard in our products. This feature, while seemingly small, allows the IP addresses of devices “behind” the Bolt 5G to be assigned from the 5G side, enabling seamless routing of messages to these devices.
This advancement is crucial as it allows a 5G network to be integrated into existing installations, replacing parts of the network with a wireless 5G solution without changing existing IP addresses. This is particularly important for many applications where reprogramming PLCs and controlled devices is not feasible.
The Anybus Wireless Bolt 5G is designed to connect industrial networks over 5G effortlessly, offering low latency, high throughput, and high reliability. Its unique bolt-on form factor, pre-directed antennas, IP67 protection, and minimal in-cabinet footprint make it ideal for deployment across new and existing equipment.
With the Anybus Wireless Bolt 5G, manufacturers of industrial devices and machines can integrate cutting-edge 5G technology into their products. This not only enhances their product offerings but also positions them well for the future as 5G becomes more prevalent in industrial settings.
While 5G capabilities are still emerging in many factories, the potential benefits are immense. By partnering with HMS Networks, manufacturers can stay ahead of the curve, offering their customers a reliable and future-proof 5G solution.
