The Banner DX80DR2M-H is a rugged and flexible Multihop data radio designed to extend wireless communication capabilities across complex industrial environments. Offering long-range connectivity, multiple power options, and a durable enclosure, this model is a reliable solution for monitoring, control, and data transfer in distributed automation systems.

As part of Banner’s SureCross® DX80 series, the DX80DR2M-H is engineered to provide multihop networking, allowing data to be relayed through multiple radios in a system. This extends communication distances far beyond point-to-point limitations, ensuring seamless connectivity in large plants, outdoor installations, or facilities with physical obstructions. By intelligently routing data, the radio increases system reliability and reduces the risk of communication dropouts.

One of its key strengths is its flexible power capability. The device can operate on a standard 10–30 V DC supply or switch to a 3.6–5.5 V DC low-power mode, depending on the application requirements. This versatility allows it to be used in both permanent, wired installations and battery- or solar-powered setups where energy efficiency is critical. The FlexPower® option makes the DX80DR2M-H highly adaptable for remote monitoring applications where reliable power sources may not be available.

The unit’s rugged design is supported by IP67 and NEMA 6 environmental ratings, ensuring full protection against dust ingress and strong resistance to water, including submersion and washdowns. This makes the DX80DR2M-H suitable for demanding environments such as oil and gas, agriculture, water treatment, material handling, and outdoor industrial facilities. Its robust build ensures long service life and consistent communication, even in extreme weather or high-vibration conditions.

The enclosed terminal housing style provides secure and protected connections, reducing the risk of accidental disconnection or damage during operation. This design also makes installation straightforward while ensuring reliable electrical integrity in the field.

The DX80DR2M-H serves as a powerful tool for remote monitoring, machine-to-machine communication, and industrial IoT (IIoT) applications. It can be deployed to collect sensor data from remote assets, monitor environmental conditions, control field devices, or extend the reach of SCADA and PLC systems. Its multihop capability ensures that even widely distributed systems remain connected without requiring costly wired infrastructure.

In summary, the Banner DX80DR2M-H Multihop Data Radio combines long-range wireless networking, dual power options, rugged IP67/NEMA 6 durability, and secure enclosed terminals into one reliable communication solution. Built for industrial automation and remote connectivity, it is ideal for engineers and system designers who need a flexible, scalable, and durable platform for data collection and control across challenging environments.
