Kvaser Air Bridge M12

This radio solution can be used to connect CAN based control systems and test equipment in scenarios and situations where it is desirable to replace cabling and related parts. 

The Kvaser Air Bridge M12 is designed for ease-of use, while retaining a certain flexibility for the user by means of configuration; choose between "one to one", or "one to any".

Please note: to create one wireless CAN bridge using the Kvaser Air Bridge M12, it is necessary to purchase two devices. Each additional node requires a further Kvaser Air Bridge M12 unit.
