Wireless CAN Bridge

Key Features

  • Certified 2.4 GHz wireless communication module
  • License-free operation in the 2.4 GHz ISM band
  • FCC Part 15 compliant
  • RF output power up to 19.9 dBm EIRP
  • Wireless range up to 150 m line of sight
  • Integrated 120 Ω CAN termination, selectable by DIP switch
The WCB – Wireless CAN Bridge is designed to convert CAN messages received from the CAN bus into wireless RF signals, which are then transmitted to another WCB unit mounted on a vehicle or nearby equipment. The system supports bidirectional communication and provides an operating range of up to 150 m line of sight.
The unit uses a certified 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi/Bluetooth wireless module, enabling reliable wireless communication in the license-free 2.4 GHz ISM band.
The WCB is part of the Emitter Electronics MMX product family and can be seamlessly integrated with other MMX devices, such as controllers, displays, keypads, intercom systems and other CAN-based equipment.
The WCB unit is equipped with an internal omnidirectional RF antenna, which radiates the signal in all directions. For optimal wireless performance, the unit should be mounted as high as possible on the vehicle or machine. The installation should provide a clear line of sight between the communicating units to maximize signal strength and reduce the risk of interference or signal attenuation
