Where and why do you need Wireless Coverage in an extremely cold environment? 1. Remote Locations: Access points and internet equipment may be deployed in remote locations with extremely cold temperatures, such as research stations in polar regions. (Barely for us) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Specialized Applications: Scientific research, military operations, and other specialized applications may demand reliable communication equipment in very cold environments. To operate effectively in extreme cold, Ruijie Reyee often designs equipment with enhanced insulation, components rated for low temperatures, and specialized enclosures to protect against moisture and temperature fluctuations. Why Ruijie RAP6260G can survive in a -40℃ environment ![]() 1. Heating Elements: RAP6260(G) includes a built-in module with heating feature that activates when temperatures drop below a certain threshold. These elements keep the internal components warm enough to function correctly. (Below -30℃, the feature will be enabled and it will be heating 15 minutes to warm up the CPU) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 1. Extreme temperature fluctuation Test For every test circle, the environmental temp w drop or increase relatively by 40° C and remain for 3 hours to see reliability. (100 times passed) ![]() Put the Device under the low-temp range(from25° C to -40° C and maintain low temperatures) for 24h,48h, and so on. (100 times passed) ![]() From the indoor temperature down to the lowest temperature to see if the device can operate and run normally, every 2 hours drop 5° C to 10° C (100 times passed) (Optical module may not work normally under -30℃ natural temperature due to material specification) ![]() Background ![]() Being stranded on a 2,500-meter peak during aviolent snowstorm while your walkie-talkie is constantly out of order— You feel bad, really bad. Especially if you are responsible for managing the business operations of the entire snowy ski resort. James Ray, one of our new customers, general manager of Forest Farm Resort, agrees: “My staff must be able to communicate quickly and clearly when there is a severe snowstorm, or a skier has a problem. Emergency decision-making, so we need reliable means of communication, well-say, stable internet." Forest Farm Resort welcomes more than 50,000visitors a year. With a goal of doubling visitor numbers to 100,000, James needed a better means of communicating to manage the ski resort's business operations. Therefore, our local Channel Sales recommended them to use Reyee Hotel Solution (Wild Version) with special product RAP6260(G) for severe environment installation. It can establish a communication network covering the entire mountain and every corner of the resort. ![]() James said the main challenge for the resort was how to improve communications from the base of the mountain to the summit at 2,500 meters above sea level and to the multiple management stations throughout the mountain; even worse, during dark winter, the outside temperature was down to -40° C and lower. "No fixed means of communication other than cellphones when talking to people on top of the mountain and forest. However, the quality of the signal is poor," complained by teams. Additionally, James wants to create a direct network communication link between the new cable car(Ski Lift), Cyber Live Room, as well as the various visitor offices and travel agencies. “We wanted to provide potential visitors with the latest information and showcase about the conditions of whole town in the form of video and data. The originals / traditional way simply could not do this. Therefore, we decided to use Reyee Hotel Solution with RAP6260(G).” James said. Need to deal with: 1. Outside the area, there is a bare signal for the cell. 2. Noin-time surveillance in whole resort town and no internet for site-to-site, badfor emergencies. 3. Walkie-talkie is not Reliable for communication from base to peak. 4. Harsh outside temperature. Why choose RAP6260(G)? James explained that he chose the RAP6260(G) for three main reasons. 1. Enterprise-level chip with a special heating feature can run stably in extreme weather 2. Highest outdoor protection of IP68. 3. The low price of Wi-Fi 6 Entry-level product Results In 2021, there finally is a wireless network that could bring people a full coverage network even in the ice and snow at -40 ° C. ![]() ![]() Although the town's scenic spot has not yet reached the peak season, security guards and staff can be seen everywhere on the street, and from the "snow township LIVE" (real-time LIVE, the transmitting is very smooth~) opened on its official website. ![]() ![]() According to them, the 4G LTE signal in the town is not good, most of time they have to use walkie-talkie for communication or simply text and phone call on 3G. Now, there is a signal wherever you go. They say it's warm in their heart and feel blessed. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() RG-RAP6260(G): https://www.ruijienetworks.com/products/Reyee-Wireless/reyee-outdoor-ap/rap6260g RG-RAP6260(H):https://www.ruijienetworks.com/products/Reyee-Wireless/reyee-outdoor-ap/RAP6260H RG-RAP6260(H)-D: https://www.ruijienetworks.com/products/Reyee-Wireless/reyee-outdoor-ap/rap6260h-d ***All features/functions are mostly tested in simulation environments.
