Specialist in signal transmission solutions for mission-critical applications, Belden, has confirmed its compliance with the new Radio Equipment Directive (RED) 2014/53/EU. All Hirschmann wireless solutions fully adhere to the new guidelines, including the OpenBAT, BAT450-F, BAT867R and BAT-C Industrial Wireless LAN access points/clients, as well as all OWL Industrial Cellular Routers. The new RED replaces the former R&TTE (Radio and Telecommunication Terminal Equipment Directive 1999/5/EC) after a year long transition period.

All radio products shipped to the European Union on or after 13th June must conform with the new directive. While some radio equipment manufacturers faced challenges in meeting the deadline, all Hirschmann affected radio devices are RED-compliant on time.

Per the European Commission, the new RED ensures a single market for radio equipment by setting essential requirements for safety and health, electromagnetic compatibility and the efficient use of the radio spectrum. This applies to all products using the radio frequency spectrum, including Hirschmann products.

To meet the new requirements defined by RED, Hirschmann devices with the HiLCOS operating system (OpenBAT, BAT450-F and BAT867-R) are now being produced with new software versions (09.12.5700 and 09.14.5700).
