Why We Built It:

In mid-2026, we will introduce the BR-110AX, a new Ethernet-to-Wi-Fi bridge designed specifically for medical devices. Here’s the story behind its development.

Small, Efficient, and Absolutely Must Connect

In healthcare, reliable connectivity is non-negotiable. As we discussed in our previous post, Reliable Hospital Wi-Fi: How Purpose-Built Connectivity Keeps Patients Safe and Networks Always On,  secure and stable connections can mean the difference between saving time, or saving lives. When connectivity fails, valuable clinical hours are lost. In a world where every second counts, medical device manufacturers and hospitals share one mission: ensure life-saving equipment is always connected, mobile, and reliable.

The answer lies in in innovating how devices connect. That’s where the Silex BR-110AX comes in.

Built on Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) technology, the BR-110AX is more than just a bridge, it’s an enabler that empowers healthcare teams to focus on patient care, not network downtime.

Small Size, Mighty Impact

For medical equipment manufacturers, every millimeter matters. The BR-110AX is engineered with a compact footprint, making it easy to integrate into both new and existing medical devices, from patient monitors and infusion pumps to mobile carts.

Its small size also adds safety: when used as a retrofit solution in hospitals, it stays unobtrusive and protected from accidental contact. As an official accessory, device manufacturers can also bypass the need for additional radio certification, reducing development time and cost.

And while small, the BR-110AX is built to last. It’s tested against a wide range of hospital-grade disinfectants, leveraging our extensive experience working directly with healthcare facilities and device manufacturers.

Powering Care, Not Draining Batteries

Mobility is freedom in healthcare. Portable medical devices must stay powered through long shifts and critical procedures. The BR-110AX is optimized for exceptionally low power consumption, drawing energy from a single USB port on the host device.

This efficiency translates into longer battery life, keeping devices operational and reliable, no matter how demanding the day gets. 

The Heartbeat of the Connected Hospital

The BR-110AX is designed for the most demanding clinical environments. It delivers the secure, robust, and reliable Wi-Fi connectivity hospitals depend on.

For medical device manufacturers, it provides an efficient path to wireless innovation, enabling Wi-Fi functionality without the costs, delays, or complexities of recertification.

The Silex BR-110AX isn’t just connecting devices; it’s helping build a future where technology and healthcare work seamlessly together, empowering clinicians to focus on what matters most: the patient.
