ProfiDAT^® is a contactless data transfer solution for communication between fixed and mobile control units from Conductix-Wampfler. ProfiDAT^® makes it possible to achieve reliable transfer of mixed data (video, audio and real-time control) at very high data rates using Conductix-Wampfler slotted waveguide technology. Data can be safely transferred at rates up to 100 Mbit/s with average latency of only 3ms. The unique configuration of waveguide and mobile antennas results in a system with integrated shielding. This isolation means that ProfiDAT^® is license free and can safely transfer data, even in the most challenging radio environments (e.g. shipping container terminals).

ProfiDAT^® is excellently suited for integration into conductor rail systems because the waveguide profile has been engineered for dual use as the protective earth (PE) conductor rail. This results in a very compact complete system because an additional PE conductor rail is not required. The ProfiDAT^® data transfer system can be combined with multiple available Conductix-Wampfler conductor rail systems.
