SES RPWIFIT1AWH, WIFI NETWORK INTERFACE CARD KIT WITH ANTENNA, T1A with hood only
The RPWIFIT1AWH is an SES WiFi network interface card kit with antenna for compatible TEC1A/T1A telephone entry systems. This version is application-specific: the enclosure and hood condition determine which antenna kit should be used. That matters because the antenna path, mounting hardware, and weatherhood clearance can affect both fitment and signal quality.
Use this kit when the installed SES entry panel needs network connectivity where a hardwired network run is not practical. It is not a replacement for a modem board, MUI board, reader input module, or cellular router. Wireless performance still depends on local signal strength, access point placement, enclosure location, interference, and network configuration.
Compatible With
- Select Engineered Systems TEC1A / T1A telephone entry units
- T1A / TEC1A units with a weatherhood
- SES telephone entry network access applications where a WiFi interface kit is specified
- Sites using SES software/network administration where WiFi is the chosen connection method
- Not a universal replacement for NIC3, SCMI cellular router, modem boards, or CAT/TEC WiFi kits unless model-specific documentation confirms it

Technician Note
Do not choose the WiFi kit by board function alone. Confirm whether the installed unit has a weatherhood and whether the antenna hardware and route match the cabinet.
Before Ordering
- Confirm the installed unit is the correct TEC1A/T1A style.
- Check whether the cabinet has a weatherhood.
- Verify the part number suffix before ordering.
- Confirm WiFi signal strength at the gate or entry location.
- Confirm that network administration is intended over WiFi and not Ethernet, modem, or cellular.
Important Ordering Warnings
The with-hood and without-hood versions should not be swapped by appearance. Antenna mounting and cabinet layout must match the installed unit.
Professional Advisory
Network setup may require a site administrator or access-control technician. Outdoor entry panels often need careful antenna placement and a reliable WiFi signal to avoid intermittent connection issues.
Product Questions & Answers
What is the difference between RPWIFIT1A and RPWIFIT1AWH?
The application difference is the cabinet/hood condition. RPWIFIT1A is written for T1A units without a hood, while RPWIFIT1AWH is written for T1A units with a hood.
Is this a cellular module?
No. This is a WiFi network interface kit, not an SCMI cellular router or cellular antenna.
Will this work if the gate area has weak WiFi?
Weak signal can cause unreliable communication. Confirm WiFi strength at the unit before choosing a WiFi interface.
Can this replace a modem board?
No. It is a network/WiFi interface kit, not a telephone modem board.
Does the antenna come with the kit?
The uploaded product name identifies it as a WiFi network interface card kit with antenna. Confirm package contents against current SES packaging before installation.
