1.2 The ES440
The Fortress ES440 Infrastructure Mesh Point is a full-featured
Fortress network device, providing strong data encryption and
Multi-factor Authentication™, including native RADIUS
authentication, to users and devices on the network it secures.
The ES440 contains four radios:
 Radio 1 is a dual-band 802.11a/b/g/n radio that can be
configured to use either the 802.11b/g band or the 802.11a
band, with an option for 802.11n capability in either band.
 Radios 2, 3 and 4 are high-power radios fixed on the
802.11a band, with an option for 802.11n capability.
Any of the ES440’s radios can function as a wireless access
point (AP), providing secure WLAN connectivity to wireless
devices within range and as a wireless bridge or node in a
mesh network.
