Hardware Overview
The MP-620 provides wireless access point services for clients in the local LAN
area. It is housed in a weatherproof enclosure for mounting outdoors and includes
its own brackets for attaching to a wall, pole, radio mast, or tower structure. The
unit is powered through its Ethernet cable connection from a power injector
module that is installed indoors.
Radio Characteristics – The IEEE 802.11a and 802.11g standards use a radio
modulation technique known as Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing
(OFDM), and a shared collision domain (CSMA/CA). The 802.11a standard
operates in the 5 GHz Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (UNII)
band, and the 802.11g standard in the 2.4 GHz band.
IEEE 802.11g includes backward compatibility with the IEEE 802.11b standard.
IEEE 802.11b also operates at 2.4 GHz, but uses Direct Sequence Spread
Spectrum (DSSS) and Complementary Code Keying (CCK) modulation
technology to achieve a communication rate of up to 11 Mbps.
The MP-620 provides a 54 Mbps half-duplex connection for each active channel.
