Introduction
The OUTDOOR BRIDGE covers a large operating distance, providing an
802.11a/b/g outdoor WLAN which enables users to access the Internet or an
organization’s network.
At up to five times the speed of previous wireless devices, you can work faster
and more efficiently, increasing productivity. With the OUTDOOR BRIDGE,
bandwidth-intensive applications like graphics or multimedia will benefit
significantly because large files are able to move across the network quickly.
The OUTDOOR BRIDGE features a die-cast watertight housing and a built-in
lightning protector to protect the access point from harsh environmental
conditions, including extreme variance in temperature. It also includes Power
over Ethernet (POE) and a unique outdoor remote-mounted design for easy
installation. With two mounting kits, you have the option of either pole or wall
mounting.
The OUTDOOR BRIDGE is suitable for manufacturing plants, industrial sites,
military bases, universities, hotels, airports and golf courses.
The OUTDOOR BRIDGE has Dual Radio functionality for simultaneous AP
and Bridge operations for backhaul applications.
Configurable in four different modes (access point, bridge, multi-point bridge,
and wireless client), the OUTDOOR BRIDGE offers 128-bit encryption, WPA
and 802.1X authentication when used with a RADIUS server, MAC address
access control, and additional security features.
