Overview
Your Safe@Office wireless appliance features a built-in 802.11b/g access point that is
tightly integrated with the firewall and VPN.
Safe@Office wireless appliances support the latest 802.11g standard (up to 54 Mbps) and
are backwards compatible with the older 802.11b standard (up to 11 Mbps), so that both
new and old adapters of these standards are interoperable. Safe@Office wireless
appliances also support a special Super G mode that allows reaching a throughput of up to
108 Mbps with Super G compatible stations. For more information on the Super G mode
refer to: http://www.super-ag.com.
Safe@Office wireless appliances transmit in 2.4GHz range, using dual diversity antennas
to increase the range. In addition, Safe@Office appliances support a special extended
range (XR) mode that allows up to three times the range of a regular 802.11g access point.
XR dramatically stretches the performance of a wireless LAN, by enabling long-range
connections. The architecture delivers receive sensitivities of up to 105 dBm, over 20 dB
more than the 802.11 specification. This allows ranges of up to 300 meters indoors, and up
to 1 km (3200 ft) outdoors, with XR-enabled wireless stations (actual range depends on
environment).
