SPEEDLAN Installation and Operation User Guide
2-2 Quick Start
System Description
The SPEEDLAN brouters are high speed, long range wireless LAN brouters that provide connectivity
to remote Ethernet networks. For single point-to-point links, a SPEEDLAN CPE can be used in each
building to create a wireless communication line. For multipoint links, a SPEEDLAN acts as the
central base station, which controls the communication between multiple SPEEDLAN brouters acting
as CPE. The local brouter communicates with a remote brouter on another LAN. This effectively
creates an extended wireless network, spanning sites situated up to 25 miles apart. This enables a
central Ethernet LAN to be connected with one or more branch office LANs. A single brouter with an
omnidirectional antenna may communicate with multiple brouters to create multipoint wireless site-
to-site connectivity.
Rooftop and Tower Installations Warning
Rooftop, tower and mounted equipment (brouters) installations are extremely dangerous and
incorrect installation can result in death, injury, or property damage. These installations must be
performed by professional antenna installers only.
