Avoid fiber cable installation expenses and problems or monthly T1/E1 charges by connecting LANs over secure, high-speed wireless links. The outdoor bridge with integrated 18dBi high-gain panel antenna is designed for short or long distance (up to 17 km or 10 miles) communications. Deployed with 3Com 11g 54Mbps Wireless LAN Indoor Bridges, 3Com gives you an intelligent, economical solution for connecting LANs in campus-like settings. The 11g 54 Mbps bridge delivers ten to twenty times the bandwidth of T1/E1 links and supports up to 1000 clients. It will operate in an either point-to-point or point-to-multipoint configuration to meet growth and application demands. 3Com SuperStack 3 Switch 4400 PWR Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch, IntelliJack PoE power sources, or other PoE injectors can supply both power and data to the bridge over network cabling. WPA and AES encryption provide the latest industry- standard high security while WEP encryption supports legacy wireless installations. The wireless bridge also supports the latest 802.1X server authentication. VPN and VLAN support keeps network data private and transmissions safe from security breaches. Setup wizard software makes installation and configuration easy. Once setup is complete, the bridge can be remotely managed using a standard Web browser or SNMP management tools.
