Wireless
The Solution

Our wireless Ethernet bridge solution can provide businesses with network connectivity at a fraction of the price of a T1 or any other wired solution, without monthly telephone company line charges.

This, wireless solution will supply bridging for 255 remote Ethernet networks using the manufacturers proprietary point-to-multipoint radio protocol, range permitting. The patented robust spread spectrum technology is interference resistant and allows wireless connections with no radio licensing hassles. The system operates in the 2.4-2.5835 GHz radio band.

Wireless systems represent a significant advance in network bridging technology. Features include IP address filtering, throughput throttling and monitoring and a flash-code upgrade path. It offers high levels of security and reliability and is extremely cost-effective. With a peak data rate of 4.5 Megabits per second (Mbps) and one of the industry’s most efficient uses of bandwidth, this wireless system delivers consistent throughput rates that are significantly higher than competitive models that list faster peak data rates. Both SNMP and the RS-232 management port allow users to manage, configure and monitor the whole network with ease.

Wireless
The Advantage

There are many advantages to using wireless bridges. Businesses with operating units scattered over a number of locations know that installing wired WAN connections to all these locations can be expensive and time-consuming. These connections have traditionally been implemented by purchasing expensive terminal equipment, and by leasing T1 or fractional-T1 data links from the telephone company.

Wireless offers a real world alternative. There are no complicated or expensive radio licensing issues when installing such a system; our wireless system is specifically designed to operate in the license-free radio frequency bands. This connection type is ideal for areas where installing cable is difficult or cost prohibitive. And once the system is integrated and configured, you will be networked at T-1 speeds, but not paying for expensive. Wireless bridges are an exciting alternative, that is easy to install and affordable to operate.

Wireless
The Features

There are many reasons to use wireless. The system can operate up to 4.5 Mbps, which is three times greater than the standard 1.5Mbps connection rate offered by a T1, and without the expense of terminal equipment. With wireless you will only pay for the bandwidth you use. Wireless is an exciting alternative, that is easy to install and affordable to operate. Our customers simply plug their wireless into a hub or 10baseT connection; the unit provides all intelligent bridging functionality. And with incredibly fast point-to-multipoint capability, inherent built-in security, no radio licensing requirements, and the wireless Ethernet bridge is a solid alternative to traditional wired solutions.

Industries and corporations are using this wireless solution to bridge LAN networks between main offices and remote sites, while educational facilities are using it for bridging dispersed schools, sports facilities, and departments together.
