802.11A, 5.7 – 5.8GHz, 108Mbps Point to Point Wireless Bridge, 16dBi Patch Antennas, 23dBm TX/RX Power, WPA/WPA2 security, PS included, – Pre-Configured – 1/2 Mile Complete Link

Description

What’s included in this High Speed Wireless Ethernet Point to Point Bridge Kit (complete link):

This Point to Point Wireless Bridge includes a pair of indoor access points, 25ft. LMR-400 coaxial cables, inline lightning arrestors and outdoor 16dBi directional patch antennas. This means that only a single, small antenna is required on the outside of each location. Once the AP’s are installed at each location, the Wireless Bridge operates as a transparent bridge, and will pass all network traffic between your two locations.

The High Speed Wireless Ethernet Point to Point Bridge Kit operates similar to an invisible Ethernet cable connecting your two locations. Each antenna has a beam width of about 20°, so aligning the antennas is easy. Furthermore, you will have the ability to view real time signal strength, link quality, and noise level, using the web based configuration. Each AP has a static IP address, used strictly for web based configuration, and troubleshooting.

Connection to Network:

To connect the access point to your network at each location, a single Cat5 Ethernet cable is used.  A 5ft. cable is included for each location.  (If you need more cable, a maximum length of up to 300ft. can be used)  The Cat5 Ethernet cable connects directly from the indoor access point to your network (Router/PC/Switch etc.)

At the MAIN location, you will typically connect to an open LAN port on the back of your existing router, or switch.  At the REMOTE location, you can connect either directly to a PC if you only have a single computer, or you can connect to an indoor wired/wireless router.  This will allow you to run multiple computers over the wireless bridge. 

Maximum Range & Interference:

With clear, un-obstructed line of sight between your two locations, a maximum range of 1/2 mile can be achieved using this link. 

Each access point has a 18dBm maximum output power.  This works great for short range Point-to-Point applications, as well as Client applications.  Inline amplifiers can be installed for long range installations and to avoid noise issues and to meet local regulatory requirements.

For applications that require transfer of very large files, video transmission, or large amounts VoIP (Voice over IP) traffic, it is recommended that you choose a FULL DUPLEX, 5GHz Point to Point link, which will not only avoid all 2.4GHz interference, but offer much faster throughput, and lower jitter rates.  A full duplex, High Speed Wireless Ethernet Point to Point Bridge Kit will also offer lower latency, which increases performance.

Security Features:

This Wireless Point to Point bridge operates as a transparent bridge.  It is similar to an invisible Ethernet cable connecting your two locations.  It includes multiple security options including WEP/WPA/WPA2.  It also has ability to enable MAC address authentication so that only the two access points are able communicate.  You can hide the network SSID, and because the beam width of the antennas is directional, (about 20°) the signal is not being broadcasted in all directions, only in the direction you aim the outdoor antenna.

If you have any other questions, please contact our Pre-Sales/Technical Support Dept. at (516) 214-0321.

If you are connecting two locations, and desire the 108Mbps transfer rate, place the first Access Point in

“AP mode”, and the second Access Point in “Client Mode”.    When set to Super G Static Mode, these AP’s will allow bursting of packets which increase the transmission and speed over the High Speed Wireless Ethernet Point to Point Bridge Kit.  Contact us for more information.
