WaveLAN® Access Point provides an instant option to wired LAN Connectivity

The WavePOINT® bridge is a WaveLAN access point into a wired/wireless network. With this bridge, WaveLAN workstations can be added quickly and easily to a wired/wireless network.

This combination enables instant LAN connectivity for users such as retail stores, financial institutions, warehouses, and hospitals where wiring is costly, difficult to install, and lacking flexibility. By installing a WavePOINT-based infrastructure, access to information can easily be extended to mobile users.

This techonology is not limited to within a building. Can you think of a co-workers you would like to have on your LAN, but until now it was too costly to do so? Whether they are next door, down the block, or across the city, WaveLAN may be the affordable solution you have been looking for!

The WavePOINT bridge is a small compact unit and can be installed conveniently on a desktop, ceiling, wall, or in a wiring closet.

WaveAROUND® Roaming Software

The key to building-wide computing is roaming -- the ability to move from wireless cell to wireless cell while maintaining network connectivity. Utilizing WaveAROUND software and WaveMONITOR® software (included with WaveLAN products) make this a reality.

Features

• MAC layer transparent bridge (IEEE 802.1D)
  • Filtering/forwarding
  • Automatic learning
• Interoperable with the entire WaveLAN product family
• Integrated WaveAROUND roaming functionality
• SNMP management
• Integrated and self contained
• Radio path diagnostics
• Access control
• Multicast delay
• Secure communications through DES or AES encryption.
• Ability to select/change frequency channels to allow for optimal management of on premises radio frequency devices (2.4 GHz version only)
• Site survey tools

Advantages

• Flexible extension of wired network
• No waiting for cabling
• cost effective, compact, and reliable
• Quick and simple installation
• Network operating system independent

Typical Applications

Building to Building Connectivity:

LANs in numerous locations can be connected without needless expenses and delays often associated with a Telco. solution.

Pre-installed, ready-to-use LANs:

LANs can be staged at a central location and quickly rolled out over numerous locations.

Access to information for mobile computer users:

Nurses, retailers, office workers need access to information, while being mobile in the hospital, retail store or office campus.

Difficult wiring environments:

Historic buildings, asbestos installations, and open areas are all environments where wiring is difficult and expensive, if not impossible to install.

Frequently changing environments:

retailers, manufacturers, and banks frequently re-arrange the workspace or change locations. This can be done quickly without additional costs.

Temporary LANs for special projects or peak times:

Retailers, airlines, and shipping companies need additional workstations for peak periods.
Auditors requiring workgroups at customer sites. Exhibitions and trade shows requiring temporary set-ups for short time periods.

Options

• DES or AES Encryption for enhanced security
