4ipnet EAP300 is a high-end 802.11n/a/b/g
dual-band MIMO Access Point (AP) with the best
price/ performance for business and industrial
applications and is compliant with the latest
industrial wireless security standards that are

communication fast, secure and easy. It supports
business grade security such as 802.1X, and Wi-Fi
Protected Access (WPA and WPA2). By pushing a
purposely built button, the 4ipnet WES feature
makes it easy to bridge wireless links of multiple
EAP300s for forming wider wireless network
coverage. EAP300 also features multiple ESSIDs
with VLAN tags; one EAP300 can emulate up to
eight Virtual APs, great for enterprise applications,
such as separating the traffics of different
departments using different ESSIDs. The PoE LAN
port can receive power from Power over Ethernet
(PoE) device. Its metal case is IP50 anti-dust
compliant, which means that EAP300 is well suited
to WLAN deployment in industrial environments.
