Preface
Package Contents
The 802.11 n/a/b/g compliant OWL530 is an
OutdoorAP/Bridge/CPE device that can be used for
multiple purposes. It can be deployed as a
traditional fixed wireless Access Point (AP) or it can
be used as a Customer Premises Equipment (CPE)
that connects to the outdoor wireless network of
Wireless Internet Service Provider (WISP).
Capsulated in weather-proof IP68 metal chassis
and powered by 802.3af/at PoE, OWL530 comes in
a small footprint for pole-/wall-mount unit that meets
most rough outdoor environment for continuously
providing outdoor clients’accesses or wireless
bridge to a peer node or surveillance device via 11n
wireless connection.
When OWL530 operates in CPE mode, it acts as a
wireless modem, connecting wirelessly to the
Internet upstream while serving broadband
connection to client devices downstream. This
mode is ideal in many WISP solutions, where
last-mile connectivity often involves serving
high-speed Internet to locations where physical
cabling is impossible.
