Introduction
The EnStation6/ENH500-AX is a high-powered, ultra
long-range 2x2 Wireless 802.11ax/ac/a/n Outdoor
Access Point with speeds up to 1184 Mbps on both its high-
powered 5 GHz radios. It can be configured as an:
Access Point, Client Bridge or WDS (AP, Station & Bridge) .
The EnStation6/ENH500-AX is designed to operate in a
variety of outdoor environments. Its high- powered, long-
range characteristics make it a cost effective alternative to
ordinary Access Points that don’t have the range and
reach to connect to a growing number of wireless CPEs who
wish to connect to a business network. The
EnStation6/ENH500-AX supports the 5 GHz frequency
band for communicating to other 5GHz frequency bands
Access Points concurrently. Several EnStation6/ENH500-
AX can be networked in a campus setting using the 5
GHz band between countries, which is easy to be installed
in virtually any location with its included PoE (Power over
Ethernet) Adapter for quick outdoor installation. It also
supports wireless encryption including Wi-Fi Protected
Access (WPA2-PSK) Encryption and IEEE 802.1AX with
RADIUS.)
