1 Product Overview
Thank you for using EOA7530. EOA7530 is a dual core wireless outdoor Access Point Client Bridge. It
is a powerful, enhanced, enterprise scale product with 3 multi-functions Access Point, Client Bridge,
and Client Router in both 2.4G and 5G operation mode. EOA7530 can help with reducing costs with
wired internet intranet and even constructing wireless environment.
EOA7530 is easily to install almost anywhere by wall mount. It supports Power over Ethernet for
quick outdoor installation. External N-type antenna provides better wireless signal quality and the
antenna is upgradeable.
EOA7530 can manage power level control, Wireless Access Control, WMM and Real-time RSSI
indicator. EOA7530 is fully support of security encryption including Wi-Fi Protected Access
(WPA-PSK WPA2-PSK), 64 128 152-bit WEP Encryption and IEEE 802.1x Radius encryption.
1 1 Benefits
The following list describes the design of the EOA7530 made possible through the power and
flexibility of wireless LANs:
a) Difficult-to-wire environments
There are many situations where wires cannot be laid easily. Historic buildings, older
buildings, open areas and across busy streets make the installation of LANs either
impossible or very expensive.
b) Temporary workgroups
Consider situations in parks, athletic arenas, exhibition centers, disaster-recovery,
temporary offices and construction sites where one wants a temporary WLAN established
and removed.
c) The ability to access real-time information
Doctors nurses, point-of-sale employees, and warehouse workers can access real-time
information while dealing with patients, serving customers and processing information.
d) Frequently changed environments
Show rooms, meeting rooms, retail stores, and manufacturing sites where frequently
rearrange the workplace.
e) Wireless extensions to Ethernet networks

Network managers in dynamic environments can minimize the overhead caused by moves,
extensions to networks, and other changes with wireless LANs.
f) Wired LAN backup
Network managers implement wireless LANs to provide backup for mission-critical
applications running on wired networks.
g) Training/Educational facilities
Training sites at corporations and students at universities use wireless connectivity to ease
access to information, information exchanges, and learning.
