EASY INSTALLATION WITH POWER OVER ETHERNET
By combining your power and data connections into a single cable, PoE simplifies the setup
of the Hi-Gain Outdoor Multifunction Access Point. The included Power over Ethernet DC
Injector provides power and network access (through your home or business router or
network connection) and combines them into a single RJ-45 connection for the HOWABN1.
This allows you to install the HOWABN1 outdoor in hard to reach locations without worrying
about running both power and Ethernet cables.
