Introduction
PheeNet WAP-654GP covers a large operating distance, providing a 802.11b/g High Power
WLAN which enables users to access the Internet or an organization’s network.
At up to five times the speed of previous wireless devices, you can work faster and more
efficiently, increasing productivity. With the PheeNet WAP-654GP, bandwidth-intensive
applications like graphics or multimedia will benefit significantly because large files are able
to move across the network quickly.
PheeNet WAP-654GP is suitable for manufacturing plants, industrial sites, military bases,
universities, hotels, airports and golf courses.
PheeNet WAP-654GP simultaneous AP and Bridge operations for backhaul applications.
Configurable in four different modes (access point, bridge, multi-point bridge, and wireless
client), PheeNet WAP-654GP offers 128-bit encryption, WPA and 802.1X authentication when
used with a RADIUS server, MAC address access control, and additional security features.
PheeNet WAP-654GP are based on industry standards to provide easy-to-use and compatible
high-speed wireless connectivity within your home, business or public access wireless
networks. PheeNet WAP-654GP wireless products will allow you to access the data you want,
when and where you want it. You will be able to enjoy the freedom that wireless networking
brings.A Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) is a computer network that transmits and
receives data with radio signals instead of wires. WLANs are used increasingly in both home
and office environments, and public areas such as airports, coffee shops and universities.
Innovative ways to utilize WLAN technology are helping people to work and communicate
more efficiently. Increased mobility and the absence of cabling and other fixed infrastructure
have proven to be beneficial for many users. Wireless users can use the same applications
they use on a wired network. Wireless adapter cards used on laptop and desktop systems

support the same protocols as Ethernet adapter cards. People use WLAN technology for many
different purposes:
Mobility - Productivity increases when people have access to data in any location within the
operating range of the WLAN. Management decisions based on real-time information can
significantly improve worker efficiency.
Low Implementation Costs - WLANs are easy to set up, manage, change and relocate.
Networks that frequently change can benefit from WLANs ease of implementation. WLANs
can operate in locations where installation of wiring may be impractical.
Installation and Network Expansion - Installing a WLAN system can be fast and easy and
can eliminate the need to pull cable through walls and ceilings. Wireless technology allows
the network to go where wires cannot go - even outside the home or office.
Inexpensive Solution - Wireless network devices are as competitively priced as conventional
Ethernet network devices. We can save money by providing multi-functionality, configurable
in one of three different modes.
Scalability - WLANs can be configured in a variety of ways to meet the needs of specific
applications and installations. Configurations are easily changed and range from Peer-to-Peer
networks suitable for a small number of users to larger Infrastructure networks to
accommodate hundreds or thousands of users, depending on the number of wireless devices
deployed.
PheeNet WAP-654GP Wireless Access Point utilizes the , 802.11b and the 802.11g standards.
The IEEE 802.11g standard is an extension of the 802.11b standard. It increases the
maximum wireless signal rate of up to 54Mbps within the 2.4GHz band, utilizing OFDM
technology. This means that in most environments, within the specified range of this device,
you will be able to transfer large files quickly or even watch a movie in MPEG format over
your network without noticeable delays. This technology works by transmitting high-speed
digital data over a radio wave utilizing OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing)
http://www.gblmedia.com

7
technology. OFDM works by splitting the radio signal into multiple smaller sub-signals that
are then transmitted simultaneously at different frequencies to the receiver. OFDM reduces
the amount of crosstalk (interference) in signal transmissions. The PheeNet WAP-654GP will
automatically sense the best possible connection speed to ensure the greatest speed and range
possible. PheeNet WAP-654GP offers the most advanced network security features available
today, including WPA and WPA2. In addition to its compatibility with 802.11g devices,
PheeNet WAP-654GP is compatible with 802.11b devices. This means that if you have an
existing 802.11b network, or a network with a mixture of 802.11g, and 802.11b, the devices
in that network will be compatible with the PheeNet WAP-654GP.
802.1x: Authentication which is a first line of defense against intrusion. In the authentication
process, the Authentication Server verifies the identity of the client attempting to connect to
the network. Unfamiliar clients would be denied access.
Features
1. 4 Operation Modes : AP, Client, WDS, AP+WDS
2. Support AP/Bridge Mode simultaneously
3. Fully Backwards Compatible with all 802.11b Wireless Network
4. 54Mbps, Up to 5X Faster than 802.11b Products
5. Support 200mW High Power
6. Support Power Over Ethernet (WAP-654GP)
7. Wireless Distribution System(WDS) when running in Repeater mode
8. Maxmum Wireless Security with 802.1x, WPA, and AES
