OVERVIEW
The WAP-ABG2458 is a powerful answer for customers seeking a reliable high-speed
wireless connectivity solution. It is a 2.4GHz (802.11 b/g ) and 5.8GHz
(802.11a)-compliant Wireless Bridge/AP/AP Client, data delivers 1 to 54 Mbps data
rates without the need for a license.
WAP-ABG2458 can operate as a point-to-point or a point-to-multipoint bridge to link
networks in different buildings. It is particularly suited for financial banks, campus,
store merchants and small business owners to create wireless backbone networks.
System privacy is inherent through the MAC WEP based mutual authentication
functionality by preventing unauthorized intrusion to the radio link.
The WAP-ABG2458 is designed for outdoor environments. With lift-cover watertight
housing, this is a robust Bridge/AP/AP Client, and uniquely designed that Antenna to
integrate with housing. Supplying the power and Ethernet connectivity concurrently
via a single Ethernet cable, the power over Ethernet (PoE) technology makes quick
outdoor installation. WAP-ABG2458 achieves rapid Return On Investment (ROI) for
inter-building connection compared to T1 leased line with high capacity and high
data throughput.
