Introduction
Overview of the Vivato Wi-Fi Base Station
The Vivato Wi-Fi Base Station provides continuous, high-speed access between IEEE 802.11b/g wireless
clients and wired Ethernet networks. It is an advanced, standards-based solution for wireless networking in
medium to very large indoor and outdoor areas. The Vivato Wi-Fi Base Station enables zero-administration
wireless local area network (WLAN) deployment while providing state-of-the-art wireless networking
features.
The Vivato Wi-Fi Base Station provides the strongest security, ease-of-administration, and industry
standards—providing a standalone and fully-secured wireless network without the need for additional
management and security server software.
What’s Inside the Base Station?
Inside the base station is a Wi-Fi radio system and a central microprocessor that coordinates all activities.
The base station contains six wireless interfaces. Each interface supports both 802.11b and 802.11g
operation. An integral phased array antenna provides concentration and directional control of Wi-Fi
transmissions.
The base station boots from a firmware image stored in Flash ROM. The firmware provides all of the
configurable features described in this document.
As new features and enhancements become available, you can upgrade the firmware to add new functions
and performance improvements to the base stations that make up your wireless network. (See “Upgrading
the Firmware” on page 105.)
The following sections list features and benefits of the Vivato Wi-Fi Base Station, and tell you what’s next
when you’re ready to get started.
