BreezeNET is ideal for traditional mobilenetworks, such as hospital patient care systems, warehouse/inventorytracking systems, point-of-sale networks, and client conference rooms usedby legal and financial planning professionals.AP-10 PRO.11 Access PointUsed to extend your wired enterprise network,or alone as a totally wireless network. The AP-10 PRO.11 connects directly to your10Base-T Ethernet backbone via an RJ-45connector, transmitting network informationfrom your wired LAN and server resources toBreezeNET wireless clients who can bestationary or mobile. ServerPrinterAP-10SA-10SA-10SA-10SA-PCRSA-PCRThe AP-10 AccessPoint is the “hub” ofthe wireless system.
The AP-10 PRO.11 is designed as a true low-profile network infrastructureproduct, much like a wired hub or switch. In contrast, competitive productstake an ISA or PCMCIA adapter and insert it into a bridge chassis. Thiscreates a wireless backbone “kludge” that can impact network performance and reliability.The AP-10’s top-down design results in an access point that’s easy to install,configure and manage, and delivers maximum throughput. With a data rateof up to 3 Mbps and a transmission range up to 3,000 ft. in open space, or600 ft. in an office, it can provide an aggregate backbone data rate up to 15Mbps using a multicell configuration.WIX™A proprietary algorithm, WIX manages the AP-10 PRO.11 in “multicell”environments. WIX lets you increase aggregate backbone by overlapping upto 15 access point coverage areas or “cells.” This capability is especiallyvaluable in high traffic in-building applications where multiple clientdevices are transmitting and receiving in a common area. WIX manages themulti-cell environment by balancing the load between access points, off-loading traffic to each of these as necessary. Additionally, overlappingcoverage using multiple access points increases aggregate throughput.SA-PCR PRO.11 PC CardIt’s nothing less than the first truly innovativewireless PC Card. At a data rate up to 3 megabits persecond and an indoor range up to 600 ft., it’s also the bestperforming IEEE 802.11-compliant card available anywhere. With itsretractable, extremely flexible, titanium wire antennas, the SA-PCR PRO.11is the low profile PC Card mobile clientdevice users are waiting for. The SA-PCRsupports all popular operating systems,including Microsoft Windows®95,Windows NT™, Windows 3.11, WindowsCE, DOS, and Novell NetWare.SA-10 PRO.11 Single-Port Station AdapterSingle-port, universal client adapter with built-indiversity antenna system, connects to any RJ-4510BASE-T Ethernet port, providing a true plug-and-play wireless solution for PCs, Macs, Unixworkstations, hand-held data input units, printersand most other computing and peripheral deviceswithout the need to install additional drivers orconfigure hardware interrupts. SA-40 PRO.11 4-Port Station AdapterA cost-effective, convenient 4-port wireless “mini-hub”version of the SA-10 PRO.11 connects up to fourEthernet clients to your wireless network.WB-10 PRO.11 Workgroup BridgeConnects a remote Ethernet network, wired orwireless, to an AP-10 PRO.11 Access Point. It canhandle up to 256 hardware addresses andincludes cache RAM to handle high volumenetwork traffic.

Coupled with a complete family of omni- and uni-directionalhigh-gain antennas, network managers can set up connections betweenremote network sites outdoors and indoors in large open areas, includingheadquarters, remote buildings, convention halls, hangars, and warehouses.With a data rate up to 3 megabits per second, the D Model provides areliable frequency hopping, spread spectrum connection that does notsacrifice performance. It is also extremely cost-effective, especiallycompared with cost of leased lines and underground cabling.Typical D Model applications include ISP Internet connections tocustomer sites, network connections between schools and remoteclassrooms, and quick deployment of networks for special events. All D Models come with mounting bracket and power supply.AP-10D PRO.11Base StationBridgeBased on the AP-10PRO.11 in-buildingAccess Point, the AP-10D PRO.11 is the central unit for creating a point-to-point, or multi-point link using D Model bridges. SA-PCD PRO.11 PC Cardwith Detached Antenna SystemThe SA-PCD PRO.11 allows laptops and other specialized computing devicesto be connected to the network using high gain, detachable antennas. Typicalapplications include vehicular networks such as fleets and automated cranes,robot control systems with built in PCMCIA slots, and outdoor networkswhich use laptops and may require longer transmission ranges.SA-10D PRO.11 Single Station BridgeConnects a single Ethernet device back to the AP-10D PRO.11 Base StationBridge. It handles a single hardware address and can connect a single Unixworkstation, PC, Mac, or peripheral.SA-40D PRO.11 Four Station BridgeConnects four Ethernet devices back to the AP-10D PRO.11 Base StationBridge. It handles up to four hardware addresses and can connect up tofour workstations or peripherals.WB-10D PRO.11 Workgroup BridgeConnects a remote Ethernet network to an AP-10D multipoint base stationsite or to another point-to-point remote site.
