Wireless
networking
enters a
new sphere
BreezeNET®PRO.11
The standard in enterprise
wireless networks.
All of a sudden, wireless networking enters a new
sphere. Standards based. Powerful. Easy to
install. Now you can quickly connect anywhere as
your network requirements change, as you open
new locations, when you need temporary network
access, and as your mobile users increase.
Since the BreezeNET PRO.11 family adheres to
the IEEE 802.11 standard, it works seamlessly
with other 802.11 wireless LAN products and its
open architecture supports any standard
computer platform from PCs to Macs to Unix
workstations and pen tablets — or any other
device with an Ethernet connection. With
BreezeNET PRO.11 you finally realize all of the
benefits of flexible, plug-and-play network
connections that maintain mobility and
accommodate temporary, ad-hoc, building-to-
building, in-building and Internet connections.
Applications unlimited
Who needs BreezeNET PRO.11? Typical
users include offices, manufacturing
and warehouse facilities, hospitals,
schools, construction sites, temporary
venues, malls, airports, and remote
offices. In fact, BreezeNET PRO.11 is so
versatile, you can let your imagination
fly because the old limits of wired
networking just don’t apply.
Installing BreezeNET PRO.11 is smooth sailing.
Network managers can quickly and easily add it
to existing networks. It provides a familiar
software environment, just like your wired LAN.
You’ll be up and running in a fraction of the time
it takes to cable and install traditional wired
Ethernet networks.
Performance and
reliability to the max
BreezeNET PRO.11 products are designed from
the start for maximum performance and
reliability. Operating in the 2.4 GHz unlicensed
ISM band, BreezeNET PRO.11 client adapters
and access points are up to three times faster
than other wireless network devices. They offer a
data rate of up to 3 megabits per second, a range
of up to eight miles outdoors, 600-ft. indoors and
roaming speeds up to 60 mph.
All BreezeNET PRO.11 products are built around
BreezeCOM’s advanced component technology,
including modems implemented using Digital
Signal Processing technology. Two distinct
product categories are available: Models with
built-in diversity antennas for in-building use and
models with external antenna connectors for
building-to-building installations. All are software
upgradeable to the latest standards, so your
BreezeNET wireless network can grow and
change as your needs grow and change.

In-Building Products
Clients can be using:
SC-PCR PRO.11 PC Card
SA-10 PRO.11 single-port station adapter
SA-40 PRO.11 four-port station adapter
In-building BreezeNET PRO.11 products have a built-in diversity antenna
system that assures maximum wireless coverage throughout a building or
other facility — large or small. BreezeNET is ideal for traditional mobile
networks, such as hospital patient care systems, warehouse/inventory
tracking systems, point-of-sale networks, and client conference rooms used
by legal and financial planning professionals.
AP-10 PRO.11 Access Point
Used to extend your wired enterprise network,
or alone as a totally wireless network. The
AP-10 PRO.11 connects directly to your
10Base-T Ethernet backbone via an RJ-45
connector, transmitting network information
from your wired LAN and server resources to
BreezeNET wireless clients who can be
stationary or mobile.

The AP-10 Access
Point is the “hub” of
the wireless system.
The AP-10 PRO.11 is designed as a true low-profile network infrastructure
product, much like a wired hub or switch. In contrast, competitive products
take an ISA or PCMCIA adapter and insert it into a bridge chassis. This
creates 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 rate
of up to 3 Mbps and a transmission range up to 3,000 ft. in open space, or
600 ft. in an office, it can provide an aggregate backbone data rate up to 15
Mbps 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 up
to 15 access point coverage areas or “cells.” This capability is especially
valuable in high traffic in-building applications where multiple client
devices are transmitting and receiving in a common area. WIX manages the
multi-cell environment by balancing the load between access points,
off-loading traffic to each of these as necessary. Additionally, overlapping
coverage using multiple access points increases aggregate throughput.
SA-PCR PRO.11 PC Card
It’s nothing less than the first truly innovative
wireless PC Card. At a data rate up to 3 megabits per
second and an indoor range up to 600 ft., it’s also the best
performing IEEE 802.11-compliant card available anywhere. With its
retractable, extremely flexible, titanium wire antennas, the SA-PCR PRO.11
is the low profile PC Card mobile client
device users are waiting for. The SA-PCR
supports all popular operating systems,
including Microsoft Windows®95,
Windows NT™, Windows 3.11, Windows
CE, DOS, and Novell NetWare.
SA-10 PRO.11 Single-Port Station Adapter
Single-port, universal client adapter with built-in
diversity antenna system, connects to any RJ-45
10BASE-T Ethernet port, providing a true plug-
and-play wireless solution for PCs, Macs, Unix
workstations, hand-held data input units, printers
and most other computing and peripheral devices
without the need to install additional drivers or
configure hardware interrupts.
SA-40 PRO.11 4-Port
Station Adapter
A cost-effective, convenient 4-port wireless “mini-hub”
version of the SA-10 PRO.11 connects up to four
Ethernet clients to your wireless network.
WB-10 PRO.11 Workgroup Bridge
Connects a remote Ethernet network, wired or
wireless, to an AP-10 PRO.11 Access Point. It can
handle up to 256 hardware addresses and
includes cache RAM to handle high volume
network traffic. Diversity antenna system is built-in.

Building-to-Building Products
The BreezeNET PRO.11 “D” Model Bridge with detachable diversity antenna
system provides wireless links between networks or devices up to eight
miles apart. Coupled with a complete family of omni- and uni-directional
high-gain antennas, network managers can set up connections between
remote network sites outdoors and indoors in large open areas, including
headquarters, remote buildings, convention halls, hangars, and warehouses.
With a data rate up to 3 megabits per second, the D Model provides a
reliable frequency hopping, spread spectrum connection that does not
sacrifice performance. It is also extremely cost-effective, especially
compared with cost of leased lines and underground cabling.
Typical D Model applications include ISP Internet connections to
customer sites, network connections between schools and remote
classrooms, and quick deployment of networks for special events.
All D Models come with mounting bracket and power supply.
AP-10D PRO.11
Base Station
Bridge
Based on the AP-10
PRO.11 in-building
Access 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 Card
with Detached Antenna System
The SA-PCD PRO.11 allows laptops and other specialized computing devices
to be connected to the network using high gain, detachable antennas. Typical
applications include vehicular networks such as fleets and automated cranes,
robot control systems with built in PCMCIA slots, and outdoor networks
which use laptops and may require longer transmission ranges.
SA-10D PRO.11 Single Station Bridge
Connects a single Ethernet device back to the AP-10D PRO.11 Base Station
Bridge. It handles a single hardware address and can connect a single Unix
workstation, PC, Mac, or peripheral.
SA-40D PRO.11 Four Station Bridge
Connects four Ethernet devices back to the AP-10D PRO.11 Base Station
Bridge. It handles up to four hardware addresses and can connect up to
four workstations or peripherals.
WB-10D PRO.11 Workgroup Bridge
Connects a remote Ethernet network to an AP-10D multipoint base station
site or to another point-to-point remote site. It handles up to 256 hardware
addresses and includes cache RAM to handle high volume network traffic.
