900MHz Long Range Wireless Ethernet Bridge
Enabling Broadband Internet Anywhere!
The AW900i replaces costly wiring with a Wireless Ethernet Bridge that can enable remote Wi-Fi APs, Ethernet
Pan/Tilt/Zoom Security cameras, VoIP phones or Internet Kiosks. AvaLAN’s product offers the ideal
combination of price, range, data rate, security,
interference avoidance, Quality-of-Service and Ease-of-
Use.
Features:
• Does not interfere with Wi-Fi networks.
• Highest Quality of Service (QoS) available –
Synchronous point to point protocol enables
extremely low data latency and jitter.
• 128bit encrypted payload protection provides
secure data delivery.
• Simple plug and play - pre-configured as matched
pairs with no user programming required.
• Operates in the 902-928MHz band and does not
require an FCC license to operate or install.
• VLAN extensions supported.
The best solution when:
• A Broadband Ethernet drop will cost too much or is impractical to install.
• Guaranteed DSL-rate throughput is required. (Kiosks/Wi-Fi APs/PTZ Cameras)
• Guaranteed latency for voice or video is required. (VoIP/PTZ Cameras)
• Wi-Fi is too slow due to saturation or 2.4Ghz interference. (Airport/Mall/PTZ Cameras)
• An indoor long-range broadband backhaul is required.

A small airport that wants to differentiate from the larger Metro airport by advertising that it has shorter security lines
and happy travelers. This will be provided by several web-controlled Pan, Tilt, Zoom cameras on the airport’s
