Ethernet bridging.
• 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.
• Power over Ethernet Enabled
• VLAN extensions supported.
The best solution when:
• A Cost-effective, simple to install, Non-Line-of-Sight Wireless Broadband backhaul is required.
• Guaranteed DSL-rate throughput is required. (Wi-Fi APs/PTZ Cameras/ Kiosks)
• Guaranteed latency for voice or video is required. (VoIP/PTZ Cameras)
• Ultra low current consumption is required. (Solar powered systems)
