Preface
Package Contents
The ECWO5210-L is a rugged multi-mode,
high-end dual radio 802.11 b/g/n + ac MIMO Access
Point (AP), specifically designed for building
municipal or campus wide wireless networks in
harsh outdoor environments. There are two system
modes that can be used for dual purposes. It can be
deployed as a traditional multi-wireless Access
Point (AP) or a Relay. The ECWO5210-L access
points make wireless communication fast, secure
and easy.
