This Wireless Ethernet Bridge will provide a low latency wireless connection, that will provide a seamless, transparent connection between your two locations.  Low latency is required when VoIP or Video is being streamed across the wireless link.  This Wireless Backhaul operates at 54Mbps aggregated throughput, with a usable throughput of about 25-29Mbps. 

For a low latency connection, total packet delivery time needs to be 100ms or less.  For voice applications, low jitter is also important.  Jitter is the variation in latency, or the difference between the fastest and slowest packet response times.  This wireless Ethernet backhaul, will have both qualities, and assuming your locations have LOS, can connect your two points up to 4 miles apart.  Contact us for more information.

The Outdoor Access Points included in this package, have 19db Integrated Antennas built in.  No additional antennas are required, as everything is enclosed in a single, outdoor enclosure.  The AP can be mounted outdoors, and can be powered through the integrated Power-over-Ethernet adapter that comes with the unit.  This means that this access point can be placed up to 300ft. away from your network connection, with a single cat5 cable connecting to it. 

This makes your network Installation easier to install and maintain. Each Access Point will be configured as a Bridge, and will only communicate with each other.  This means a safer, and more secure network connection for your LAN.

Log into the outdoor unit via a web browser to view the web configuration, configure the settings to best suit your network, and your ready for installation.  Simply mount the enclosure outside in the direction of your remote location, connect the cat5 network cable to your LAN, and you're ready for connectivity.  MAC Filtering, AES Encryption, and Point to Point mode are all included in the configuration for seamless and secure connectivity.

Please note that this Wireless Bridge requires your two locations to have Line of Sight.  For more information, or to discuss your particular situation, please contact us anytime.  To see other Wireless Bridge packages that do not require Line of Sight, Click Here.

VLAN Trunking:  Typically a switch uses port based VLANs.  This means that whatever is plugged in to Port X, belongs to whatever Port X is in.  Each frame is tagged with a VLAN tag in the layer 2 header when entering a VLAN switch port.  These frames run across trunk links between two switches and between a switch and a router.  The tag is stripped down when the frame is sent from the outgoing switch port to the end device.  Remember that the native VLAN frames (by default VLAN 1 in Cisco and many other devices) are NOT tagged.

When you use a radio link, or wireless bridge on a VLAN trunk, there are some things to remember:

• You must use a transparent bridge or the trunk will be unable to form.  Remember, L2.5 bridging rewrites the layer 2 header.  (This bridge operates as a transparent bridge, when in bridge mode)

• The radios included in this wireless bridge (and many other wireless devices) are not switches and are not VLAN aware.  Therefore, tagged frames in the trunk will be ignored by the devices.

• The VLAN tag is 4 bytes long.  This means that the maximum Ethernet frame size goes from 1518 bytes to 1522 bytes.  Any devices on the trunk link needs to be able to pass these frames.  This Wireless Bridge, with up to date firmware can pass VLAN tagged frames.

Features at a glance:

• Dual Ethernet Ports:  This will allow you to daisy chain radios at your installation sites.  This can benefit you as an installer, as the dual Ethernet ports will allow you to plug in PoE devices such as network cameras or other Outdoor Access Points.

• More Robost Routing Features:  Includes Tunneling Protocol Support, which will allow you to pass through VPN clients, as well as use tunneling protocols such as VPN, PPTP, RSA and others.

• All New Access Point Features:  WDS will allow this Outdoor Access Point to be wirelessly connected to other Access Points, while still servicing clients.  (Wireless Distribution System)

• Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA):  Wireless Protected Access improves on the security features of WEP.  It includes improved data encryption and user authentication.

• All New Client Adapter Features:  With this Outdoor Access Point, you will be able to align your client and point-to-point installations without having to log into the radio.  You will get visual signal strength at a glance by using this great new feature, using the alignment LED's located on the back of the Access Point.

• Controllable High Gain Output:  Both radios have 26dBm maximum output.  This works great for long distance Point-to-Point applications, as well as Client applications.  Power can be scaled back for closer installations to avoid noise issues and to meet local regulatory requirements.

• Wireless Security:  WEP, WPA wireless security is included in this wireless backhaul.  This will encrypt the data being sent between the connection.  Also included in this wireless backhaul is AES encryption, which is a higher level security feature then standard WEP/WPA.  The two radios can also be configured in PXP mode, which enables only the two outdoor access points to communicate with each other, avoiding any other access to the network.  The wireless bridge operates seamlessly as a Wireless Bridge between your two locations.

• Wireless Interference:  This wireless Ethernet Bridge is operating at 2.4GHz.  This means that if you have a high number of 802.11b/g nodes around your two locations, it is possible that you will experience interference.  This can result in poor point to point wireless performance, dropped packets, slow connection, and high latency.  To avoid the Interference of other 802.11b/g radios, move to a 802.11a, 5GHz point to point wireless bridge.  Click here for an 802.11a wireless bridge.
