WA6202A/WA6202AM Functions
Enterprise Inter-building Solution Point to point wireless link Building to building connectivity, Bridging and Backhauling Cost effective and efficient (no cabling or leased line needed, easy to deploy) Environment: There are around 300+ install in the university (in different building). APs are 20m - 30 m apart from each other. Manual channels set ((1 3 5 7 9 11) or (1 4 7 11)) SSID: Default Powered through POE switch
Enterprise Campus Connectivity Point to Multipoint links extend the main network to remote branch offices, warehouses or other exterior buildings without leased lines
Metropolitan Area network Back-haul alternative for hotspots, hot zones and community network
Last Mile Access Last Mile Access Competitive broadband service alternative to DSL or cable modems for business and residences Broadband service for rural area where there is no DSL
WA6202A/WA6202AM features
Basic Wireless Features Benefits 802.11a + b/g Dual band provides flexibility, increase in clients (128 per interface or 64 per VAP) and works with other vendors Detachable antennas Provides antenna selection to shape coverage area Atheros AR5312 220 MHz CPU Atheros AR2112 and AR5112 For 2.4GHz and 5 GHz bands 8MB Flash Rom 32MB SDRAM 1 x RJ-45 port 10/100 port supports PoE Console port for direct connection for CLI configuration of AP/ also used in initial configurations Super A/G Allows data rates up to 40-60 Mbps Turbo A/G Allows data rates up to 108 Mbps Auto Channel Selection Simplifies deployment by picking the best channel on signal to noise ratio PoE Simplifies deployment and installation costs WDS (Wireless Distribution system) Includes several modes (AP, Bridging and Repeater) and can extend networks without wires IEEE 802.11f IAPP Rapid Hand off for Roaming Clients Multiple SSID (VAP) Virtual APs/multiple SSIDs segregate traffic allowing different access control, security and QoS International Country Configuration By selecting the country, operations will auto match to regulations
