Chapter 2: Overview
2. Overview
2.1 Introduction
Designed for outdoor environment applications, the Wireless P-T-P Ethernet Extender is a high-performance last-mile broadband
solution that provides reliable wireless network coverage. As an IEEE 802.11b/g compliant wireless device, the Wireless P-T-P
Ethernet Extender is able to provide stable and efficient wireless performance. The extender delivers a much faster data rate than
normal wireless devices and higher bandwidth with longer range for outdoor applications.
The Wireless P-T-P Ethernet Extender supports four wireless communication connectivity device types (AP, Wireless Client, Bridge
and AP Repeater), allowing for various application requirements.
High output power and reliable performance make the Wireless P-T-P Ethernet Extender an ideal wireless broadband solution for
wireless Internet service providers and system integrators.
