Introduction - EWS550AP

Introduction

The EWS550AP is an enhanced-powered, long-range

wireless access point. It is designed to operate in

numerous environments; from large homes, small and

medium-sized businesses, multiple-oor ofces, hotels,

and other venues, to larger enterprise deployments.

6

The AP’s enhanced-powered, long-range characteristics

make it a cost-effective alternative to ordinary Access

Points that do not have the range and reach to connect

to a growing number of wireless users who wish to

access a large hotspot or business network.

To protect sensitive data during wireless transmissions,

the device offers different encryption settings for

wireless communications, including industry standard

WPA and WPA2 encryption. The AP also includes MAC

address ltering to allow network administrators to

provide network access only to known computers and

other devices based on their MAC addresses.
