1 Introduction



EOC2611PisalongrangeoutdoorwirelessAccessPoint/ClientBridgethatoperatesseamlesslyinthe

2.4GHz frequency spectrum and provides high bandwidth up to 108Mbps with Super G. With dual

polarization antenna, it features high transmitted output power and high receivable sensitivity. High

output power and high sensitivity can

 extend range and cover age to reduce the roaming between

AccessPointstogetamorestablewirelessconnection.Italsoreducestheexpenseofequipmentinthe

sameenvironment.WithIPx4protection,itcanprovideeffectiveinkeepingoutwater.



It supportsdistance con tr ol by 1km to 30km and RSSI

indicator which enables the besttransmitand

receivesignalsfortrafficcommunication.ThisproductcomeswithPoEinjectorforbuildinginoutdoor

environmenteasily.



To protect your wireless connectivity, it can encrypt all wireless transmissions through 64/128 /152‐bit

WEP data encryption and also supports WPA/WPA2. The MAC address filter lets

you select exactly

whichstationsshouldhaveaccesstoyournetwork.Inaddition,theUserIsolationfunctioncanprotect

theprivatenetworkbetweenclientusers.



The attractive design, high performance, and array of features make EOC2611P a suitable wireless

themanyapplicationsmadepossiblethroughthepowerandflexibilityofwirelessLANs:



a) Difficult‐to‐wireenvironments

There are many situations where wires cannot be laid easily. Historic buildings, older

buildings, open

 areas and across busy streets make the installation of LANs either

impossibleorveryexpensive.

b) Temporaryworkgroups

Consider situations in parks, athletic arenas, exhibition centers, disaster‐recovery,

temporary offices and construction sites where one wants a temporary WLAN

establishedandremoved.

c) Theabilitytoaccessreal‐timeinformation

Doctors/nurses, point‐of‐sale employees, and warehouse workers can access real‐time

informationwhiledealingwithpatients,servingcustomersandprocessinginformation.

d) Frequentlychangingenvironments

Show rooms, meeting rooms, retail stores, and manufacturing sites where frequently

rearrangetheworkplace.

e) WirelessextensionstoEthernetnetworks

Network managers in dynamic environments

 can minimize the overhead caused by

moves,extensionstonetworks,andotherchangeswithwirelessLANs.

f) WiredLANbackup

Network managers implement wireless LANs to provide backup for mission‐critical

applicationsrunningonwirednetworks.

g) Training/Educationalfacilities

Training sites at corporations and students at universities use wireless connectivity

to

easeaccesstoinformation,informationexchanges,andlearning.
