The P-380 Outdoor Access Point & Router is ideal for rough environments and outdoor applications. It can be configured as an inter-building wireless bridge or router as well as an access point for wireless clients.
Rounting
Connecting two buildings via a wireless link is the job of a wireless router. A router can connect different networks (subnets) and minimizes the data transfer over the wireless link. One P-380 can connect up to eight different networks in a point-to-multipoint configuration.
Bridging
When protocols other than TCP/IP need to be transmitted, the P-380 can be configured as a layer 2 bridge. With no license required for wireless bridges in the 2.4 GHz band, in almost every part of the world, the P-380 can be a cost effective alternative to leased-lines for line-of-sight connections.
Access Point
The P-380 can also be a Wi-Fi access point for environmentally challenged locations like industrial plants, or when an outdoor installation can better serve the application. The weatherproof housing has a NEMA classification of IP66, and incorporates a temperature control system to support operation from -20o to +65oC.
Install and forget
A bright LED display of signal strength enables simple installation optimization. A Power over Ethernet client, the P-380 is supplied data and power over one cable, allowing remote power resets, thereby eliminating the need for any on-site-maintenance.
Long range
The P-380 can be ordered with an integrated high-gain antenna (P-380A), or with a connector (reverse N) for an external antenna (P-380N). With the integrated 10dBi directional antenna (40o beam width) two P-380A routers can connect at a distance of up to five kilometers.
Remote Management
The P-380 supports many different network management interfaces, such as SNMP, Telenet or HTTPS. It has an integrated site survey feature, provides performance measurement data and firmware upgrades can be done remotely. |
