3Com® Wireless LAN Building-to-Building Bridge - 3CRWE91096A
3COM  3Com® Wireless LAN Building-to-Building Bridge 3CRWE91096A
The 3COM 3CRWE91096A you're interested in is a: Economical Ethernet performance and full Wi-Fi compatibility for building-to-building transmissions up to 16.9 kilometers (10 miles).
Important: The Building-to-Building
Bridge solution requires an antenna cable. For maximum efficiency, you should
use the shortest antenna cable possible between the bridge and the antenna.
Antenna cables induce signal loss, which will limit the radiated power output as
well as the range of the bridging link. Although 3Com has several cable options
available, we recommend the 3Com 6-Foot Antenna Cable Product (Model:
3CWE480).
Caution: Local regulations outside of the United States may
limit the authorized radiated power output of the 3Com Building-to-Building
Bridge Solution. These regulations limit the range for the bridging links and
increase sensitivity to the existing radio environment. The maximum range
expected outside of the United States is approximately 1 mile (1.6
km).
Powerful Yet Economical Campus Network Connections
Extend your company's campus network economically, without leasing expensive
dedicated lines or laying cable. The 3Com® Wireless LAN Building-to-Building
Bridge lets you replace costly, lower-bandwidth T1 lines and cable connections
with high-bandwidth wireless building-to-building links. You can connect
cross-campus buildings, or portable or temporary classrooms, at distances up to
16.9 kilometers (10 miles), depending on the antenna selected and other factors.
The wireless Ethernet bridge lets you start with point-to-point topologies, then
advance to point-to-multipoint as growth and applications demand—all with a
simple antenna change.
3Com Wireless LAN Building-to-Building Bridge will
interoperate with any Wi-Fi-compatible access point. With this built-in
flexibility, the bridge fits easily into large multibuilding, multivendor
environments.
11 Mbps IEEE 802.11b-standard wireless Ethernet performance delivers three
to four times the bandwidth of T1 links (throughput can vary depending on
network traffic load, distance between bridges, and type of antenna
used)
Data transmission ranges to distances up to 16.9 kilometers (10 miles),
depending on the antenna selected (longest distance requires two 3Com Wireless
LAN Building-to-Building bridges)
Multiple antenna options ensure the optimal signal strength for your
environment
3Com wireless bridges are competitively priced and economical to operate,
without the recurring costs of T1 or cable equipment
Point-to-point or multipoint (one-to-one or one-to-many) topology support
provides maximum flexibility when configuring building-to-building
networks
3Com wireless LAN building-to-building bridge is the first bridge that can
work with any other Wi-Fi certified access points in large multivendor
environments
Power over Ethernet reduces power cable installation expenses and increases
location options by using a single Ethernet cable to supply both data and power
to the unit
Dynamic rate feature helps keep network connections continuously available
by picking up the connection speed best adapted to the wireless radio
environment
40-bit and 128-bit WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption and 128 Dynamic
Security Link encryption protect network data and wireless transmissions from
security breaches; VPN pass-through provides additional security
Simple-to-use, web-based management lets administrators choose between
managing all bridges locally from any point on the subnet, or remotely via the
Internet
Convenient locally and remotely upgradeable firmware reduces IT workload and
helps lower the cost of ownership
When the bridge is used with 3Com® SuperStack® 3 Switch 4400 switches,
administrators can set up traffic prioritization parameters to optimize data
flow between buildings
Networking protocols, such as NetBui, IPX, and TCP/IP, can be filtered out
