WAP-4000   
 
   [Overview].
 
54/108Mbps Super G Wireless LAN Access Point
 
 
WAP-4000 is an IEEE 802.11g Wireless Access Point. IEEE 802.11g uses 2.4GHz frequency band, the
same as IEEE 802.11b; but it provides almost 5 times throughput rate than 802.11b. With the latest
innovative Super G technology integrated, the maximum data rate of WAP-4000 is 108Mbps, which
doubles the speed of standard 802.11g. WAP-4000 is also backward compatible and interoperable with
IEEE 802.11b compliant wireless devices. Except for 64/128bit WEP encryption, WAP-4000 also
integrates WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) and 802.1x authentication. Cooperating with a RADIUS server
can make your wireless LAN more secure then ever. Provided with one reversed-polarity SMA male
connector, WAP-4000 is easy to connect external antenna and booster to extend the wireless distance

Five operational modes including AP, AP Client, Bridge, Multiple Bridge, and Repeater widen the
usage of WAP-4000. Being a standard Wireless AP, WAP-4000 together with any other wireless access
points provides the seamless integration between Ethernet network and Wireless network and also
offers the roaming for all the Wireless mobile devices. AP client mode turns Ethernet devices into a
wireless client. As switching to wireless bridging operation mode, having two or more LANs in different
buildings connected is no more need to through physical and costly wires, WAP-4000 installed in
these buildings soon provides 54Mbps transfer rate 24/7 without any additional costs. The repeater
mode makes WAP-4000 acting as a wireless AP and bridge at the same time, which facilitates user to
build up a large wireless network

* Only H/W v2 or above version supports Super G and Repeater mode
 
   [Product Application]
Secured and managed enterprise-class WLAN
In an enterprise or campus area, some mobile users may need a continuous network connection. By installing WAP-4000 in the area, mobile users can be always on the network by installing a wireless card in their notebook or PDA. The roaming capacity allows users connected to the network to transparently roam from one access point to another

Wireless ISP
A first mile solution is now simple with PLANET's wireless devices. No wiring is needed and the provided bandwidth can be up to 54Mbps. By installing WAP-4000 equipped with omni-directional antenna in the user's neighborhood, all users around the AP can easily connect to Internet through the access point by installing a wireless PCI card or a WAP-4000 in AP client mode. By using a directional antenna, the distance between users and AP can be a few kilometers.

LAN to LAN or LAN to Multi-LAN
Wiring inside your own building may be an easy job, but it is hard if network cabling needs to route through some public areas or difficult wiring environments. WAP-4000 can work in bridge mode to provide a robust solution for connecting two or more buildings wired Ethernets together. By extending distance using PLANET's external antenna, the installation is easy and the distance between buildings can be 10km or more
