D-Link, the industry pioneer in wireless networking, introduces a reliable high-performance wireless outdoor solution - the D-Link AirPremier DWL-7700AP Wireless AG Outdoor AP/Bridge. The dualband DWL-7700AP is capable of delivering maximum wireless signal rates of up to 54Mbps in both 802.11a and 802.11g wireless bands in any outdoor environment - at the same time. This Outdoor Wireless AP/Bridge is an ideal addition to businesses seeking to extend dualband wireless signal coverage over outdoor real estate. Hotspot operators can use this rugged outdoor access point to support and deliver 802.11a and 802.11g wireless connectivity to their customers - whether they are out on the patio or deck, by the swimming pool, in the terrace, or on the golf course. By offering concurrent dualband connectivity, total aggregate bandwidth available on the network increases. Another ideal application includes bridging together networks which are located in separate buildings. And with the DWL-7700AP's dualband capability, network administrators can bridge the networks on the 802.11a band while simultaneously providing 802.11g coverage for public wireless access. Enclosed in a die-cast watertight housing and equipped with a built-in heater monitored by a temperature sensor, the DWL-7700AP is designed to endure almost any outdoor condition. For advanced installations, this Access Point has an integrated 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) port that allows you to install the device in areas where power outlets are not readily available. Both antennas are also detachable and can be replaced with higher gain ones for greater wireless signal coverage. In addition to convenient installation, the DWL-7700AP can be configured to operate in any of four modes: Access Point (AP), Point-to-Point (PtP) bridge, Point-to-MultiPoint (PtMP) Bridge, or Wireless Client. When used in any operation mode, the DWL-7700AP provides maximum security by supporting standard WEP Encryption (64/128/152-bit), WPA-Personal, and WPA-Enterprise which includes 802.1x user authentication. MAC Address Filtering, Wireless LAN segmentation, Disable SSID Broadcast, and AES encryption support are some other highlights of this Wireless AP/Bridge's security features. Network administrators can manage all the DWL-7700AP's settings via its Web-based configuration utility or with Telnet. For advanced network management, administrators can use D-Link's AP Manager or the D-View SNMP v3 management module to configure multiple access points from a single location. With its dualband functionality, integrated PoE support, extensive manageability, versatile operation modes, and solid security enhancements all in one box, the new D-Link AirPremier DWL-7700AP Wireless AG Outdoor Access Point provides everything network administrators need to extend a robust wireless network to the outdoors.
