Secure High-Speed Wired-Wireless Connectivity
Extend the functionality of your network with this universal Wi-Fi bridge. The bridge enables a laptop or PC user without built-in wireless capability to connect to a wireless LAN. When paired with a low-cost 3Com® OfficeConnect® Dual Speed Hub, up to 16 network devices—PCs, printers, point-of-sale devices, and Internet appliances—can be connected to a wireless LAN. Eliminating the need for Wi-Fi PC cards and adapters for each device creates a mixed wired and wireless network at a much lower cost while maintaining flexibility as network needs change.
The wireless LAN workgroup bridge supports all three IEEE 802.11 a, b, and g networking standards. This all-in-one support preserves existing equipment investments while supporting the latest higher-speed technologies. Mix and match radio bands to meet different coverage and bandwidth user needs within the same area. A one-time configuration at initial setup translates to a true plug-and-play experience. Once setup is complete, the bridge can be remotely managed using a standard Web browser or SNMP management tools. Auto network connect keeps wireless users connected to the network, even when roaming across IP subnets, with a choice of ad hoc or infrastructure connectivity mode.
- Economically expands a mixed wired and wireless network by eliminating the need for wireless PC Cards and adapters
- Enhances the revenue potential of hotel and leisure business hotspot services by extending WLAN access to laptop and pocket PC users who don't have built-in wireless capability
- When paired with the 3Com OfficeConnect Dual Speed Hub 16 (3C16754-US), the bridge can connect up to 16 network devices to a wireless LAN
- Simultaneous 802.11 a/b/g wireless standard support delivers comprehensive coverage and investment protection; Wi-Fi certification ensures broad compatibility
- Advanced 256-bit WPA encryption, and 40/64- and 128-bit WEP encryption, protect all communications over the wireless LAN
- 802.1X server authentication with PEAP and EAP-TTLS protocol support help ensure that only authorized uses access the network and centralize authentication control and management
- Simple one-time setup, with no configuration required in most cases, makes for true plug-and-play operation
- Web browser and SNMP support enable administrators to remotely manage the bridge from anywhere and seamlessly integrate the wireless LAN with enterprise management tools
- Optional 2.4/5 GHz dual-band omnidirectional antenna extends the bridge's wireless transmission range and adds installation flexibility
