• Economically extend the reach of enterprise networks, eliminating costly fiber cabling or monthly telephone line charges • Rugged, weatherproof 3Com® 11g 54Mbps Wireless LAN Outdoor Building-to-Building Bridge is ideal for cross-campus or longer-distance metropolitan area links • Versatile 3Com 11g 54Mbps Wireless LAN Indoor Buildingto-Building Bridge is ideal for large, open indoor areas or linking adjacent buildings 3Com 11g 54Mbps Wireless LAN Building-to-Building Bridge Family DATA SHEET Key Benefits Flexible, Cost-Effective Extended Reach Avoid fiber cable installation costs and headaches-or monthly T1/E1 line expenses that can total up to US$1,000 per month for little more than 1Mbps of bandwidth. Now you can connect LANs over secure, high-speed wireless, bridge-tobridge links. The 3Com® 11g 54Mbps Wireless LAN Outdoor Building-toBuilding Bridge with integrated 18dBi high-gain panel antenna is designed to operate in harsh environmental conditions at distances up to 10 miles (17 kilometers), while the 3Com 11g 54Mbps Wireless LAN Indoor Building-to-Building Bridge works well in large, open interiors or adjacent buildings. Deployed together, the bridges are an intelligent choice for connecting building LANs in campus-like settings. Reliable Connections Dynamic rate shifting helps keep network connections available. Multiple Security Features To shield wireless communications, WPAPSK and AES authentication and encryption provide the latest industrystandard security. VPN and VLAN support keep network data private and transmissions safe from security breaches. Simple Installation and Management Setup wizard software makes installation and configuration easy. Once setup is complete, the building-to-building bridges can be remotely managed using a standard Web browser or SNMP management tools. Standards-Based, High-Speed Performance Both 11g 54Mbps bridges deliver ten to twenty times the bandwidth of T1/E1 links through secure wireless network connections and support up to 1000 clients. The building-to-building bridges can operate in either point-to-point or point-to-multipoint configurations to meet growth and specific application demands. Features FLEXIBLE HIGH-SPEED CONNECTIVITY Economical wireless building-to-building links High-speed 54Mbps data rate 802.11g standard Antenna choices (Indoor Building-to-Building Bridge) Description Brings rapid return-on-investment in as little as 2 to 3 months by eliminating fiber cable installation or recurring T1/E1 line costs, which can total up to $US 1,000 per month for little more than 1Mbps of bandwidth. Wireless building-to-building bridge deployments cost about one tenth that of fiber cabling installations and avoid right-of-way and trenching problems. Delivers 10 to 20 times the throughput of expensive T1/E1 lines through secure wireless network connections; easily handles large multimedia file transfers. Supports latest high-speed data transfer rates-five times the speed of 11b networks. Antenna and cables are required; choose from 4dBi to 18dBi panel or omni-directional antennas for maximum RF coverage for a wide range of applications. 1
