HotPort 5020 point-to-point solution
A HotPort 5020-LNK point-to-point solution is a linked pair of wireless Ethernet
nodes that comes with outdoor-rated antennas that is ideal for data traffic.
The nodes are lightweight, outdoor devices that give you one two-way, half-
duplex link with UDP throughput speeds of up to 50 Mbps. Each node has one
radio.
Note.
Do not daisy-chain pairs of devices to create a multiple hop link.
Performance degrades if you do.
The HotPort 5020-LNK node pair is managed with HotView Pro 10.9.1.0 and later.
One node is the server; and the other node is a client.
Applications for the HotPort-LNK nodes include:
•
Building-to-building data connectivity
• Video surveillance with IP cameras
• Wi-Fi access with an access point
The next image shows a point-to-point connection with a pair of
HotPort 5020-LNK nodes and a HotPoint 5200 access point for Wi-Fi access. At a
distance of 1.6 km (1 mile) you can achieve data throughput of up to 50 Mbps.
