Wireless Redundancy
In traditional architectures, most vendors only provide a single RF AP and Client, in which the AP connects one
or more Clients to the network. Since the AP and Client are connected by a single RF connection, if the RF
connection is disconnected the system or network behind the Client will be disconnected, too.
With the new wireless redundancy technology, you can set up a redundant wireless connection between a
redundant client device and a redundant AP device. The redundant structure involves using the
AWK-5232’s two RF modules to set up two independent wireless connections between the redundant client
and redundant AP devices. If either of the two wireless connections fails, the other wireless connection will
continue transmitting packets between the redundant client and redundant AP devices. In addition to
carrying one or more redundant clients, standard single RF clients can also associate with the redundant AP.
One of the biggest advantages of the AWK-5232’s wireless redundancy mode is that you can expect “zero data
loss.”
