Hopper Plus 120-24 Wireless Ethernet Bridge
The Hopper Plus 120-24 is a wireless Ethernet bridge that provides high-speed, wireless
connectivity at a fraction of the cost of wired solutions. It uses multi-code direct sequence
spread spectrum technology over the license-exempt, 2.4 - 2.4835 GHz ISM radio band.
The maximum data rate is 12.0 Mbps.
The Hopper Plus 120-24:
¥ provides wireless connectivity at speeds up to eight times faster than regular T1 lines,
making the Hopper Plus ideal for providing high-speed Internet access or for wirelessly
extending existing communications infrastructures.
¥ supports point-to-point and point-to-multipoint networks. Contentionless polling ensures
efficient access to remote data networks.
¥ is self-contained and easy to use. Simply connect a Hopper Plus 120 -24 to each LAN
segment, and the unit automatically learns where nodes are located on the network and
performs dynamic packet filtering to ensure the local LAN traffic does not overload the
wireless connection.
Making a Wireless Bridge
The simplest example of using the Hopper Plus 120-24 is a point-to-point wireless bridge,
which requires a minimum of two units: a base unit and a remote unit. The units make a
high-speed wireless communication link between two wired network segments.
