DATA SHEET
OVERVIEW
The 3Com
®
54 Mbps Wireless LAN Building-to-Building Bridge family
provides IEEE 802.11a and 802.11g Wi-Fi connections and bridged
links across building complexes, enterprise campuses and metropolitan
areas. Wireless outdoor bridges can connect intra-building LANs which
are up to 10 miles (17 kilometers) apart, while 802.11g indoor bridges
enable network connections between adjacent buildings and out to
open areas such as atriums and storage yards. In addition, the 3Com 11a
54 Mbps Wireless LAN Outdoor Building-to-Building Bridge and 11b/g
Access Point combines the functions of a bridge and a full-featured
wireless access point in one durable weatherproof unit.
By installing 3Com building-to-building bridges, enterprises can avoid
the expense of extending their cabling plant between buildings or
using expensive leased lines with recurring monthly service fees.
Rugged design and multiple security features help ensure continuous,
reliable and secure operation. Several antenna options are available for
the indoor bridges and the outdoor bridge/access point.
KEY BENEFITS
NETWORK CONNECTIONS EVERYWHERE
3Com building-to-building bridges let users connect to the enterprise
network at full 54 Mbps or 108 Mbps Wi-Fi speeds wherever they
happen to be working—even outdoors or in a remote facility across
town. Extending the network beyond the reach of Ethernet cabling
gives users more freedom and helps them be more productive. The
bridges support both point-to-multipoint and point-to-point operation
to meet a variety of configuration requirements.
