Wireless LAN Outdoor Bridge Solution
3CRWEASY96A
Outdoor solution for secure long-distance
wireless connections
The 3Com® Wireless LAN Outdoor Bridge Solution is a comprehensive building-to-building outdoor
wireless LAN kit that reduces the need to evaluate, purchase and assemble separate components. One
convenient package includes everything you need to offer an easy-to-manage building-to-building
wireless LAN. The package features a 3Com Wireless LAN Building-to-Building Bridge with integrated
antenna and power-over-Ethernet cable in a durable, weatherproof enclosure.
The bridge uses either of two network topologies:
■
Point-to-point
■
Point-to-multipoint
The first illustration shows the point-to-point topology (also known as Ad Hoc Network Mode).
Notice
that the bridges face one another. While this is elementary in a close setting, real-world conditions such
as long distances, mountainous regions, and architectural barriers will not allow for such a precise
alignment. However, those conditions will not necessarily prohibit effective communication
between locations.
