Description
MULTIPLE SECURITY FEATURES
Wi-Fi Protected Access-Pre-Shared Key (WPA-PSK),
Multiple encryption and authentication schemes protect all communications over the wireless LAN.
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP), and Advanced
Encryption Standard (AES) encryption
VPN and VLAN pass-through
Create secure tunnels for remote site-to-site or site-to-user data exchange.
Weatherproof, fire-resistant enclosure with
Rugged enclosure meets stringent outdoor environmental, safety, and security specifications; 18dBi
integrated antenna (Outdoor Building-to-Building
panel antenna maintains a consistently strong directional signal.
Bridge)
EC/EN 60529 IPX4 rated for water ingress protection meets the UL 50 and CAN/CSA C22.2 No.94, type 3R
rating.
INSTALLATION AND MANAGEMENT CONVENIENCE
Point-to-point and point-to-multipoint topology
Provides maximum flexibility in configuring building-to-building networks; point-to-multipoint configuration
support
supports up to seven bridge connections with either indoor or outdoor bridges.
PoE support
Power can be supplied by the included power injector or by a compatible Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) switch
for deployment flexibility in hard-to-wire or remote locations.
Web browser, 3ND, and SNMP support
Enable administrators to remotely manage the bridges from anywhere and seamlessly integrate LANs with
enterprise management tools.
NOTE: 16.9 km (10 mi) range requires 3Com wireless LAN building-to-building bridges on both buildings. Data throughput can vary depending on several factors, including
network traffic load, distance between bridges, antennas, line-of-sight, and local and remote EMI and Freznel zone obstructions.

The 3Com wireless LAN
indoor and outdoor
building-to-building
bridges can be deployed
alone or in combination,
in point-to-point or
point-to-multipoint
configurations, to meet
different distance and
coverage needs.
For example, on a school
campus, the outdoor
building-to-building
bridge can be installed on
a main office building,
providing network access
for adjacent classroom
buildings or portables
installed with 3Com wire-
less indoor or outdoor
building-to-building
bridges.
Bridge Point-to-Multipoint Configuration
Supports distances up to 10 miles (17 km)
Adjacent classroom buildings installed with 3Com 11g 54Mbps
Wireless LAN Indoor Building to Building Bridges or 3Com 11g 54Mbps
Wireless LAN Outdoor Building to Building Bridges
Bridge Point-to-Point Configuration
