1  Introduction 

 
The iWAP300 Universal Industrial Access Point Enclosure is designed to deploy 
wireless networks in harsh, wet and corrosive environments. The concept allows 
installation of equipment from leading WLAN vendors such as Aeroscout, Meru, 
Symbol, Cisco, Firetide and many others. Each type of Access Point or RF 
transmitting device is rigorously checked and tested by Extronics to ensure that 
the vendors equipment is suited. This means that you can effectively use the 
vendor of your choice when you want to extend your WLAN to your plant areas 
where protection against the elements is essential. 
 
The Extronics iWAP300 is designed for use with Extronics extensive range of 
antennas for optimum coverage. Optional features include surge arrestors for 
lightening suppression in outdoor installations and multimode fibre inputs for the 
Ethernet, enclosure heater for low temperature and anti-condensation plus the 
option of plug and socket cable entry instead of cable glands.
