Product Description
The Vivato DP2310 Wi-Fi Switch is an unlicensed (FCC Part 15) wireless device operating in the 2.4
GHz band, providing connectivity to Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11b) client devices. The design of the DP2310
allows point-to-point packet transmission to client devices through a high gain, electronically steered
transmitting antenna that is integrated with the electronics into one self-contained unit. The same antenna
also functions as a high gain receiving antenna and is thus able to determine the direction to client devices
requesting association with the DP2310. The DP2310 increases the effective coverage area of Wi-Fi
networks through directed packet beams that are made possible by the high directivity of the antenna.
The extended range of the DP2310 allows the Wi-Fi network to operate at its maximum bit rate over most
of the coverage area. Increasing the bit rate in a wireless system is important because packet
transmissions are shorter in duration and thus interference is reduced to other users of the spectrum. A
focused, directive antenna has the additional benefit of reducing energy in directions other than towards
the intended receiver.
