The Cisco WAP200E Wireless-G Exterior Access Point lets you connect Wireless-G (802.11g) or Wireless-B (802.11b) devices to your wired network, so you can add PCs to the network without the need for additional cabling. This weather-resistant access point creates a "wireless bubble" in exterior spaces, such as patios & outdoor cafes. Power over Ethernet (Po E) support makes it easy to install, & you can create multiple basic service set identifiers (BSSIDs) that connect to individual VLANs to keep your traffic separated. The Cisco WAP200E is also ideal to be used as a bridge to connect remote areas. For example, it could be used to connect offices with a warehouse housed in a separate building, or to connect the buildings of a college campus. Installing one access point on each building provides connections at up to Wireless-G speeds
- with no cable to run. The weather-resistant housing protects the access point & is lightning protected. To protect your data & privacy, the Cisco WAP200E supports both Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) & the industrial-strength wireless security of Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA), encoding all of your wireless transmissions with powerful encryption. The MAC address filter lets you decide who can access your wireless network, & advanced logging keeps you apprised of access attempts. Configuration is a snap with the web browser-based configuration utility. Range Booster technology, a compatible add-on to standard Wireless-G, can nearly double the range of your wireless network & increase its throughput by up to 35 percent. Unlike ordinary wireless technologies that are confused by signal reflections, Range Booster uses two smart receivers at each end to detect & decode reflected signals at distances where standard technologies give up. Youll find that "dead spots" in the wireless coverage area are reduced as well. The integrated quality of service (Qo S) features provide consistent voice & video quality on both the wire
