The DAP-3520 Wireless N Dual Band Exterior Access Point is the ideal solution for businesses & premises looking to provide outdoor wireless Internet & network access. Designed specifically for outdoor environments, the DAP-3520 has an IP65 rated water/dustproof enclosure. Connect wirelessly with speeds of up to 300 Mbps using the Wireless N (802.11n standard). The DAP-3520 provides the option to switch between 2.4 GHz & 5 GHz bands, giving more flexibility when setting up & optimizing your wireless network. It is also fully backwards compatible with legacy 802.11a/b/g devices that work with either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz bands. Designed to handle a wide variety of outdoor environments, the DAP-3520 has a die-cast watertight housing with built-in heater & temperature sensor. Supporting 802.3af Power over Ethernet (Po E), it can be deployed in outdoor locations where power outlets are not easily accessible. The DAP-3520 supports 64/128-bit WEP as well as WPA/WPA2 data encryption. MAC address filtering & ability to hide SSID, controls user access & further ensures no unwanted connection to your wireless network. The DAP-3520 supports up to 4 SSIDs, allowing the administrators to logically divide the access point into several virtual access points all within a single hardware platform. Rather than having separate networks with several access points, administrators can deploy one single AP to support more than one application, such as public Internet access & internal network control to increase flexibility & keep costs down. The DAP-3520 also supports AP grouping, allowing several access points to balance wireless network traffic & wireless clients among the AP with the same SSID & different non-overlapping frequency channels. This provides both scalability & optimization of the wireless network.
