Products in Action: LevelOne introduces 4 easy applications for professional-level wireless networks

Create a fast and reliable wireless network that covers great distances

Today we're going to look at 3 of our newest professional level Wireless Access Points, WAB-3001, WAB-3002 and WAB-7000. Check below the product info to see some examples of how these devices can be deployed.

Model	Features	Datasheet
WAB-3001	Description: Wireless 11g Outdoor PoE AP w/ Built-In 9dBi Antenna Key features: Built-in 9 dBi antenna means overall costs stays down as no need to purchase additional antenna IP-66 weatherproof rating Operates on 11b/g spectrum bands (2.4 GHz) Power over Ethernet for easy deployment Supports WDS (listed under "AP mode" in web UI) WDS mode allows Bridge, Repeater, AP Client to work simultaneously with AP mode "Bridge" mode supports both point-to-point, and point-to-multi-point bridge	Datasheet
WAB-3002	Description: Wireless 11g Outdoor PoE AP Key features: N-type connector for customizable antenna selection IP-66 weatherproof rating Operates on 11b/g spectrum bands (2.4 GHz) Power over Ethernet for easy deployment Supports WDS (listed under "AP mode" in web UI) WDS mode allows Bridge, Repeater, AP Client to work simultaneously with AP mode "Bridge" mode supports both point-to-point, and point-to-multi-point bridge	Datasheet
WAB-7000	Description: Wireless 11a/b/g Outdoor PoE AP Key features: Supports 11a operation; extended, uninterrupted transmission distances on the 5 GHz spectrum that is less crowded than 2.4 GHz N-type connector for customizable antenna selection IP-66 weatherproof rating Power over Ethernet for easy deployment Supports WDS (listed under "AP mode" in web UI) WDS mode allows Bridge, Repeater, AP Client to work simultaneously with AP mode "Bridge" mode supports both point-to-point, and point-to-multi-point bridge	Datasheet

Now that you've seen the photos, features and technical info of WAB-3001/3002/7000, you might be wondering, "What can they really do?"

Check out these application diagrams showing in more detail the best way to build and deploy a large-scale wireless network with these professional-level wireless access points.

Example	Photo
1. AP Client and Repeater Mode: WAB-3002/WAB-7000 The red building is bad. He's trying to block the wireless signal to the man sitting on top of the remote office. It's a good thing the system integrator installed a WAB-3002 on the top of the green building. Now it's easy to work around any difficult deployment challenge. Sometimes you can't move buildings, but you can change your strategy! And since all 3 products can work in AP and Repeater modes simultaneously, the signal is sent remotely while also offering a wireless internet connection locally for users withing range of the APs location.

2. Short to Medium Range Bridge (WDS): WAB-3001 Just because you're a farmer doesn't mean you're stuck in the past. This dairy farmer wants an easy way to send all his daily info back to the main office. By creating a bridge in WDS mode, he's able to send his daily cow count back to the farmhouse using his laptop computer. WAB-3001 comes with a built-in 9 dBi antenna, making it very easy to build this wireless network. And with Power over Ethernet, only a single cable runs from the top of the roof to the PoE switch.

3. Super long distances in pure Bridge mode: WAB-3002/7000 Sometimes it's just too costly and too time-consuming to try and extend the local network beyond a single building. That's when using LevelOne professional-level Wireless Access Points come in handy. Both WAB-3002 and WAB-7000 feature N-type connectors, giving the systems integrator the freedom to choose the antenna that's right for any deployment. Here we see 2 buildings connected together creating a WLAN that can reach over 20km. Actual distance performance may vary and depends on physical environment conditions. Theoretical distance only.

4. Advanced Point to Multi-Point Network: WAB-3001/3002/7000 Point to multi-point networks are ideal for networks that need to share data between many buildings, namely a college or corporate campus. By using all 3 of the WAB products discussed above, system integrators can choose the antenna and access point that works best. Using pure bridge mode allows long range connections, while using WDS mode allows for short-range connections that can also offer internet connections outside the building. (See example 1 for more info.)
