Designed to connect two or more separated Local Area Networks (usually located in different buildings), the SMC EliteConnect Wireless Bridge is the easiest alternative to a traditional wired network. It delivers high data rate and allows personnel in a corporate campus environment to access all local and remote network resources. The Wireless Bridge is also a cost-effective solution. It eliminates the need for expensive cabling and difficult-to-install leased lines. The SMC2582W-B bridges two or more wired LANs. Connected to the Ethernet backbone through an RJ-45 connector, the Wireless Bridge (Access Point/Bridge and Bridge Master modes) can also function as an Access Point, bridging between a wired LAN and one or more wireless mobile PC-based stations. The EliteConnect 2.4GHz 11 Wireless Bridge connects difficult-to-wire locations, branch offices, school or corporate campus environments, frequently changing work-places, temporary LANs, hospitals and warehouses. The Wireless Bridge also allows multiple buildings to share a single Internet connection.
