EnGenius Technologies Introduces Versatile, Powerful Outdoor Access Points

EnGenius Technologies (News - Alert), Inc., an industry expert in wireless communications and radio frequency technology, recently released the versatile, high-speed ENH500 and ENH202 Long-Range Wireless 11N Outdoor Client Bridges/Access Points.

The company’s most powerful outdoor access points to date, the ENH202 and ENH500, can function as access points, client bridges, client routers, or Wireless Distribution System bridges. They can also deliver speeds up to 300Mbps and maintain a reliable link over distances up to two miles.

Featuring directional internal high-gain antennas with dual polarization, the ENH202 and ENH500 are able to provide higher speeds and extended ranges.

For maximum compatibility with various client devices, the ENH202 supports 2.4GHz 802.11b/g/n, whereas the ENH500 supports 802.11a/n in the less-saturated 5GHz band to provide fast, reliable wireless connectivity for mission critical, bandwidth-intensive business applications.

Officials said that the ENH202 and ENH500 are ideal for supporting outdoor deployments of IP security cameras or providing a reliable, high-speed wireless network bridge between buildings in campus environments. To provide reliable service in harsh outdoor environments, they feature certified IP55 protection.

In a release, Jeff Keenan of Keenan Systems, LLC, said, “I’ve tested both the new ENH202 and ENH500 and the power and speed upgrades really make the difference from good point-to-point solutions to incredibly fast and robust point-to-point wireless. A lot of it has to do with the high power expertise that EnGenius applies to its APs, like the 800mW of output power in the ENH202 which pushes out the 300Mbps 11n speeds farther than before. Essentially faster speed at greater range than other 11n outdoor APs.”

He added, “And the ENH500 is the dedicated 5GHz that a lot of system integrators and IT managers have been waiting for as the AP, Bridge solution that avoids the plethora of 2.4GHz signals typical in campus environments.”

In related news, EnGenius Technologies launched the EAP350 Business-Class Indoor, Long-Range, Wireless-N Gigabit Access Point (News - Alert). The EAP350, which can operate in WDS Bridge or WDS Access Point mode, is ideal for adding long-range wireless coverage or expanding bandwidth to an existing wired or wireless network.

The EAP350 delivers high-power and high-speeds to provide reliable, fast wireless network connectivity over large areas or in multi-story buildings.
