Features & Benefits
Secure High-Speed Wired-Wireless Connectivity
Extend the functionality of your network with this universal Wi-Fi bridge. The 3Com® 11a/b/g Wireless LAN Workgroup Bridge enables legacy wired Ethernet network devices— PCs, laptops, cameras— to be quickly, easily and securely connected to the wireless LAN.
Avoid expensive upgrades or retrofitting of legacy products such as cash registers, deli and vegetable scales, time clocks, bar code readers, etc. by connecting to the wireless network via the serial port of the bridge.
When paired with a 16-port switch (like the low-cost 3Com® OfficeConnect® Dual Speed Switch), up to 16 network devices— PCs, printers, point-of-sale devices, and Internet appliances— can be connected to a wireless LAN. Eliminating the need for Wi-Fi PC cards and adapters for each device creates a mixed wired and wireless network at a much lower cost while maintaining flexibility as network needs change.
The wireless LAN workgroup bridge supports all three IEEE 802.11 a, b, and g networking standards. This all-in-one support preserves existing equipment investments while supporting the latest higher-speed technologies. Mix and match radio bands to meet different coverage and bandwidth user needs within the same area.
A one-time configuration at initial setup translates to a true plug-and-play experience. Once setup is complete, the bridge can be remotely managed using a standard Web browser or SNMP management tools. Auto network connect keeps wireless users connected to the network, even when roaming across IP subnets, with a choice of ad hoc or infrastructure connectivity mode.
