Planet Technology Corporation today announced its WLAN Outdoor Access Point solution (WAP-5000/WAP-5100). To improve the restrictions which physical cables place on most networks, PLANET today delivers wireless outdoor solutions that have removed the boundaries of both LAN and WLAN.



PLANET 802.11b WLAN outdoor solutions include two models: WAP-5000 and WAP-5100. WAP-5000 is a Wireless Access Point, which is suitable for widely open space applications such as WISPs, campuses, and airports. Except for 64/128-bit WEP encryption, WAP-5000 integrates 802.1X authentication, user isolation, protocol filtering, and MAC access control to secure the information of your wireless LAN.



WAP-5100 is a wireless bridge capable to link two or more remote sites together with up to 11Mbps data rate. When constructing a wireless building-to-building link with directional antennas, it is necessary to align the antennas for proper operation. The intelligent antenna alignment feature of WAP-5100 helps engineers to get the quick, convenient, and accurate alignment.



Both of the models have specially designed housing to against the rigorous weather conditions while they are installed in exposed locations. Provided with SNMP-based utility, the installation and management tasks become fast and easy. Furthermore, the PoE (Power over Ethernet) design reduces the power cables installation fee and provides more flexibility while selecting the locations of WAP-5000 and WAP-5100.
