SMC2555W-AG provides configurable output transmit power
to adjust coverage area size. If extended range is required,
users can choose among the wide selection of SMC 2.4GHz
High Gain Antennas to achieve the need in the 802.11b/g
frequency band. SMC2555W-AG comes with a unique design
of two Dual Band Antennas with an RP-MMCX connector for
optional 2.4GHz High Gain Antenna for extended range and
coverage (optional SMC2555W-JMPRCBL Jumper Cable is
available to connect from RP-MMCX to SMC Antenna
Cables). The new enterprise level dual band Wireless Access
Point supports Power over Ethernet that adheres to 802.3af
standard. Power over Ethernet support reduces installation
cost by using standard Category 5 cable to provide power to
the Access Point. In addition, SMC2555W-AG provides
anti-theft mechanism by integrating Kensington security
slot on the device. All of the above make SMC2555WP-AG a
perfect solution with unparalleled flexibility and investment
protection for your wireless LAN deployment.
