Product Features
Wireless dual-band transceiver
Varied antenna options:
The OmniAccess AP60 has dual Reverse Polarity SMA (RP-SMA)
antenna connectors that accept a variety of high-gain detachable
antennas (not included).
The OmniAccess AP61 has a built-in swivel array with dual, tri-band,
omnidirectional antennas for reception diversity.
Protocol-independent networking functionality
Supports IEEE 802.11a or IEEE 802.11b/g operation as an AP
Supports IEEE 802.11a and IEEE 802.11b/g operation as an AM
Compatible with IEEE 802.3af Power Over Ethernet (POE)
Seamless connectivity to wired LANs augment existing networks quickly
and easily
Can be centrally managed, configured, and upgraded through the Wireless
LAN Switch to take advantage of network changes and security improve-
ments
Ethernet Compatibility
The OmniAccess AP60/61 attaches to 10/100 Mbps Ethernet (FE) LAN
segments that utilize 10Base-T/100Base-TX (twisted-pair) wiring. The device
appears as an Ethernet node and performs a routing function by moving
packets between the wired LAN and remote workstations on the wireless
infrastructure.
Radio Characteristics
The OmniAccess AP60/61 can be configured to support IEEE 802.11a or IEEE
802.11b/g operation as an AP , and supports both IEEE 802.11a and IEEE
802.11b/g operation as an AM:
802.11a provides a high data rate and reliable wireless connectivity
802.11a operation uses a radio modulation technique known as Orthogonal
Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM), and a shared collision domain
(CSMA/CA). It operates in the 5GHz Unlicensed National Information
Infrastructure (UNII) band. Data is transmitted over a half-duplex radio channel
operating at up to 54 Megabits per second (Mbps).
802.11b provides an alternative to wired LANs that can dramatically cut
costs
802.11b operation uses the IEEE 802.11 High-Rate Direct Sequence (HRDS)
specification, and a shared collision domain (CSMA/CA). It operates in the
2.4GHz Industrial/Scientific/Medical (ISM) band. The ISM band is available
worldwide for unlicensed use. Data is transmitted at speeds of up to 11 Mbps.
