Using A Repeater Base; Building A Wan - Wi-LAN AWE120-58 Ultima3 Series User Manual

Using a Repeater Base

A base station can function as a repeater to enable wireless data communication around physical obstacles
such as tall buildings or mountains. The repeater passes data around the obstacle to any remote in the same
RF group. The single unit repeater slows data throughput due to the "store and forward" process where each
packet is handled twice. A dual unit repeater does not slow data throughput.

Building a WAN

LAN segments can be linked with AWE units to build a WAN (Wide Area Network). Wi-LAN networks are
installed in many locations around the world. You can contact Wi-LAN for help designing your network.
