WB-2P-LR2 is a user station designed for connection to Wi-Fi access network which might be constructed using base stations within long distances. The case of WB-2P-LR2 is sealed, that is allows to install the device outdoor with different climate conditions.
User station WB-2P-LR2 (herein after 'the device') is designed for access provision to secure wireless network. WB-2P-LR2 connects to a base station via Wi-Fi technology and operates at 2.4 GHz (the frequency range – 2402– 2482 MHz). The device is supposed to operate with WOP-2ac-LR2. WB-2P-LR2 might be also used for wireless bridge organization.
