The main purpose of WEP-30L is installation inside buildings as an access point to various resources creating a seamless wireless network from several identical access points (“Roaming”), if the coverage area is large enough.
The device is designed for installation in offices (government institutions, conference rooms, laboratories, hotels, etc.). Ability to create virtual hotspots with different encryption types allows one to place WEP-30L in organizations where separation of access rights is required between ordinary users and dedicated user groups.
