The 802.11 b/g compliant WAB-3003 is a multi-mode Last-Mile Broadband solution for Wireless
Internet Service Provider (WISP). It can be used as an outdoor Customer Premises Equipment (CPE
mode) to receive wireless signal over the last mile, helping WISPs deliver wireless broadband
Internet service to new residential and business customers, where wired broadband Internet service,
such as cable and DSL, cannot serve. In addition, it can be deployed as a traditional fixed wireless
Access Point (AP mode), either indoors or outdoors.
The WAB-3003 is compact in size and weatherproof. Coming with a mounting kit, it can be
mounted on a pole or wall. Specifically developed for outdoor use, the fully-hardened, IP68-rated
WAB-3003 can withstand wind, rain, lightning, power surges, and extreme temperatures.
The following is a network diagram for a typical WISP application.
