Electronic components must be disposed of as hazardous toxic waste and must not be incinerated. 1.3 Electrical safety The GW2020 Series router is a class I/II apparatus. We recommend that an AC surge arrestor is installed in the AC outlet to which this equipment is connected.
The United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland are under an obligation to minimise the disposal of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) in domestic waste and encourage recycling, recovery and environmentally sound disposal. Virtual Access is committed to promoting the reuse, recycling and recovery of WEEE by contributing to the appropriate compliance schemes.
GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) uses packet-switched technology to transmit small bursts of data. The 3G or 4G modem on the GW2020 Series supports multi-slot class 6, which allows a maximum data rate of 384Kbps class 3. The maximum data rate available to the 3G or 4G modem depends on provisioning by the network operator.
3.3.1 Antenna diversity The GW2020 Series router has an AUX connector for connection of a second antenna to allow for antenna diversity. Antenna diversity helps improve the quality and reliability of a wireless link by mitigating problems associated with multipath distortion.
