The dualband DWL-7700AP is capable of delivering maximum wireless signal rates of up to 54Mbps in both 802.11a and 802.11g wireless bands in any outdoor environment - at the same time. This Outdoor Wireless AP/Bridge is an ideal addition to businesses seeking to extend dualband wireless signal coverage over outdoor real estate. Hotspot operators can use this rugged outdoor access point to support and deliver 802.11a and 802.11g wireless connectivity to their customers - whether they are out on the patio or deck, by the swimming pool, in the terrace, or on the golf course. By offering concurrent dualband connectivity, total aggregate bandwidth available on the network increases.

Another ideal application includes bridging together networks which are located in separate buildings. And with the DWL-7700AP's dualband capability, network administrators can bridge the networks on the 802.11a band while simultaneously providing 802.11g coverage for public wireless access. Enclosed in a die-cast watertight housing and equipped with a built-in heater monitored by a temperature sensor, the DWL-7700AP is designed to endure almost any outdoor condition. For advanced installations, this Access Point has an integrated 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) port that allows you to install the device in areas where power outlets are not readily available. Both antennas are also detachable and can be replaced with higher gain ones for greater wireless signal coverage.
