Dual Band WLAN Outdoor Bridge

MRW55/MRW55M

MRV's MRW55/MRW55M is an intelligent, fast, reliable, and cost effective outdoor wireless Access-Point/ Bridge. It provides connectivity for wireless clients to a LAN as well as connectivity between remote LANs, up to 28km.

The MRW55/MRW55M provides wireless point-to-point and point-to-multipoint bridging solutions that operate in the unlicensed bands, and provides an efficient and highly secure solution for building-to-building and outdoor connectivity. It provides cost effective alternatives to expensive leased lines enabling instant links to connect detached offices to headquarters, and isolated buildings on campuses and in industrial zones.

Features

  • Robust outdoor architecture ensures unprecedented range and reliability.
  • Non compromising security using, selectable, AES or 64 / 128 / 152 bit WEP key encryption, and 801.x Authentification.
  • Supports 802.1D Spanning Tree protocol.
  • Supports packet filtering and VLANs.
  • MRW55 Units support a 5 GHz point-to-point wireless link up to 28 km using integrated high-gain 17 dBi antennas.
  • MRW55M units support 5 GHZ point-to-multipoint links using various external antenna options.
  • Multi-Band, Dual Radio works as access point or bridge in the 2.4 - 2.5GHz bands.
  • Works as Bridge and Access Point simultaneously
  • Data rate up to 100Mbps on the 5GHz radio.
  • Scans all available channels and selects the best channel and data rate based on the signal-tonoise ratio.
  • Manageable through an easy-to-use web browser interface, command line (via Telnet) or SNMP network management tools.
  • Firmware upgradeable by TFTP file transfer protocol through the Ethernet network.
  • Dual firmware image allows firmware upgrade without interference with existing firmware.
  • Supports TELNET console interface, password protected with Cisco like CLI.
