AWE W2W
The AWE-W2W Wireless to Wireless Digital Bridge transparently bridges 802.11 (WiFi) radios from one frequency band to another, simply by connecting between the radio and antenna. Units are available with a wide variety of frequency input and output ranges. Compact indoor and outdoor enclosures, standard mounting options, and a wide input voltage range make the AWE-W2W easily retrofitted into many systems.
The AWE-W2W captures each incoming packet and retransmits it on the other interface, thus acting as a transparent bridge. Due to this capture-and-forward architecture, it works with any security scheme with no configuration required.
Features
The AWE-W2W makes it simple to change the frequency of legacy 802.11 equipment.
- Support for 802.11a/b/g
- Web-based configuration via Ethernet ports
- Support for antenna diversity – up to 2 local and 2 radio output antennas
- Normally under 2.5ms of added latency
- Automatically detects and adjusts to modulations, speeds and signal widths
Usage Scenarios
The AWE-W2W can be used to bridge wireless networks in a number of different scenarios.
- Bridge multiple wireless networks at different frequencies
- Connect wireless devices to networks on different frequency
- Bridge existing wireless gear to new air frequency
- Extend wireless network via wired network
