Flexible and Reliable Outdoor Wireless Solution with Superior Performance
PLANET WBS-512AC 802.11ac WAVE 2 900Mbps Outdoor Wireless CPE offers a better range and excellent throughput than those of the traditional wireless device. With the standard IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet (PoE) design, the WBS-512AC can be easily installed in the areas where power outlets are not available. The WBS-512AC is definitely suitable for wireless IP surveillance, and bridge link of building to building and backbone of public service. Additionally, the self-healing capability keeps connection alive all the time. With the IP55-rated outdoor enclosure, the WBS-512AC can perform normally under rigorous weather conditions, meaning it can be installed in any harsh, outdoor environments.
Benefits of MU-MIMO under 802.11ac Wave 2
With the MU-MIMO Wave 2 technology, the WBS-512AC, installed in public areas such as hotspots, airports and conferences, reduces the frustration that Wi-Fi users often experience in downloading web pages, e-mail file attachments and media contents. For cellular operators, the WBS-512AC provides a better Wi-Fi user experience, reducing the likelihood of users turning off Wi-Fi and putting more load on the cellular network. For enterprises, this technology also can solve Wi-Fi congestion issues in open work spaces and conference rooms.
Designed for Various Requirements
The WBS-512AC is specially designed for long-distance outdoor surveillance and wireless backhaul solutions that are capable of establishing stable bridge connection through the embedded 14dBi unidirectional antenna. To provide maximum performance, the WBS-512AC can implement up to 6 operation modes and is easy to use where a multitude of applications in communities, warehouses, campuses, harbors, etc. can be made.
3 Simple Steps to Set Up PtP Connection
Without needing to enter the Web interface for configuration, the WBS-512AC has the DIP switch for setting to master (AP mode) and to slave (repeater mode). User only needs three simple steps to establish the PtP connection without any difficulty. By just switching the button to “Master” on the master AP, and pressing the reset button, the PtP connection can be established in 2 minutes as the connection steps are shown below.
Multiple SSIDs with VLAN Tagging
The WBS-512AC supports WPA/WPA2, and the 802.1X RADIUS authentication to secure the wireless connection. Besides, the supported IEEE 802.1Q VLAN allows multiple VLAN tags to be mapped to multiple SSIDs to distinguish the wireless access. This makes it possible for the WBS-512ACN to work with managed Ethernet switches to have VLANs assigned to a different access level and authority.
Flexible and Reliable Outdoor Characteristics
The WBS-512AC is definitely suitable for wireless IP surveillance, and bridge link of building to building and backbone of public service. Additionally, the self-healing capability keeps connection alive all the time. With the IP55-rated outdoor enclosure, the WBS-512AC can perform normally under rigorous weather conditions, meaning it can be installed in any harsh, outdoor environments. With the flexible DC input or Power over Ethernet (PoE) option, the WBS-512AC can be easily installed depending on the environmental condition.
Optimized Efficiency in AP Management
The brand-new GUI configuration wizard helps the system administrator easily set up the WBS-512AC step by step. Besides, the built-in Wi-Fi analyzer provides real-time channel utilization to prevent channel overlapping to assure greater performance. With the automatic transmission power mechanism, distance control and scheduling reboot setting, the WBS-512AC is easy for the administrator to deploy and manage without on-site maintenance. Moreover, you can use PLANET NMS-500 or NMS-1000V AP control function to deliver wireless profiles to multiple APs simultaneously, thus making the central management simple.
Long-distance Connection
PLANET WBS-512AC is specially designed for long-distance outdoor surveillance and wireless backhaul solutions that are capable of providing farther connection through the built-in 14dBi dual-polarity antenna. It supports MU-MIMO WAVE 2.0 that can offer the more powerful transmission speed for data rate. With multiple operation modes and adjustable Tx power, it is easy to install and adjust the suitable setting in appropriate locations. In the aspect of management, the traffic shaping and IEEE 802.1Q VLAN that the WBS-512AC features regulate network data transfer by delaying the flow of less important or less desired packets. Furthermore, the self-healing capability keeps connection alive all the time, thus reducing the maintenance effort and deployment cost.
