EnGenius EnStation5 Outdoor Long-Range Ethernet Bridge; N300 5 GHz

Overview:

The
EnStation5 is a 5 GHz High-Powered, Long-Distance Wireless N300 Outdoor
AP/Client Bridge with a high-gain 19 dBi dual-polarization internal
directional antenna ideal for Point-to-Point deployments up to 4 miles.
It includes two (2) Fast Ethernet ports and is housed in an IP55-rated
waterproof housing to maintain robust performance even in harsh
environments. Its dedicated 5 GHz frequency band avoids access points
and client devices on the more congested 2.4 GHz frequency making it a
smart solution for streaming video data for IP Cameras monitoring
parking lots and it includes an additional Fast Ethernet Port (LAN 2)
to connect a camera for this type of application.

Going
The Distance. EnGenius EnStations are Outdoor Wireless Access Points
that feature high 26 dBm output power and high receive sensitivity
coupled with embedded high-gain directional antennas that emit a narrow
signal beam to deliver robust and stable connectivity over extremely
long distances â up to 4 miles in clear line-of-sight point-to-point
deployments! EnStations, therefore, are ideal for:

• extending networks in large campus venues;
• over extensive acreage in industrial, farming or
  ranching properties;
• in massive indoor structures like arenas, shopping
  malls, warehouses, convention centers;
• connecting to digital signage;
• or even in more urban environments where there is clear
  line-of-sight between the EnStation and another Access Point; or
  between two EnStation units of the same frequency band.

WISP
Scenarios. EnStations can be used in Client Bridge mode and pointed to
a Wireless Internet Service Providerâs base station making them ideal
CPE (Customer Premise Equipment) that can generate recurring revenue
for Internet providers. The compact form factor of EnStation also make
it acceptable to many homeowners association because they are barely
noticeable and unobtrusive additions to home exteriors and usually
within the guidelines of a planned communityâs architectural standards.

Longer
connectivity distances can be achieved when two EnStation units of the
same frequency band are paired together in a Point-to-Point (PtP)
deployment, and aligning their respective dish-shaped antennas to be
directly facing each other so each gets the full impact of the more
focused narrow wireless single beam.

EnStation5
supports three (3) operation modes â Access Point, Client Bridge, and
WDS Bridge mode. This flexibility makes EnStation5 a versatile solution
for IT managers who may need to update or reconfigure their deployments
as the needs of their network change.

Each
EnStation includes a proprietary PoE injector (EPE-1212) to supply
power for the unit while at the same time providing a data connection
over the same Ethernet cable. This is especially useful for deployments
where a power outlet for the AP/Client Bridge may be scarce or
unavailable, for example under the eaves of roofs, or high on light
poles.

EnStations
are easy to install in virtually any location and their internal
electronics have been mounted in an IP55-rated enclosure, one of the
highest waterproof and dustproof ratings available, designed to
withstand extremely harsh environmental conditions including severe and
prolonged exposure to sunlight, extreme cold, frost, snow, rainfall,
hail and humidity. These protective measures make EnStations ideal
outdoor wireless solutions for virtually any locale or any venue
including ski and beach resorts, or desert resort communities.

EnStation5
also employs advanced QoS (Quality of Service) to prioritize
bandwidth-intensive applications like video streaming or bandwidth
sensitive applications like VoIP (Voice over IP) telephone calls for
optimal connectivity.

With
EnGeniusâ EZ Controllerâ Management Software, units that have already
been deployed on rooftops or other difficult to access locations and
other EnGenius Client Bridges in the network can be reconfigured to a
different operational mode or upgraded remotely without having to
manually reconnect to them or re-install them onsite.
