Funkwerk W2002 Access Point 54Mbit/s WLAN access point

W2002 Access Point The W2002 access point is manufactured environment friendly and are compliant to the RoHS directive. It supports the latest WLAN technology and have been designed for use in professional environments in particular.

Depending on the model, the access points are equipped with one or two radio modules and two or four antennas for antenna diversity for optimized coverage under heavy conditions, thus allowing them to meet a wide variety of requirements.

When using data of different applications it´s important to priorize some of them. The Wx002 series supports WMM (Wireless Multimedia), a technique to priorize certain data of applications like video or voice in order to provide maximum of transmission quality for time critical applications.

In addition to the WLAN standards 802.11b and 802.11g, these devices also support 802.11a as well as its European counterpart, the 802.11h, to enable a data throughput rate of up to 54 Mbps in the 5 GHz frequency range as well. This is particularly advisable for building bridge solutions in outdoor areas.

Furthermore, these products also support such modem processes as Multi SSID and VLAN, with which up to 16 virtual access points can be mapped per radio module. These access points can be secured one against the other, thus allowing guest access for customers, for example. Different security levels and encryption processes can be assigned to each SSID.

To ensure highest security, the devices support the 802.1x and 802.11i (WPA2) security standards. The systems can be reliably configured using SSH, SSL or alternatively via https (in preparation) as well. When used as bridges, the devices support the automatic bridge mode and are able to secure bridge connections with the help of TKIP and AES encryption.

As a result of the increasing number of applications using such wireless transmission technologies as DECT, GSM, UMTS or wireless LAN, users have become more sensitive to the topic of possible health hazards or negative effects on other applications. Different to mobile communications, however, there is considerably less energy radiated by WLAN and any radiation values are far below the legally regulated limits. In addition, the distance between the user and the transmission antenna is usually much greater than for a mobile telephone, for example.

In the medical sector, the requirements for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) are much stricter than in the home or industrial environment; in this field, it is particularly important that technical devices do not interfere with or negatively affect each other. These requirements are described in the EN60601 standard.

The W2002 products fully comply with the EN 60601-1-2 (Medical electrical equipment - Part 1-2: General requirements for safety - Collateral standard: Electromagnetic compatibility - Requirements and tests) and EN 60950 (Information technology equipment - Safety - Part 1: General requirements). This means that they have been approved for use in medical environments.
