Overview of the WA7500 Access Family
Allied Telesyn’s AT-WA7500 access point delivers reliable and seamless
wireless performance to almost any operational environment. They are
designed for standards-based connectivity and they support industry
standard IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11a wireless technologies.
An AT-WA7500 with an IEEE 802.11b radio installed is Wi-Fi certified for
interoperability with other 802.11b wireless LAN devices.
An AT-WA7500 with an IEEE 802.11a radio installed is Wi-Fi certified for
interoperability with other 802.11a wireless LAN devices.
The access point can be configured as an access point or as a point-to-
point or point-to-multipoint bridge. Normally, an access point is
connected to a wired Local Area Network (LAN) and provides network
access for wireless end devices. A point-to-point bridge connects two
wired LANs and is often used to provide wireless communications in
locations where running cable is difficult, such as across roads or
between buildings. A point-to-multipoint bridge not only connects two
wired LANs, but also communicates with wireless end devices.
