The OWL400 is a 200mW Wi-Fi 802.11n/a device for long
range wireless
transmission. Its rugged IP68-rated metal housing is weatherproof,
watertight and rust-resistant, making it an ideal solution for
deployments in harsh conditions, such as outdoor or industrial
environments. OWL400 supports multiple operation modes (AP/Bridge/CPE)
and works well as a last-mile solution for wireless ISPs (WISPs). When
in AP mode, OWL400
operates as an AP station with wall-penetrating high-power signal and
long-range coverage to better serve Wi-Fi clients. In addition, it can
be set up as a WDS node by establishing multiple WDS
links to bridge neighbor
access points together.
Coming with business-class security, OWL400 in AP mode is also ideal
for enterprise applications. Furthermore, one OWL400 with multiple SSIDs
is capable of acting as multiple Virtual APs (VAPs). By tagging the
traffic from each VAP with a unique VLAN ID, it allows for segmenting a
corporate network using VLANs to protect critical resources.
When operating in CPE
(Client) mode, it functions as a Wi-Fi modem gateway to receive
wireless signal over the last-mile Internet feed from WISPs. The CPE’s
bandwidth to the Internet can be assigned by the WISP.
Being a versatile Wi-Fi device, OWL400 does not limit itself to
outdoor usage only. When managed by a 4ipnet Controller (such as the WHG-series),
it performs as a Wi-Fi base station in either a public or private
wireless access deployment.
