1 Introduction
The ALL02880ND is a high-powered, long-range dual-band concurrent wireless
802.11a/b/g/n access point with six major functional modes. It is designed to operate
in numerous environments from large homes, small and medium-sized businesses,
multiple-floor offices, hotels and other venues to larger enterprise deployments. Its
high-powered, long-range characteristics make it a cost-effective alternative to
ordinary access points that don’t have the range and reach to connect to a growing
number of wireless users who wish to connect to a large home or business network.
The ALL02880ND supports IEEE 802.11b/g/n standards in the 2.4GHz frequency band
while at the same time supporting IEEE 802.11a/n standards in the less congested
5GHz frequency band ideal for streaming or transferring other large files.
The ALL02880ND delivers up to 6x faster wireless speeds and 7x extended coverage
than legacy 802.11a/b/g wireless devices. Even though the ALL02880ND has been
designed and engineered for traffic heavy and demanding business environments it is
also quite at home in larger house scenarios because it efficiently extends the wireless
range of an existing home router, especially in very architecturally-challenging
structures to provide whole home connectivity.
To protect sensitive data during wireless transmissions, the ALL02880ND offers
different encryption settings for wireless transmissions including industry-standard
WPA and WPA2 encryption. The ALL02880ND also includes MAC address filtering to
allow network administrators to offer network access only to known computers and
other devices based on their MAC addresses.
