1 Introduction
The ERA150 is a high-powered, long-range wall mount wireless 802.11b/g/n access point with two major functional
modes. The ERA150 was 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 ERA150 delivers up to 3x faster wireless speeds and 7x extended coverage than legacy 802.11b/g wireless devices.
Even though the ERA150 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 ERA150 offers different encryption settings for wireless
transmissions including industry-standard WPA and WPA2 encryption. The ERA150 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.
