Introduction
Introduction
The Vivato Wi-Fi AP/Bridge is a two channel unlicensed (FCC Part 15) wireless device operating in
the 2.4 GHz Industrial/Scientific/Instrumentation (ISM) band, providing network connections to Wi-Fi
(IEEE 802.11b) client devices.
The Vivato Wi-Fi AP/Bridge, as part of the Vivato Wi-Fi System, replaces previous micro cellular style
Wi-Fi deployments, while providing the highest level of wireless security and system management.
The Wi-Fi AP/Bridge allows point-to-multipoint packet transmission to client devices through standard
2.0 dBi antennas. The integrated radio cards have a higher transmit power (200mW) than most
conventional Access Points. This design allows one Wi-Fi AP/Bridge to provide high bit rate network
coverage to larger spaces requiring Wi-Fi coverage.
The Vivato Wi-Fi AP/Bridge is intended solely for indoor use, but can be combined with either version
of the Vivato Wi-Fi Base Station (indoor or outdoor) to provide Wi-Fi service in almost any
environment.
