WAC502G-L3 | WAC502G-L8
The WAC502G-L3 is a high-performance, long-distance wireless bridge, designed for fast and reliable connectivity. It features high transmit power and a built-in 15dBi high-gain dual polarization antenna, providing a point-to-point transmission distance of up to 3KM. While WAC502G-L8 features a built-in 18dbi high gain antenna of up to 8KM. The WAC502G series equips Qualcomm 802.11ac wave 2 chip for point to point connectivity, supports up to 865Mbps peak rate. With passive 24V PoE power input and a one-key master/slave pairing setting, installation is made simple. The wireless security includes WPA/WPA2 encryption, Virtual AP and wireless user isolation, along with CPE list and ping test tool to check PTP connectivity status. Its compact size, wide operating temperature, IP65 housing and Level 3 ESD/Surge protection (6K contact, 8K air, surge 2K/4K) ensure durability in various environments. It's ideal for lite industrial applications in city surveillance, remote site connectivity and monitoring, factory to factory, roadside and outdoor site installation.
Point to point and Point to Multiple point
WAC502G supports Point to Point WDS modes. Users can easily configure one as Master (AP mode), and the other as slave (CPE/Repeater) mode for establishing a point to point connection. With 2-Steps Configuration Design, WAC502G provides a very simple solution for extending wireless range.Step1: Master and Slave Bridge Configuration
A convenient Switch button allows user to change between AP(Master) and Site(Slave) modes easily. To configure one WAC502G as the Master, simply set the switch button to “M”. For the second WA502G, switch it to “S” to designate it as the salve.
Step 2: One-Key Pairing
There is a reset button design for one-key pairing between the Master and Slave units.
After switching to the Master AP and Slave AP modes, press and hold the reset button for 2-5 seconds, then release it on both devices.
After switching M/S mode to Master AP and Slave AP, then press Reset button 2-5 seconds and release in both Master AP and Slave AP. The 2 wireless bridge will automatically pair within 2 minutes. Then the point to point connection is built.
To connect additional Slave APs in point to multiple point configuration, repeat the above operation to pair more Slave APs. The Master and new Slave APs will pair within 2 minutes.
Long Range Wireless Connectivity without bandwidth lost
The WAC502G is equipped with two Ethernet ports, which can be used in Bridge modes. When two APs are connected through Ethernet ports, it means there is no loss of bandwidth due to wireless data transmission, and the bandwidth remains the same when transferring data from one pair of APs to the opposite side.When you need to transmit data across multiple sites to achieve longer distances, this is an ideal method for achieving high-bandwidth wireless backhaul. In comparison to MESH or Repeater modes, those modes share bandwidth at each hop, resulting in significantly lower bandwidth after 3-4 hops.
