For immediate release
Hong Kong, Jan 25, 2006 – PePLink, a leader in manufacturing and marketing broadband
devices, integrated solutions and embedded platforms, today introduced
a municipal Wi-Fi networking solution with frequency operation at
900MHz and transmit power at 700mW to highly enhance the wireless
coverage. The solution consists of a multi-SSID advanced access point –
PePLink PolePoint UltraPower 9 and a secure Wi-Fi Customer Premise
Equipment (CPE) - PePLink Surf UltraPower 9.
PePLink's
PolePoint UltraPower 9 and Surf UltraPower 9 offer incredible range
advantage over 802.11 solutions at 2.4 or 5GHz in obstructive
environment and at the same time support the feature sets of 802.11
standards. The devices are equipped with the SuperRange 9 – from
Ubiquiti Networks.
"By
supporting 900MHz with 700mW transmit power, PolePoint UltraPower 9 and
Surf UltraPower 9 can help the WISP to implement a citywide wireless
network where obstacles like tall buildings weaken the signal strength
while using standard 802.11 frequency operation," said Alex Chan,
Managing Director of PePLink. "The initial investment and ownership
cost can be dramatically reduced by deploying much fewer numbers of
access points in the field."
Other
than 900MHz, the PePLink PolePoint and Surf series also operates at
802.11a/b/g frequency. Featuring multiple SSID, the PePLink PolePoint
can masquerade up to 16 access points on a single platform. Each access
point can be configured with its own security policy (WEP, WPA-PSK,
WPA-Enterprise, 802.1x with Dynamic WEP) and authentication mechanism.
This enables the separation of Virtual LAN (VLAN) based on security and
performance requirements.
The
PePLink Surf connects wireless WAN to Ethernet LAN. It provides 802.1x
supplicant services as a network termination, and delivers a clear
demarcation point to the end user. With the secure authentication and
data encryption, WISP can gain competitive advantage by offering
industry standard for secure access.
