DUAL BAND ACCESS POINT

54 Mbps AirPort Extreme, based on the cutting-edge IEEE 802.11g wireless draft specification, delivers nearly five times the bandwidth of the 802.11b standard. The new AirPort Extreme Base Station can serve up to 50 Mac and Windows users simultaneously. It comes with everything from wireless printing to a USB or Ethernet printer to power tools for administrators, and starts at $199.

Compatible with 802.11b
AirPort Extreme delivers higher speeds for customers who have both the AirPort Extreme Card and the AirPort Extreme Base Station. But if you want to use the AirPort Extreme Base Station with your 802.11b AirPort Card, you’ll still enjoy significant benefits. That’s because the AirPort Extreme Base Station features a compatibility mode that automatically supports not just the AirPort Extreme Card, but all 802.11b-compliant products — Mac or Windows — as its default setting. The AirPort Extreme Card works with 802.11b-based public hot spots and with 802.11b wireless networks in schools, offices and hotels.

A High Gain Parabolic Horn Fed Dish (1200mm) and High Gain 16dBi Omni-Directional WLAN SERVER antenna <HOT 16> combination.

Local area connections from mobiles to the 16dBi omni are 5 to 16 times the normal range*.

This antenna with a dual antenna bridging access point such as the Intel 2011 enables point to point interlinking ("bridging") between amateur radio licenced nodes to over 35 km with the dish to omni...

Even further range is possible dish to dish with a combined gain of over 60dB... (Megawatt EIRP)..

The Intel 2011B has built in transmit power regulation so that this antenna equipment can be legally used in the U.K. for LICENCE EXEMPT nodes... No benefit is then possible for mobiles but using reciprocal technology, fixed stations with 60cms (2 ft) dishes can access the omni at 10 times normal range and the dish can connect to another (EIRP compliant) dish up to 30 times the normal range*.

Normal range* = Using normally supplied compliant antenna (0dBi) e.g. 100 to 300 metres at 11Mb/sec

Total cost of complete node as shown: Less than GBP £1000

Conversion of FAU to WAP11

Atlantic Telecom provided a public telephone service in Glasgow using a 2.4Ghz wireless system developed by Tadiran / InnoWave. Subscribers were provided with Fixed Access Units (FAU's) which came in two flavours, voice and 'data'. The voice model provided two standard voice lines, and the 'data' model provided one high-bandwidth voice line for V.90 modems. The FAU's were mounted to the roofs and walls of buildings, and pointed in the direction of the nearest 'base station' with line-of-sight.

Unfortunately, Atlantic went bust. A bit of guesswork suggests the electronics in the FAU's were only capable of 64k data speeds, which is not very useful for bridging LAN's. Instead, we make use of the excellent weatherproof casing, and the flat-panel antenna. Two such FAU's were obtained for experimentation, and the results were pleasing.

For our trial, we used the Linksys WAP11 Wireless Access Point. It comes with RPTNC connectors on the back panel, which seem to be almost impossible to source, so the first thing to do is remove the circuit from it's plastic case. Remember this will invalidate your warranty etc etc... The RPTNC's are connected to the transceiver on short patch leads, terminating in MMCX plugs which connect to what resembles a PCMCIA card with big ears. These patch leads can be pulled out. We cut the RPTNC connectors off these leads, and soldered the loose end directly to the antenna circuit board.

WARNING: Don't try this unless you have some electric clue. 12v isn't going to kill you, but you may cause serious damage to your access point and other equipment. Don't blame me if something goes wrong. I'm not an eletrical engineering major, I'm just a networking guy who wanted cheap PoE modules, and decided to write about how I did it. Also there is no set standard (as of 03/19/02) as to which pairs get the positive power, and which pairs get the negative power. Measure your equipment carefully so you don't damage it.

A number of Access Point manufacturers (Lucent, Symbol) are now offering Power over Ethernet add-on's for their Access Points. A PoE module inserts DC voltage into the unused wires in a standard ethernet cable (pairs 7-8 and 4-5). The idea is to supply the AP's power and UTP ethernet connectivity requirements via a single ethernet cable. This works great in areas where you may not have power and/or ethernet easily accessible, like a roof. This also allows you to more easily place the AP closer to the antenna, thus reducing signal loss over antenna cabling. Ethernet signal travels well over CAT 5 cable; 2.4ghz signal doesn't do as well over antenna cabling. Also ethernet cabling is much cheaper than antenna (LMR-400) cabling. There are currently two types of PoE adapters: a module jack or hub-like device for multiple access points. The following hack creates a simple PoE module pair.

Toshiba SG20 LINUX SERVER

Toshiba's Computer Systems Group (Irvine, CA) recently introduced the Magnia SG20 wireless mobility server, a compact, Linux-based portable wireless server. About the size of a typical notebook computer, the appliance-like device is intended to make it easy to pack up an entire network and take it on the road. Described by Toshiba as a "wireless network in a box that allows users to securely access and share files, printers, and an Internet account," the Magnia SG20 is targeted toward small and medium-sized offices, mobile consultants, remote offices in large organizations, home offices, and other applications needing mobile networking capability.

By simply adding a wireless PC Card, the Magnia SG20 seamlessly connects wireless-enabled devices using Wi-Fi technology (802.11b) without the need for an external 'wireless access point'. The system offers a number of other useful server features, including web caching, content filtering, backup, email services, and remote administration. Configurable firewall protection guards against unwanted intrusion over the Internet, and the device also provides a virtual private network (VPN) feature which offers secure access to authorized users when connecting from offsite locations.

Internally, the Magnia SG20 is based on an Intel 566MHz Celeron processor with up to 512MB ECC SDRAM (128MB is standard). The system comes with one or two 2.5-inch EIDE 15GB or 30GB hard drive (both drives must be of equal capacity). A simple status display is built directly into the device; it consists of a 2-line by 16-character backlit LCD, along with a scroll button.

The Intel PRO/Wireless 2011 LAN

Bridging Access Point

REVIEWED at:-

http://www.digit-life.com/articles/intelwireless/

The Intel PRO/Wireless 2011 LAN Access Point functioning as a wireless hub makes connections between an existing wired network and wireless devices. A number of units may also serves as bridges connecting two or more existing wired networks together via a RJ45 ethernet connector. In addition, the access point can act as a repeater, passing along transmission from one access point to another, creating a wireless "daisy chain" backbone and connecting hard-to-reach areas. A RS232 serial port provides telephone modem support enabling simple gateway to dial up services as well as remote administration.

Intel wireless access points are simple to install, since they ship with a site survey tool to assist in proper placement for desired coverage and performance. IT administrators can manage and monitor the network of access points remotely via standard web browser.

Intel® PRO/Wireless 2011 LAN products deliver up to 11Mbps of throughput performance 

These are well built and offer multirole, high performance - ed.

SVC WLAP

11Mbps Wireless LAN

Access Point / Bridge

The SVEC WLAP is an ATMEL based AP, essentially (but not exactly) the same as the Linksys WAP11, DLink 900AP, SMC MC2655W and the Netgear ME102.
There are two models floating around (V2 and V3), both essentially the same on the inside (afaik), but the V2 having RP-SMA? connectors externally, and the V3 having "permenantly" attached diversity antennas.
The latest development release 1.3.3-pre3 of ap-utils now fully supports the ATMEL12350, the chipset used in the SVEC FD1811

This is a survey of currently available wireless RF modem products suitable for wireless LAN and MAN . includes only those products which are suitable for unlicenced operation in the ISM bands: 900 MHz (902-928 MHz), 2.4 GHz  (2400-2483.5 MHz) and 5.8 GHz (5725-5850MHz).  Some of these products are intended for very short range wireless applications, while others are designed to be  used as longer-haul point-to-point wireless bridges, and some can be used in either role. This survey covers only complete wireless modem products 
(i.e., plug-in cards or standalone units). It does not cover 
chip sets, amplifiers, etc.
