The NetWave industrially hardened wireless Ethernet transmission link can be configured through the embedded User Interface as a Client or as an Access Point. This point-to-multipoint model allows multiple Ethernet endpoints to be connected to a central Access Point. Up to 15 endpoints can be linked to a central access point. The NW1 and NW2 support up to 95Mbps throughput using MIMO technology. The units can be powered by an IEEE 802.3af/at PoE compliant device or through the supplied power injection module. The NW1 is FCC certified for use in North America and the NW2 is ETSI, DFS and TPC certified for use in the European Union.
