About the ProSAFE Dual Band Wireless-N Access Point
WNDAP360
The ProSAFE Dual Band Wireless-N Access Point WNDAP360 is the basic building block of
a wireless LAN infrastructure. It provides 2.4 GHz 802.11b/g/n and 5 GHz 802.11a/n
connectivity between wired Ethernet networks and radio-equipped wireless notebook
systems, desktop systems, print servers, and other devices.
The wireless access point provides wireless connectivity to multiple wireless network devices
within a fixed range or area of coverage—interacting with a wireless network interface card
(NIC) through an antenna. Typically, an individual in-building wireless access point provides
a maximum connectivity area of about a 500-foot radius. The ProSAFE Dual Band
Wireless-N Access Point WNDAP360 can support a small group of users—typically 10 to 32
users per radio—in a range of several hundred feet, with a maximum of 64 supported clients.
The ProSAFE Dual Band Wireless-N Access Point WNDAP360 acts as a bridge between the
wired LAN and wireless clients. Connecting multiple wireless access points through a wired
Ethernet backbone can further increase the wireless network coverage. As a mobile
computing device moves out of the range of one wireless access point, it moves into the
