KBC Networks, manufacturer of IP, wireless and fibre optic transmission equipment for commercial and industrial networks, has announced a new development in its wireless range.
The transmission product firm has launched the WES3 wireless Ethernet series. This replaces KBC’s II generation wireless products. It comes in a new, compact format and with user-selectable firmware. That means that with one common unit, installers are now able to select the device configuration, as either client/station or host/AP mode for both point-to-point and point-to-multipoint links. The aim is to make installation easier and more flexible, and to reduce customers’ stock-holding and cost. Customers can now build a point-to-point wireless bridge, a more complex point-to-multipoint wireless network or mixed configurations, all with one common unit, KBC says.
The first in the new 3 series products provides throughput of up to 99Mbps in the licence-free 5GHz band. For high throughput applications, KBC’s HT range delivers 230Mpbs+ throughput (400Mbps aggregate). All of the KBC wireless ranges are compatible and all come with free design assistance and technical support.
