These modems feature market-leading receiver sensitivity down
to -110dBm (market average is -93 dBm). The FCC restricts the
power of all radio modems’ output, so it is receiver sensitivity
that governs how well a radio modem system works. This
range and reliability, at lower prices, sets these modems apart
from their competition.

The AWK-1100-US can be configured as an Access Point
ridge or Client. A rugged, IP30, DIN rail mountable case and
B
dual power inputs make this product a perfect fit for industrial
applications. Class 1 Div 2 is also a favorite feature for the oil
and gas industry. Each unit includes two 2dBi antennas.
The AWK-1200 series is sold either as a Bridge or as a Client.
These products have superior weather resistance with the IP67
and IP68 case ratings and are mountable to a mast or panel
mountable (both mounting options are included with each
radio). A PoE connection is required to power these Access
Points. The Access Point Bridge AWK-1200-AP-US includes two
5dBi antennas while the Access Point Client AWK-1200-AC-US
includes one internal 9dBi antenna.
Bridge vs Client Modes
Bridge Mode allows one-to-many while Client Mode allows
one-to-one. Networks are typically set up with an Access Point
Bridge at the main, hard-wired Ethernet connection and the
peripheral Access Points will be set up as Clients. In this
particular case, the Clients are set up in Infrastructure Mode.
Another way to use Clients is in Ad-hoc Mode, which allows
two Clients to communicate one-to-one.

Three Easy Steps to Successful Cellular
Data Communications
1. Understand your application
2. Select the hardware that best suits your needs
3. Activate the hardware with a cellular data plan
Overview
The Connect WAN family of commercial-grade wireless WAN
cellular routers, gateways and VPN appliances provide secure
high-speed wireless connectivity to remote sites and devices.
These cellular products selected by B&B Electronics can be
used for reliable primary wireless network connectivity to
equipment at remote locations, as well as for a backup to
existing land-line communications. Ideal where wired networks
(e.g., leased line/frame relay, ISDN, DSL) are not feasible.
Optional Connectware Manager software management suite
provides easy setup, configuration, and maintenance of large
installations. Users can upgrade firmware, or change settings
on thousands of devices with only a few clicks. It makes troubleshooting simple by identifying rogue devices, or network
issues. A five-user license per site is included with the Connect
WAN products. Contact B&B Electronics for larger license
requirements.

decrease receive sensitivity. If obstacles are present, you may
consider a higher gain antenna.
Cable Type. Selecting the incorrect cable could cause
significant signal loss. A rule of thumb is for every 3db of loss,
your system will lose one half the output power emitted from

The wrong type, wrong impedance, wrong length, etc., and
your system could go south quick. When selecting RF coax
type cable keep cable runs as short as possible. Long cable
runs will cause additional signal loss.
Antenna Selection…
The same rule applies for the gain of an antenna: for every 3db
of gain, you will double the effective radiated power out of the
respective antenna. A gain of 8.1db using a 100wm radio is
approximately 270mw of output power. (Keep in mind we

have not included any cable or connector losses.)
When selecting an antenna also keep in mind the type of
system architecture. Simple systems, such as peer-to-peer, can
be easily designed using Yagi antennas on both ends. A multipeer system, such as a Modbus master to several slave devices,
needs a little more thought. When designing a multi-peer
system the master needs to communicate to all the respective
slave devices. This is typically accomplished by designing an
