Cisco WET200 Wireless-G Business Ethernet Bridge
Cisco Small Business Access Points

High-Speed Wireless Bridging for Small Businesses with Multiple Locations

Highlights

●

Securely connects separate wired networks spanning different locations

●

Connects to Power over Ethernet devices, simplifying installation and eliminating the need
for and cost of installing external power supplies

●

Increases wireless throughput and range and reduces “dead spots” in the wireless
coverage area with RangeBooster technology

●

Protects business information with enhanced security and advanced encryption

Product Overview

The Cisco® WET200 Wireless-G Business Ethernet Bridge (Figure 1) transparently bridges
separate Ethernet networks together wirelessly and is ideal for small businesses with offices and
resources that are in different office suites of a building or in closely adjacent buildings. The
WET200 is a Power over Ethernet (PoE) end device, so it can be installed anywhere an Ethernet
cable can be run if there is no ready access to a power outlet. PoE enables delivery of both data
and power to the Cisco WET200. An AC adapter is also included for use if the device installation
site has a power outlet nearby.

Advanced security features include Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA2) with up to 256-bit Advanced
Encryption Standard (AES) encryption using Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP), giving small
businesses the protection they need to communicate and transfer data securely. The integrated
quality of service (QoS) features provide consistent voice and video quality on both the wired and

wireless networks, enabling the deployment of business-quality voice over IP (VoIP) and video
applications.

Additional support for VLANs, Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), Spanning Tree
Protocol, and port mirroring make this an ideal solution for network administrators to incorporate
into larger organizations.

RangeBooster technology is a compatible add-on to standard Wireless-G that nearly doubles the
wireless signal range and increases throughput by up to 35 percent. Unlike ordinary wireless
technologies that are hampered by signal reflections, RangeBooster devices use smart antennas
and embedded processors to detect and decode reflected signals to enhance and boost data
throughput. This capability also helps to reduce or eliminate “dead spots” within the wireless
coverage area.
