Wireless Ethernet Transmission

Industrially Hardened Wireless Ethernet Transmission

Power, Point and Play.

Power up and point the units and

start transmitting Ethernet.

The ComNet NetWave® line consists of an
easy, pre-packaged Point-to-Point kit that
contains everything you need to establish
remote connectivity to Ethernet edge devices.
Also available are Point-to-Multipoint models
that allow multiple client/camera/networked
edge device locations to connect to a single
access point.

NetWave® supports total throughput of 100,
240, or 500 Mbps in a single radio version and
up to 240 Mbps in the dual radio models. A
wide range of Ethernet devices are supported.
NetWave® is secure and uses encryption to
prevent unauthorized access to the network.
These industrially hardened units with Ethernet
Interfaces offer the option to be powered by a
PoE switch or a Midspan Power Injector.

NW1/NW2 Point-to-Multipoint

The NetWave® NW1 and NW2 user-configurable units can
be set up through the embedded User Interface as a Client
or as an Access Point. Available as region-specific models
for North America and Europe in both standard and small­size enclosures, these hardened point-to-multipoint models
allow multiple Ethernet endpoints to be connected to a
central Access Point. An easy to read LED array displays
unit operational status along with received signal strength
ensuring optimal installation and operation. These units may
be powered from an IEEE 802.3af PoE source.

NW9[E] Ultra-High Throughput, Impact-Resistant Wireless Ethernet

The NetWave® NW9[E] ultra-high throughput, impact-resistant
hardened wireless Ethernet transmission devices that can
be configured as a Client or as an Access Point. Simple to
deploy and cost-effective alternative to physical connections
to Ethernet edge equipment, this single radio model was
designed for high throughput point-to-point or multi-point
applications and comes standard with an integrated 19 dBi, 17º
beam-width antenna. The NW9[E] supports up to 500 Mbps
throughput using 802.11ac MIMO technology. The units can
be powered by an 802.3af/at PoE compliant device or through
a sold-separately PoE injector with the second Ethernet port
serving as an IEEE802.3at power source.

NW1DR[IC] High Throughput and Scalable Dual Radio Wireless Bridge

The NetWave® industrially hardened narrow bandwidth dual
wireless radio is used for redundant ring and drop & repeat
topologies when used with an external antenna. Radio 1 is
an internal antenna while radio 2 has dual connectors for
an external antenna. The wide range of channel spectrum
widths available on the NW1DR[IC] series of radios gives user
options for either high throughput or more non-overlapping
channel options commonly required for noisy or dense radio
deployments. Using the NW1DR[IC] will increase the number of
available non-overlapping channels while improving stability in
crowded RF environments. The NW1DR is FCC certified for use
in North America and the NW1DRIC is IC certified for Canada.

NWKSP(X) Solar Power for Wireless Ethernet

NetWave® Solar kits provide continuous 30 W remote power
to networked edge equipment, and include a high quality
photovoltaic solar panel, outdoor enclosure with gasketed
hinged door and tamper proof locks, power controller and
power injection module, all the mounting hardware and is
available with or without sealed lead acid batteries. The
equipment can be mounted to a four-to-six inch (ten-to-fifteen
centimeter) pole or to a wall with the included mounting
hardware. The included controller protects against overcharge
and over discharge while optional 220 Ah high performance
24 V batteries give the best available deep discharge and
temperature performance. Systems provide 48 V PoE output
with a 40 hour reserve time (including 25% battery derating for
moderately low temperatures).
