Overview the Product
Introduction
NetPassage WPE53G is a high-performance and low-cost
IEEE802.11b/g Access Point using the latest AR5007 technology.
NetPassage WPE53G is also very small compared to other Access
Points in the market. Using Atheros System-on-Chip (SoC) solution,
WPE53G supports high-speed data transmission of up to 54Mbps or 108
Mbps. Moreover, Power-over-Ethernet support enables NetPassage
WPE53G to be used even in areas without readily-available power
outlets.
NetPassage WPE53G complements devices supporting multiple virtual
AP connections by directing each to a separate secure virtual LAN.
Each VLAN can be secured with different wireless encryption methods,
providing the security connections necessary for enterprise networks.
NetPassage WPE53G also incorporates features that are useful to
system integrators, such as Antenna Alignment for adjusting your
antenna to optimize performance, Syslog for event logging, as well as
Telnet/SSH for easy device management.
