Introduction

Accton’s Cheetah Wireless 802.11a Access Point (WA5001) provides transparent, wireless high speed data communications for portable or mobile devices equipped with an 802.11a wireless adapter (such as the WN5301). These communications can be between the access point and the wired LAN, between the access point and the wireless network, or within the wireless network.

This offers fast, reliable wireless connectivity with considerable cost savings over wired LANs (which include long-term maintenance overhead for cabling). Using this 802.11a technology, the access point can easily integrate with the existing 10/100 Ethernet LAN.
