Introduction

Overview

The AWK-1200 Access Point/Bridge and AP Client is ideal for applications that are hard to wire, too expensive to wire, or use mobile equipment that connects to a TCP/IP network. The AWK-1200 series is rated to operate at temperatures ranging from -20 to 70°C, and its weatherproof design allows you to set up a WLAN, or extend existing wired networks to outdoor locations. In addition, you do not need to worry about setting up a power supply for outdoor applications, since the AWK-1200’s PoE (Power over Ethernet) design makes it easy to deploy.
