6.6Area Intranets

Community buildings such as schools, city halls, gyms, etc., can be connected by Buffalo’s wireless LAN system to form an area Intranet. Buffalo offers the most effective wireless solution for building-to-building applications. There is no need for costly and time-consuming installations of fiber optics and cables between buildings. Additions to and expansion of the wireless network are simple and flexible. Using Buffalo’s wireless solution within the building provides additional freedom and quick data deploy- ment/configuration changes to network systems.

7.1PoE - Power over Ethernet

PoE based on the IEEE802.3af specification, draft 2.0, provides power in a CAT5 cable, thus eliminating the need to use a separate power supply cable. It must be used with Buffalo’s supply adapter WLE-POE-S (sold separately) as shown below. With PoE, the user can locate a WLM2-G54 anywhere without the need for a power outlet nearby.
