Please Note: The 4ipnet OWL410 Outdoor WiFi Access Point is End of Life.
4ipnet OWL410 Outdoor WiFi Access Point
The 4ipnet OWL410 is a 200mW Wi-Fi 802.11n/a device for long range wireless transmission. Its rugged IP68-rated metal housing is weatherproof, watertight and rust-resistant, making it an ideal solution for deployments in harsh conditions, such as outdoor or industrial environments.
OWL410 supports multiple operation modes (AP/Bridge/CPE) and works well as a last-mile solution for wireless ISPs (WISPs). When in AP mode, OWL410 operates as an AP station with wall-penetrating high-power signal and long-range coverage to better serve Wi-Fi clients. In addition, it can be set up as a WDS node by establishing multiple WDS links to bridge neighbor access points together.
Coming with business-class security, OWL410 in AP mode is also ideal for enterprise applications. Furthermore, one OWL410 with multiple SSIDs is capable of acting as multiple Virtual APs (VAPs). By tagging the traffic from each VAP with a unique VLAN ID, it allows for segmenting a corporate network using VLANs to protect critical resources.
When operating in CPE (Client) mode, it functions as a Wi-Fi modem gateway to receive wireless signal over the last-mile Internet feed from WISPs. The CPE’s bandwidth to the Internet can be assigned by the WISP.
Being a versatile Wi-Fi device, OWL410 does not limit itself to outdoor usage only. When managed by a 4ipnet Controller (such as the WHG-series), it performs as a Wi-Fi base station in either a public or private wireless access deployment.
