Description
The Wireless Repeater is used to bridge gaps or strengthen signals of our WiMAC mesh network The Ethernet Gateway is used as a communication point to expand controller communication to additional buildings. Build out a stronger wireless mesh network. Repeat the signal between WiMAC wireless door controllers where the signal may be weak. The ProdataKey Wireless Repeater is “plug ‘n play” and is used to extend the range of the wireless signal in areas where signal strength is weak, the signal often drops unexpectedly, or the signal needs to travel long distances between controllers. The repeater runs on the same frequency as our controllers, which is 2.4 GHz on the 802.15.4 channel. Wireless Repeaters become part of the wireless network and connect with each other or directly to an access control panel, door controller, or Cloud Node. A site ID and passphrase can be assigned to the repeater for exclusive use by a door controller or a Cloud Node. It features a one-mile perfect line-of-sight range, and a 450 ft. average for indoor applications. It is also AES 128-bit encrypted, meeting government-level security requirements.
Wireless Network
A mesh network is a local network topology in which the wireless infrastructure nodes connect dynamically and non-hierarchically to as many other nodes as possible. They cooperate with one another to efficiently route data from and/or to other wireless nodes. Nodes are radio transmitters that function the same as a wireless router. In a wireless network, only one node needs to be physically wired to a network connection. That one wired node then shares its connection wirelessly with all other nodes in its vicinity. To be most effective, each node should be at least 20 ft. apart from any other wireless node access points.
