Laird Technologies CL400 wireless ethernet bridge

Laird Technologies has released its CL400 wireless ethernet bridge.

It is suitable for the M2M and industrial market by delivering a simple-to-use wireless ethernet bridge that extends the range of networks beyond the reach of traditional 802.11 access points.

Available with an AC power adapter, standard RJ45 ethernet jack and antennas, the device requires no configuration. Users can plug in their ethernet cable to apply power and have a wireless bridge at a distance up to 1.6 km and speeds up to 11 Mbps.

Optimised for point-to-point bridge connections, the starter pack is supplied preconfigured to communicate over a WPA2-CCMP encrypted secure 802.11 RF channel. The intelligent device will optimise link speeds according to the RF conditions and distances between the units.
