| EOC 3220 (standard) Arrives The first shipments of the EOC-3220 outdoor access point/client bridge arrived this week. This is the outdoor version of ECB-3220. The EOC-3220 (standard) comes with an integrated 9dBi panel antenna. The EOC-3220 EXT with a reverse polarity SMA connector and the EOC-3220 Plus with an integrated 16dBi panel antenna are expected later in July. |

 SRC PCMCIA Adapter
The 300mW SRC PCMCIA Cardbus client adapter card is now available from HauteSpot Networks. Based on the Atheros AR5004 chipset and boasting extremely high transmit and receive gain, this card is ideal for applications like laptops in emergency service vehicles, in RVs or aboard boats. The MMCX type antenna connectors allow for attachment of a variety of antennas from the 2402-0-VMMCX clip on antenna to mobile mount antennas to high gain fixed antennas. With drivers for Windows, Linux or BSD, the cards are highly compatible and easy to configure. |

| EnGenius ECB-3220 Next Generation High Power Access Point/Bridge Review | |
 |
by Bob Ehlers We received the first early shipments of the new ECB-3220 802.11b/g access point. This product has some impressive specifications and we were very anxious to prove that it was ready to be sold and stable for deployment. The ECB-3220 is the successor to the EL-3054CB3+ and also shares internal componentry and firmware with the soon to be released EOC-3220 outdoor access point/bridge. The key features that set the ECB-3220 apart from other access points/bridges on the market are its transmit power of 26dBm or 400mW, it's receive sensitivity of -95dB, security support for WPA (Wireless Protected Access) and WPA2, support for WMM (Wireless Multi Media) quality of service management, and SNMP (simple network management protocol) manageability. With the arrival of this new powerhouse, enterprises, service providers and consumers should be able to greatly extend their range of coverage without the need for repeaters or adding additional access points for coverage. The receive senstivity of this unit allows it to "hear" weak client computers at distances far greater than anything else on the market, while the transmit gain allows the unit to be "heard" by clients that may not have very good receive sensitivity. Combine this with improved security which protects your network from hackers and we should have a really great solution. But do we? Read More... |

| Non Line Of Sight Wireless Using 900Mhz | |
 |
With the availability of the HR-WRAPDX-9 and HR-IXP-SXP-9 products, which both support 900Mhz broadband operation, Non Line of Sight broadband becomes possible. But what are the realities? 900Mhz operation is achieved through the down-conversion of OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 802.11g 2.4 GHz signals from the Atheros AR5004 chipset to 900MHz. The second stage amplifier/down-converter maintains full bandwidth and amplifies the transmit signal to 28dBm or 631mW. The radio module appears to our HauteRouterOS operating system as a 2.4GHz radio. In the HauteRouterOSng operating system, we have corrected this so that our management interface shows true values for the radio. Read More... |

| Tech Corner | |

Question: "Given all the options for operating frequencies of the HauteSpot Networks products, which one should I choose for my application?" Answer:"It depends..." Obviously, if you are trying to offer public access "hot spot" services, then you need to stick with 2.4GHz IEEE 802.11b/g. But if you are trying to link two buildings together, create a backhaul network, operate a private network, or deliver WISP services, then 900MHz and 5GHz are certainly options. Read More... |
