Building-to-Building Bridge
High Performance
The 3Com
Wireless LAN Building-to-
®
Building Bridge delivers three to four
times the bandwidth of T1 links, and
works at distances up to 15 miles*.
Connection Flexibility
This bridge supports one-to-one as
well as one-to-many (point-to-point or
multipoint) topologies, for maximum
flexibility in configuring building-to-
building networks.
Traffic Prioritization
When used together with a switch from
the 3Com SuperStack
®
3 Switch 4400
family, the 3Com Wireless LAN
Building-to-Building Bridge lets users
set up traffic prioritization parameters to
optimize data flow between buildings.
Multivendor Interoperability
Unlike systems that use proprietary
protocols, this bridge is compatible
with all other Wi-Fi-certified access
points, so it fits easily within a multi-
vendor infrastructure.
Economy
The 3Com Wireless LAN Building-to-
Building Bridge is easy to cost-justify,
The 3Com Wireless LAN Building-to-
Building Bridge lets businesses
replace expensive, low-bandwidth T1
lines and cable connections with
wireless building-to-building links.
The bridge allows companies to start
with point-to-point topologies, then
advance to point-to-multipoint as
*15-mile range requires 3Com Wireless LAN Building-to-Building Bridges on both buildings; used with a non-3Com bridge, the operating range of the
3Com Wireless LAN Building-to-Building Bridge is 2 miles.
**Data throughput can vary depending on several factors, including network traffic load, distance between bridges, and antennas used.
because it delivers fast return-on-
investment. And it's economical to
operate, since it avoids the recurring
costs of T1 or cable equipment.
Strong Security
Support for 40- and 128-bit WEP
encryption, as well as 128 bit
Dynamic Security Link encryption;
keeps network data and transmissions
safe from security breaches.
Standards Compliance
In addition to its Wi-Fi compatibility,
the bridge supports IEEE 802.11b for
11 Mbps wireless transmission** plus
802.3af for power over Ethernet.
Manageability
A simple-to-use, web-based manage-
ment interface lets administrators
choose between managing all bridges
locally, from any point on the subnet,
or remotely, via the Internet.
Reliability
Support for dynamic rate shifting helps
keep network connections available.
growth and applications demand—all
with a simple antenna change.
In large companies, the bridge fits
within centralized management archi-
tectures, thanks to its interoperability
with all multivendor bridges and access
points that support the Wi-Fi standard.
