eless solution for harsh
outdoor environments where conventional Wi-Fi access points or wireless
bridges cannot be deployed. The Aruba 80SB & MB are dual-radio 802.11a/
b/g access points with wireless backhaul capability that can also function
as secure WDS point to point or point to multi-point bridges. Designed for
extreme, all-weather deployment, the Aruba AP 80SB & MB offer a flexible
solution that supports a variety of applications using attachable antennas
and an integrated PPP over Ethernet client enables remote deployments
over service provider networks.
