| DESCRIPTION |
The Wireless Client Bridge 200 (WCB-200) connects legacy Ethernet or serial communications stations to a wireless LAN with simplicity and security. It enables organizations to unwire a broad range of computing devices and realize the benefits of mobility. Electronic cash registers, servers, printers and other devices can be deployed in any location where a WLAN signal is available, eliminating the time and expense of installing Ethernet cable for network access. The WCB-200 integrates into a Colubris Intelligent Mobility System and it is interoperable with any IEEE 802.11 network infrastructure. |
