The Cisco Small Business WAP200E Wireless-G Exterior Access Point, part number WAP200E-EU, is designed to deliver wireless connectivity in outdoor environments. This device utilises the 802.11g (Wireless-G) standard to provide data transfer rates up to 54 Mbps, making it ideal for extending a network’s coverage in external areas. The unit supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), eliminating the need for an external power supply and simplifying installation in challenging locations.
One of the key features of the WAP200E is its durable exterior design built to withstand diverse weather conditions. The access point is housed in a rugged weatherproof enclosure and includes an integrated lightning protection system for enhanced reliability during storms or conditions with power surges. For enhanced connectivity, this model supports multiple antennas, with detachable antennas that enable customisation for varying coverage needs and environments.
In terms of security, the WAP200E delivers robust protection through features like Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) and WPA2 encryption. It also supports MAC address filtering and can create up to four different Service Set Identifiers (SSIDs) to create separate wireless networks for multiple users with varying access levels.
Additional noteworthy features include Quality of Service (QoS) to prioritise bandwidth for essential applications such as voice-over-IP (VoIP). The WAP200E supports Wireless Distribution System (WDS) for expanding the range without requiring additional Ethernet cabling. Designed specifically for small businesses, this model is an ideal solution for increasing outdoor wireless coverage while maintaining security and high performance.
EOL Technology Services offers full support for the Cisco WAP200E-EU access point, providing professional services to assist with setup or troubleshooting.
