The NETGEAR ProSafe Wireless-N Dual-Band Access Point is optimal for deployment of wireless over large areas with support for point-to-point and point-to-multipoint bridging with Wireless Distribution System (WDS).
In addition, the EW-7206PDg features Station Mode (AP Client mode) and Wireless Distribution System (WDS), which help to lower network costs and increase flexibility, and the WDS function enables the device to act as an Access Point and repeater at the same time.
Ideal for deploying video, audio and voice applications over the wireless network through support for Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM), the WAG102 also incorporates Wireless Distribution System (WDS) to support bridging and repeater modes.
Wireless Distribution System (WDS) isn't quite an industry standard, so Apple is only promising that AirPort Express and AirPort Extreme base stations can connect to one another.
11n, including: * Four, eight or 16 radios in a single device * Integrated high-gain, directional antennas * Integrated Wi-Fi Controller and Gigabit Switch * Dual Gigabit Ethernet uplinks * Integrated Wi-Fi Threat Sensor * Integrated Spectrum Analyzer * Wireless mesh/backhaul via Wireless Distribution System (WDS) In addition to the many 802.
The Wireless Distribution System (WDS) expands the wireless network across access points while the antenna positioning can be fine-tuned with the removable and adjustable antenna.
Test highlights concluded that the Xirrus' solution: * Provides Ethernet uplink connectivity failover when using both Gigabit Ethernet ports from the XS-3900 Array * Provides radio-to-radio failover between all Integrated Access Points (IAP) * Supports wireless-to-wireless backhaul -- Wireless Distribution System (WDS) failover among Arrays * Provides wireless-to-wired WDS failover with two Wi-Fi Arrays deployed on two different wired networks * Supports Array-to-Array failover Testing of the Wi-Fi Array's dual Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports demonstrated recovery from network connectivity interruptions.
