If a number of different applications are used, it is important to prioritise certain traffic flows.
The devices in the bintec Wx002 and bintec WI series therefore support WMM (wireless
multimedia). This enables voice or video data to be prioritised in order to ensure optimum
transmission quality for time-critical applications.
Your access point supports the latest WLAN technology and is designed for use particularly
in the professional environment. The devices in the robust WI series are specially optim-
ised for use in difficult conditions in the industrial and outdoor sphere.
The WI series is available in two variants:
• Indoor Version with IP40 safety class (bintec WI1040, bintec WI2040 and bintec
WI3040)
• Outdoor version with IP65 safety class (bintec WI1065, bintec WI2065 and bintec
WI3065)
In addition to the radio standards 802.11b and 802.11g, the devices support 802.11a and
its European version 802.11h, so that data can also be transmitted in the 5 GHz frequency
range with data throughput of up to 54 mbps. This is required particularly for outdoor ap-
plications to achieve bridge solutions if other applications are already running in the 2.4
GHz frequency range.
bintec W1002n also supports 802.11n (Draft 2.0), which used MIMO technology (Multiple
Input Multiple Output) for data transmission that allows data transfer via WLAN over longer
distances or with higher data rates. With bandwidth 20 MHz or 40 MHz a gross data rate of
150 Mbps or 300 Mbps is achieved.
The products also support modern procedures such as Multi SSID and VLAN, with which
up to 16 virtual access points (8 SSIDs for bintec W1002n) can be mapped for each wire-
less module. These can be mutually protected and therefore ensure e.g. restricted guest
access for customers. Different safety levels and encryptions can be configured for each
SSID.
To ensure security is not neglected, the devices support security standards 802.1x and
802.11i (WPA, WPA2). The secure configuration is carried out over HTTPS or SSH.
Used as a bridge, the devices support Automatic Bridge Mode and are able to protect
bridge connection via TKIP and AES encryption.
WLAN Management
WLAN devices are designed for use with WiLMA. WiLMA, the WLAN management solu-
tion from Funkwerk, offers a software application in a client/server architecture that allows
you to centrally monitor, control and maintain all Funkwerk access points in medium and
large wireless LANs.
