Allied Telesis AT WR4561

Allied Telesis AT WR4561 ... wireless only or hybrid IP networks that are scalable, reliable and fully controllable. Wireless ISPs can easily and quickly provide homes in rural areas with broadband Internet access and VoIP telephony and, at the same time, can set-up WiFi hot spots for nomadic users. Enterprises can connect remote buildings without the need for expensive leased lines and can extend WiFi coverage to outdoor yards providing users with mobile intranet and Internet access everywhere.

Municipalities can build wireless IP networks for connecting remote offices and for increasing public safety with real time monitored surveillance cameras and continuous communication with local police patrols. Local utilities can easily control their remote equipments and read, in real time, gas, water and electricity meters without any need for expensive fiber cabling. Hot spot services can be provided to hotel guests and hospital patients 'illuminating' rooms from outside the building with a reduced impact on medical equipments because no transmit radio will be installed inside the hospital.

The single radio AT-WR4561 model can be used as a base router, a hot spot or a wireless CPE. Flexibility is the primary advantage of the WR4500 family of wireless base routers. All products share the same software and features and differ only in the number of radio interfaces.

The WR4500 dual band wireless base routers have all the features of IP routers and much more. A full set of routing protocols together with enhanced filtering capabilities make the WR4500 series the best choice for building simple and complex wireless and hybrid (wired-wireless) networks with a tight integration between the wired and wireless parts.

IP routing allows network designers to design and deploy fully redundant networks with predictable behavior in any working condition, while network operations managers retain full control over packet forwarding. Point to point, point to multipoint as well as partially or fully meshed networks can be easily designed and deployed with limited need for deciding in advance the network architecture. Common network management tools can be used for configuring and monitoring the network and its users the usual way. Any network engineer will be able, with little wireless training, to design and troubleshoot an Allied Telesis powered wireless network.

Wireless specific functionalities are integrated in the WR4500 firmware in such a way that setting up a standard WiFi access point is as easy as configuring an interface. Integrated hot spot functionalities makes it equally easy setting up a public or private hot spot for public Internet access and or controlled access to intranets.
