Description

Proxim’s TeraStar EtherAnt is a powerful 802.11b FCC

certified unit that offers the lowest entry price for a

point-to-multipoint (P-MP) outdoor wireless

equipment. It is designed for the residential market as

a cost-optimized solution, and is the client side of a

wireless P-MP network. This all-in-one unit includes an

embedded 18 dBi antenna and a 2.4 GHz radio.

Because of its outstanding feature set and affordable

price, the EtherAnt provides the best value in the

outdoor wireless industry. The EtherAnt works with

any 802.11b compatible Access Point, and features

true plug-and-play installation allowing for rapid

deployments.

Easy to Install

With the EtherAnt you don't have to worry about

complicated client installations, no more worrying

about driver conflicts with various OS, and, best of all,

you don't have to open up your PC! Simply plug the

EtherAnt directly into the client computer's Ethernet

adapter and you are ready to go! Also, because the

radio is in the antenna, there is no coax cable loss. Up

to 300 feet of Ethernet cable (ordered separately)

between the DC injector and the antenna can be used

with no signal loss. Just plug the outdoor Ethernet

cable into the Cat 5 DC Injector, and then into the PC

or Router, and you're done. Since it is FCC certified for

nonprofessional installation, it is legal for the customer

to do self-installation.

Extend Your Coverage with the EtherAnt-LR

Two versions of the EtherAnt are available: the

standard series EtherAnt with an integral 18 dBi gain

flat panel antenna, and the EtherAnt-LR with the

addition of an integrated bi-directional fixed amplifier

to boost range and improve reception.
