Halo can be configured to operate at 5.18, 5.25, 5.47 or 5.725 GHz. Halo's firmware and easy-to-use interface allow for adjustments to be made, depending on your location, with spectrum presets for the United States, Europe and Japan that allow up to 80 non-overlapping channels.
Halo boasts an advance power amplifier that provides phenomenal range. With point-to-point links up to 12 miles (20 kilometers). We also offer a version of Halo that comes with an integrated antenna, providing an EIRP of 46 dBm (40W).
Did we mention its rugged? In order to ensure that Halo delivers maximum performance in harsh environments, we've included an internal heating unit that drops Halo's minimum operating temperature to a staggering -45 degrees fahrenheit. Bring on the cold.
Halo uses the industry standard, high quality chipsets developed by Atheros. These chipsets feature breakthrough technologies to extend the range and reduce the power consumption of 802.11 wireless networks. Plus, Halo works with any other device in the 802.11a standard.
Wireless Distribution System (WDS) is a way of interconnecting access points to one another, wirelessly. Halo can be a main base station, a relay station, or a remote access point. Typically, the main base station is connected via Ethernet. Then, the relay stations push data between remote base stations, wireless clients, or other relay stations until it gets to its destination on the wireless network. So, unlike traditional bridging, Halo is able to bridge and accept wireless clients at the same time.
One of the most important features of Halo is the numerous ways it is able to encrypt data that is sent through a wireless network. Halo supports not only WEP 64/128/152-bit and 802.1x authentication (EAP), but also MAC filtering, hidden SSID, client isolation, WPA-PSK and WPA encryption -- making it an extremely secure access point.
