Axis goes wireless...

Axis Communications has launched the 802.11b Wireless Access Point / Device Point offering wireless functionality to the entire range of Axis networked video products.  The Wireless Device Point is a bridge (converter) between cabled Ethernet and wireless Ethernet.

It is simply connected to any networked video product to provide a transparent connection to existing network infrastructure.

The Wireless Device Point and Wireless Access Point are applicable to all traditional camera video applications - the key point is to remove the need for cabling.  Application benefits include:

• Surveillance of "hard to reach" spots - whether in public transportation, shopping centres or industrial process monitoring
• Reducing cost and installation complexity - no need for extensive rewiring of network cabling
• Mobility / relocation of surveillance equipment - easy relocation of complete systems e.g. trade shows, concerts etc
• Integration and expansion - enabling "add-ons" to new and existing network infrastructures
• Transmission security - 128 bits WEP encryption provides security
