EnGenius ENH900EXT
High-Powered, Long-Range, Ruggedized 3x3 Dual-Band Wireless N900 Outdoor Access Point
Sorry, this product is no longer available, replace by EnGenius ENH1750EXT Wireless Outdoor Access Point
Overview:
The ENH900EXT is a high-powered, long-range, Mesh-capable 3x3 Dual-Band Wireless 802.11a/b/g/n Outdoor Access Point with speeds up to 450 Mbps on both its high-powered 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radios. It can be configured as an Access Point, Mesh, or WDS (AP, Station, & Bridge). The ENH900EXT is designed to operate in a variety of outdoor environments making its high-powered, long-range characteristics a cost-effective alternative to ordinary Access Points that don’t have the range and reach to connect to a growing number of wireless users who wish to connect to a business network.
The ENH900EXT supports Mesh Networking in the 2.4 GHz frequency band to provide redundant and robust connectivity for wireless deployments when running Ethernet cable is not practical. Mesh networking allows The Access Point also supports seamless roaming throughout the network. Nodes in the Mesh network are chosen via the quickest and safest path to keep client devices like Wi-Fi phones, tablets, laptops, and other devices connected as they move in campus-wide network deployments. When new Access Points are added, the new node is incorporated automatically to the network and in the event that an Access Point fails, surrounding nodes will pick up the wireless devices without any interruption of signal.
The ENH900EXT is easy to install in virtually any location with its included PoE (Power over Ethernet) injector for quick outdoor installation. With EnGenius’ EZ Controller™ Management Software, units that have already been deployed on rooftops or other difficult to access locations and other EnGenius APs or Client Bridges in the network can be reconfigured to a different operational mode or upgraded remotely without having to manually reconnect to them or re-install them onsite. The ENH900EXT also supports wireless encryption safeguards, including Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK) Encryption and IEEE 802.1X with RADIUS. The ENH900EXT supports Wireless MAC Filtering, allowing network administrators to allow or deny network access to wireless clients (computers, tablet PCs, NAS, smartphones, etc.) according to their MAC addresses.
The ENH900EXT’s internal electronics have been mounted in an IP68-rated enclosure, one of the highest waterproof and dustproof ratings available, designed to withstand extremely harsh environmental conditions including severe and prolonged exposure to sunlight, extreme cold, frost, snow, rainfall, hail and humidity. The housing of the Access Point also has been manufactured to repel ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. These protective measures make the ENH900EXT an ideal outdoor wireless solution for virtually any locale or any venue including ski and beach resorts, sports arenas, college and corporate campuses, and businesses located in snowy, rainy, and arid climates.

Features & Benefits:
Mesh for More Reliable Wireless Coverage
Under the AP Mesh mode, the ENH900EXT Wireless Outdoor Access Point can be used as a central connection hub for stations or clients that support IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n networks. Under this mode, the ENH900EXT can be configured with the same Mesh SSID and security password in order to associate with other ENH900EXTs as well as connect with clients under the same SSID and security encryption signatures. For example, installers can use one band to connect the ENH900EXT to the Mesh network topology and the other band to broadcast traffic over the network. Acting as a node within a web framework, each ENH900EXT only needs to connect to the nearest node using the best path to transmit data, working collaboratively with other ENH900EXTs in the network infrastructure to function.
Roaming
The ENH900EXT also supports Roaming for clients authenticated to a RADIUS server. This means that employees can be constantly connected to the network – whether they are warehouse workers scanning and capturing barcode information, employees on Wi-Fi phone calls while walking to meetings on another part of a corporate campus, healthcare professionals capturing patient information on mobile devices, or security personnel who need uninterrupted video surveillance on a mobile device when they are alerted to and making their way to the location of an incident.
The ENH900EXT also includes wireless encryption safeguards, such as Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK) Encryption, and IEEE 802.1X with RADIUS. Wireless MAC Filtering is also included allowing network administrators to allow or deny network access to wireless clients (computers, tablet PCs, NAS, smartphones, etc.) according to their MAC addresses. The ENH900EXT is easy to install in virtually any location as well with its included PoE (Power over Ethernet) injector for quick outdoor installation. With EnGenius’ EZ Controller™ Management Software, units that have already been deployed on rooftops or other difficult to access locations and other EnGenius APs or Client Bridges in the network can be reconfigured to a different operational mode or upgraded remotely without having to manually reconnect to them or re-install them onsite.
Support for IP Surveillance Cameras
When the ENH900EXT is powered with the included 48V/0.8A PoE injector (EPE-48GR) the second Gigabit Ethernet Port (LAN 2) on the Access Point can be used to connect and power an IP Surveillance Camera through a standard Ethernet cable. This eliminates the need to run a separate power cable and plug in a dedicated power adapter just for the IP Camera which can be problematic for installations on light poles or under eaves of roofs.
Waterproof / Dustproof for Harsh Outdoor Enviornments
The ENH900EXT’s internal electronics have been mounted in an IP68-rated enclosure, one of the highest waterproof and dustproof ratings available, designed to withstand extremely harsh environmental conditions including severe and prolonged exposure to sunlight, extreme cold, frost, snow, rainfall, hail and humidity. The housing of the Access Point also has been manufactured to repel ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. These protective measures make the ENH900EXT an ideal outdoor wireless solution for virtually any locale or any venue including ski and beach resorts, sports arenas, college and corporate campuses, and businesses located in snowy, rainy, and arid climates.
High Power and Long-Range Coverage
Up to 29 dBm transmit power, enabling long range connectivity.
Supports Mesh
Supports Mesh networking in the 2.4 GHz frequency band only to provide redundant and robust connectivity for wireless deployments when running Ethernet cable is not practical.
Band Steering
When Band Steering is activated, the ENH900EXT automatically detects Dual Band (5 GHz-capable clients) and shifts them to the 5 GHz band to relieve network congestion on the 2.4 GHz band for more optimal data traffic flow.
Dual-Band N900 Wireless Speeds
Dual-Band for expanded user capacity, up to 450 Mbps on both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands for faster connectivity.
