Overview:

EnGenius ENS500 INJECTOR

The ENS500 is a high-speed, long-range outdoor 802.11n Wireless N300 Client Bridge and Access Point that operates in the 5GHz frequency band so it avoids the congested wireless traffic from devices on the more commonly used 2.4 GHz frequency band. This makes the ENS500 an ideal solution for building-to-building wireless bridging, for stable streaming of video from connected IP security cameras in parking lots or garages back to a company network, or for sending data to outdoor digital signage.

The ENS500 is compliant with the IEEE802.11 a/n standard delivering a wireless data rate of up to 300Mbps. It features an internal directional 10 dBi MIMO (Multiple In/Multiple Out) antenna that coupled with its strong transmit power of up to 400mW makes the ENS500 a compelling performance solution for small and growing businesses at a very affordable price. The ENS500 can also be used in other operational modes including as an Access Point. When used as an Access Point it should be positioned in such a way, because of its more focused directional antenna signal array, to offer wireless network connectivity to a more defined outdoor venue rather than a more general outdoor area around it.

ENS500 also features a robust security feature set that includes support for WPA/WPA2 Personal and Enterprise encryption, 802.1x RADIUS authentication, hidden SSID and MAC address filtering.

The ENS500 also features an IP65 rated weatherproof housing that ensures continued operation in harsh outdoor environments or in climates of extreme cold, heat or continuous moisture.

Product Highlights

  • High 26 dBm Transmit Power Extends Wi-Fi to the Yard or Guest House
  • Directional 10 dBi MIMO Antennas Enable Long-Range Outdoor Coverage
  • Weatherproof IP55-Rated Housing Resists Harsh Climates
  • PoE Extends Power to Unwired Areas; Connect IP Camera or AP via 2nd Port

Features & Benefits:

High 400mW Transmit Power Delivers Long-Range Coverage

Ensures robust signal to achieve longer range. Offers superior wireless network coverage over other brands. Ideal for Point-to-Point wireless bridging to other buildings.

Up to 300 Mbps Wireless Speed and Backward Compatible to 802.11a

Up to 300 Mbps when connected to another 5 GHz Wireless N300 device. Complies with IEEE802.11a/n standards.

Built-in Directional Antenna Maximizes Wireless Connectivity

Internal 10 dBi directional antenna with dual polarity design with a focused beam array for targeting other outdoor client bridges or providing wireless network connectivity to a specific outdoor area in Access Point mode.

SSID-to-VLAN Tagging

Can be configured to broadcast up to four (4) SSIDs. Each SSID can be tagged to a specified company network VLAN for different user access based on established access rights.
