Do you need an outdoor access point?

For outdoor deployments, an access point that is fully against dust and water ingress is needed. To survive the harsh environment outdoors, the access points must support an IP rating of IP65 or more, or irreversible damages might arouse due to water penetration.

What is an outdoor wireless access point bridge?

In additional to outdoor wireless access point bridges, other uses include outdoor public WiFi, or automation controls Outdoor WiFi access points, also known as awireless distribution system (WDS), PTP (point-to-point) bridge, and PTMP (point-to-multi-point) bridge, are commonly used to connect two or more locations together.

What are outdoor WiFi access points?

Outdoor WiFi access points, also known as awireless distribution system (WDS), PTP (point-to-point) bridge, and PTMP (point-to-multi-point) bridge, are commonly used to connect two or more locations together. They are often incorporated into networked surveillance solutions, or for entrance and gate access controls.

Can an access point operate without a steady power connection?

What are the different types of outdoor AP installation options?

There are basically four options in outdoor AP installation: wall mounting, pole mounting, corner mounting and roof mounting.

Should APS be mounted on a pole?

Pole mounting is a good option when installing the APs away from the buildings, which is more common in a wireless mesh system where no cables need to be pulled to each location. It's ideal for providing a 360° overall coverage for your premises, but if the access point is mounted too close to the pole, the RF will be severely attenuated.
