XPress™ Ethernet Bridge

• Indoor/urban range up to 2,000 feet (with high gain antenna)
• Outdoor line-of-sight range up to 15 miles (with high gain antenna)
• Does not interfere with Wi-Fi networks
• 128-bit encryption provides secure data delivery
• Simple plug-and-play
• Product datasheet

The XPress Ethernet Bridge replaces costly wiring with a solution that wirelessly connects industrial PLCs, electronic (LED) signs, Wi-Fi APs, Pan/Tilt/Zoom security cameras, VoIP phones, Internet kiosks and more. With a range of up to 15 miles (line-of-sight with a high gain antenna) and the ability to transmit through as many as 10 standard walls, the XEB uses the added range and capabilities of the 900 MHz band to communicate where Wi-Fi and other wireless data products fall short. The easy-to-use, long-range XEB features a 1.5 Mbps RF data rate.
