Supporting the 802.11ac Wave 2 Wi-Fi standard, the EnStation5-AC Wireless 5 GHz Long Range Outdoor Bridge from EnGenius is designed to offer enhanced wireless data transfer rates up to 30% faster than offered by 802.11ac Wave 1. This network bridge is easy to install, as it comes with pole-mounting brackets and a wall-mount screw set making it easy to place it virtually anywhere.

This EnGenius network bridge also supports 24V proprietary PoE connectivity through its Gigabit speed PoE in port and includes an adapter, eliminating the need for a standalone power source and further simplifying the installation process. A Gigabit Ethernet PoE out passthrough port is available for compatible devices. In addition to support for the 802.11ac Wave 2 Wi-Fi standard, this bridge operates the 5 GHz frequency offering enhanced wireless connectivity with less congestion when compared to the slower 2.4 GHz frequency.

The EnStation5-AC features an IP55-rated waterproof enclosure, making it easy to install it outdoors in the elements. Install it on the side of buildings for long-range point-to-point and point-to-multipoint connections. Additionally, this EnGenius network bridge can be configured as an access point, client bridge, or set to WDS mode to suit the needs of nearly any network configuration.

The EnGenius bridge comes with a variety of management utilities to simplify the process of administering your network. With the included ezMaster Software suite, you can take advantage of centralized management functionality including the ability to configure, manage, and monitor your network.

This coupled with its embedded 19 dBi high-gain directional antennas that emit a narrow signal beam, deliver stable connectivity, optimal bandwidth and high-speed data rates over extremely long distances up to 5 miles in clear, line-of-sight point-to-point deployments.

Easily position EnStation5-AC for maximum connectivity with its 360-degree, 3-axis pivoting arm that locks in place to ensure precise alignment between other EnStation5-AC devices.

Connect and power EnTurbo outdoor APs and bridges via their dual PoE Gigabit ports and included PoE adapter for placement in locations where power outlets are unavailable such as on roofs, poles or other remote areas.

Access Point, Client Bridge, and WDS modes broaden the adaptability to your network needs. With multiple operation modes, these flexible devices offer versatility in point-to-point or point-to-multipoint deployments.

EnTurbo Outdoor APs and Bridges are designed to perform in harsh conditions and feature ruggedized IP55-rated enclosures. Ensure your network operates in extreme outdoor climates and indoor industrial environments where temperature is a factor. EnTurbo is protected from prolonged exposure to sunlight, cold, frost, snow, rain, hail, heat and humidity.

The EnTurbo outdoor APs and bridges can operate as standalone devices or as part of a scalable network management solution. Manage EnTurbo APs and bridges while in AP mode via Neutron Switches or remotely with ezMaster and expand easily as your network needs grow.

Any EnGenius Gigabit managed switch can also manage up to 50 EnTurbo APs or bridges when in AP mode. Through the switch, you can access all connected EnGenius devices operating in AP mode, as well as a full array of wireless and Layer 2 management tools. Choose between PoE+ and non-PoE switch models with flexible deployment and management options and no AP license or subscription fees.

EnGenius ezMaster Software's simple, intuitive Web-based interface allows flexible access point monitoring, locally or remotely. Quickly and easily set up, manage, monitor, and troubleshoot multiple APs at the same time. See real-time network performance and monitor AP traffic through ezMaster's at-a-glance dashboard.

EzMaster provides business-class features, unlimited scalability and centralized management of hundreds of EnTurbo access points and EnGenius switches, locally, remotely, or via a cloud-based service, with no licensing or subscription fees.
