Add wireless access to up to 15 Ethernet devices or one RS-232 serial device with the Aruba 501 Wireless Client Bridge. Designed to provide fast wireless access to legacy wired devices, this Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) bridge features a single dual-band radio that can transfer data at up to 1.3 Gb/s with compatible networks. It can also be used to improve the performance of legacy wireless devices such as medical equipment. Additionally, the RS-232 port allows asynchronous terminal devices to communicate with compatible stations on the network with an integrated serial to TCP/IP converter. Connect the 501 Wireless Client Bridge to a PoE compatible switch or router to transfer data and power to the device using a single cable.
