In
computer networking, a
wireless access point (WAP) is a device that allows wired communication devices to connect to a
wireless network using
Wi-Fi,
Bluetooth or related standards. The WAP usually connects to a
router, and can relay data between the wireless devices (such as computers or printers) and wired devices on the network.
Industrial grade WAPs are rugged, with a metal cover and a
DIN rail mount. During operations they can tolerate a wider temperature range, high humidity and exposure to water, dust, and oil. Wireless security includes:
WPA-PSK,
WPA2, IEEE 802.1x/
RADIUS,
WDS,
WEP,
TKIP, and
CCMP (
AES) encryption. Unlike home consumer models, industrial wireless access points can also be used as a bridge, router, or a client.
