Wi-Fi Range Extenders

Indoor/Outdoor Long-Range APs

For large, outdoor Wi-Fi networks, we provide the hardened, weather-proof, high-powered ValuePoint SuperAP 530g and SuperAP 500DR.

While ValuePoint APs don't run the Sputnik Agent, they work as range extenders when connected to a Sputnik-Powered AP or Gateway. Anybody who connects to the ValuePoint AP’s signal is authenticated and tracked by SputnikNet.

ValuePoint SuperAP 500DR

The ValuePoint SuperAP 500DR is a rugged, high-powered dual-radio 802.11b wireless access point (AP). The SuperAP 500DR combines two radios with up to 285 mWatt of adjustable transmit power each, industry-standard Power over Ethernet (PoE), and a weatherproof, lockable NEMA enclosure, making it ideal for distributed indoor/outdoor Wi-Fi deployment in hotels, multi-tenant dwellings, airports, and municipalities.

Simply plug the SuperAP 500DR into a LAN port on the back of the Sputnik AP 160, Sputnik-Powered Linksys WRT54GL, or connect wirelessly via WDS. For larger networks, connect one or many ValuePoint APs to the Sputnik 720. Add two external antennas, and you have a fully managed network with flexible user authentication and tracking.

The SuperAP 500DR works just like a SuperAP 530g but adds an additional antenna. The antennas are separately controlled, enabling you to dedicate one for point-to-point broadband wireless backhaul, and the other for local hotspot service. This enables you to inexpensively build very large, distributed Wi-Fi networks.

ValuePoint SuperAP Feature Overview

Wi-Fi-compliant 802.11b/g access point	ValuePoint SuperAPs work with all Wi-Fi-compliant 802.11b/g access cards. They require no special client, and work seamlessly with laptops, desktop computers and PDAs running Windows®, Macintosh®, Linux, Unix, Palm® and other operating systems. Each ValuePoint SuperAP can support up to 50 concurrent users, and operates at up to 54 Mbps.
High-powered radio	With up to 300 mWatt adjustable transmit power (285 mWatt in the case of the SuperAP 500DR), ValuePoint SuperAPs are ideal for long-range applications.
Replaceable external antenna	ValuePoint SuperAPs include one or two industry-standard N-bulkhead antenna connectors (female) for use with high-gain, directional, omnidirectional and Yagi antennas. Sputnik offers a variety of ValuePoint antennas.
Environmentally sealed enclosure	ValuePoint SuperAPs are sealed with a heavy-duty gasket and include moisture-proof gland(s) for cable connectivity. The ValuePoint APs are designed for outdoor operations in temperatures ranging from -4° F to 158° F (-20° C to 70° C).
Powerful security	In conjunction with SputnikNet, ValuePoint SuperAPs utilize a captive web portal to enforce secure, SSL-based authentication. The SuperAPs support Layer 2 client isolation, WEP, WPA, 802.1X, and VPN pass-through.
Transmit power control	ValuePoint SuperAPs include transmit power control, enabling wireless output to exactly fit the requirements of its environment.
Power over Ethernet (PoE)	ValuePoint SuperAPs support standard 802.3af 48 volt Power over Ethernet (requires optional PoE injector). This enables you to place SuperAPs in locations where it’s too difficult or costly to run AC power lines.
Wireless repeater functionality	ValuePoint SuperAPs support standard Wireless Distribution System (WDS), enabling them to act as repeaters. Using directional antennas and the SuperAP’s powerful 300 mW radio(s), a range of several miles is possible (line-of-site, AP to AP). A SuperAP can establish up to six WDS links.
Plug-n-play provisioning	Just plug a ValuePoint SuperAP into one of the Ethernet LAN ports on the back of a Sputnik-Powered AP or Gateway. You’re up and running with a secure, authenticated Wi-Fi network in minutes.
Built-in RSSI indicator	ValuePoint SuperAPs enable you to view the radio signal strength of wireless links for optimal antenna placement.
AP Load balancing	Multiple ValuePoint SuperAPs can evenly distribute Wi-Fi client associations so that no single AP becomes overloaded.
SputnikNet	Using a Sputnik-powered AP or Gateway, ValuePoint SuperAPs work well with SputnikNet.
Support for branding	SputnikNet’s captive portal page and redirect page (the page end-users view after a successful login) can be completely customized to meet your branding goals, or to push content to end-users.
Intuitive end-user experience	End-users simply log on to the wireless network with a username and password. Network administrators can set automatic network timeout, and enable or disable end-users’ ability to create and manage their own accounts.
