Designed to connect two or more networks (typically located in different buildings), Cisco Aironet wireless bridges deliver high data rates and superior throughput for data-intensive, line-of-sight applications. The high-speed links between Cisco Aironet wireless bridges deliver throughput faster than E1/T1 lines for a fraction of the cost - eliminating the need for expensive and difficult-to-install leased lines or fiber-optic cable. The initial hardware investment can be quickly paid for with the money saved on leased-line service. Wireless bridges connect discrete sites into a single LAN, even when they are separated by obstacles such as freeways, railroads, and bodies of water that are practically insurmountable for copper and fiber-optic cable.Aironet wireless bridges are flexible, supporting high data rates over medium and short ranges or lower data rates for long-range support. Easy to install and configure, the bridges are compact and unobtrusive and can be redeployed quickly as network requirements or company locations change. Designed with the Cisco award-winning direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) 3 radio frequency technology, Aironet bridges are not affected by bad weather and require no FCC (or applicable agency) license. Configuration and management options include direct console or remote configuration via Telnet, File Transfer Protocol (FTP), Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) or browser graphical user interface (GUI). An enhanced Management Information Base (MIB) allows network managers to choose from a variety of SNMP-compliant network management packages. The Cisco Aironet 340 series bridge also supports configuration and management via generally available scripting tools. Other features include support for 802.1 Spanning-Tree protocol and advanced diagnostics to simplify troubleshooting.Cisco offers Building-to-Building Starter Kit. This kit contains two 340 Series 11 Mbps DSSS Bridges, two 13.5 Yagi Antennas, and two 50 feet bulks of low-loss antenna cable.
