Harrisburg, PA, January 5, 2006 - On-Q/Legrand, the leader in the connected home industry, is ringing in the New
Year with two new wireless access points (WAPs) that offer reliable wireless
coverage at a very affordable price.
Compact in size, the new On-Q WAPs' significantly lower cost affords homeowners
the flexibility to strategically place WAPs in multiple locations throughout
the home for better coverage - without breaking the bank. They can create multiple
localized hot spots where wireless access is required or wanted.
"Wireless signals can be limited by 'noise' - appliances, lighting fixtures
- and by different room configurations," says Gordon Waldhausen, Product Manager. "Homeowners
can overcome such restrictions by installing a WAP at specific line-of-sight
locations to guarantee coverage where it is critical or desired."
The WAPs install flush in the wall or ceiling in a standard plastic three-gang
switch box for easy installation. They use a single Cat 5e cable to transmit
power and data, so there's no need to co-locate the WAP near an electrical
outlet, allowing the freedom to place the WAPs in optimal locations.
The WAPs' unobtrusive, compact design helps them blend practically unnoticed
into the ceiling or wall when installed, and unsightly wires are hidden behind
the surface for a clean finish. Other features of the new In-Ceiling (part
no. 364887-01) and In-Wall (part no. 364891-01) WAPs include:
- 802.11g protocol with backwards compatibility to 802.11b
- Support data rates of up to 54 Mbps
- Tetherless roaming and user-friendly operation
- Power over Ethernet design, requiring only a single Cat 5e cable for both
power and data
- Multiple-level security configuration
- Trouble-free configuration - plug 'n connect
