- Link up to 15 Ethernet device or an RS232 serial device to a wireless network at Gigabit speeds
- Dual-band three spatial stream MIMO radio running up to 1.3Gb/s
- Supports IEEE 802.11b/g/n and 802.11a/n/ac WLAN networks
- Fast roaming between access points
- Web-based configuration as well as managed via HPE Intelligent Management Center
Devices with no native wireless support can be easily integrated into a wireless LAN (WLAN) using the HPE 501 Wireless Client Bridge. The HPE 501 Wireless Client Bridge can bridge up to 15 Ethernet client device running a legacy networking protocol to the WLAN, extending wireless network access to a wide range of protocols. An integrated serial to TCP/IP converter enables a RS-232 asynchronous terminal device to communicate with a compatible station on the network. Strong
enterprise-class layered security features, including an IEEE 802.1X supplicant, protect the network from intrusions.
Hardware-accelerated encryption provides high performance when using WPA2/AES security.
It enables organizations to unwire a broad range of computing devices and realize the benefits of mobility. Electronic cash registers, scales, servers, printers, medical equipment, manufacturing machinery and other devices can be deployed in any location where a WLAN signal is available, eliminating the time and expense of installing Ethernet cable for network access.
The HPE 501 Wireless Client Bridge integrates into the HPE Mobility System and it is interoperable with any IEEE 802.11b/g/n or 802.11a/n/ac WLAN network infrastructure from HPE or any other vendor.
