Quatech, a provider of wireless machine-to-machine (M2M) networking and device connectivity solutions, is now shipping advanced Enterprise-class 802.11b/g wireless Ethernet bridge adapters.
The airborne wireless Ethernet bridge allows Ethernet-enabled devices to connect to a high-performance wireless 802.11 network.
Available in external or embedded board versions, the units provide an integrated network address translation (NAT) functionality, which provides plug-and-play connectivity and simple integration to any system with an Ethernet port.
Equipped with WPA-2 Enterprise-class security, the Quatech Ethernet bridge supports the most flexible certificate delivery and management available in the M2M market, according to the company.
Capable of storing multiple certificates and private keys with support for PEM, DER, P12 and PFX formats, the management interface provides full control of delivery and configuration to ease end-user implementation of Enterprise-class embedded security.
Along with WEP, WPA, WPA2, 802.11i and Pre-shared Key (PSK), the integrated supplicant supports a variety of EAP processes, including EAP-TLS/MSCHAPv2, EAP-TLS/MD5, EAP-TTLS/MSCHAPv2 and Leap.
