By enabling the SSID hiding feature, this outdoor wireless CPE will not send its network name (SSID) when broadcasting signals. This means that ordinary wireless terminal devices (such as mobile phones and laptops) will not be able to search for the wireless network established by WL280 when conducting network scans. Only authorized devices that know the exact network name in advance and configure it manually can access the network. This function greatly enhances the concealment of the network, effectively preventing “network hijacking” behavior and potential malicious detection. For outdoor wireless CPE links carrying sensitive monitoring data or critical business information, this kind of “invisible” protection is of vital importance. It builds a solid barrier for user data security at both the physical and link levels, ensuring the confidentiality and integrity of information during transmission, allowing users to deploy critical business on the wireless network constructed by WL280 with peace of mind.

Do you usually meet below questionswhen you are intalling camera?

CPE Security Monitoring Application Point to Point Connection Diagram

A typical and high-value application scenario of ComFi WL280 outdoor wireless CPE is the wireless transformation and new construction of security monitoring systems. In many cases, the distance between the monitoring point and the monitoring center is far, or there are obstacles that cannot be wired. Traditional wired solutions are either too costly or simply impossible to implement. At this point, WL280 becomes the best solution.

In the point-to-point connection mode, the deployment solution is clear and efficient. For instance, in a factory located in the suburbs, high-definition webcams need to be installed around its perimeter or in distant warehouses. We can connect the camera to an industrial switch via network cable, and then connect the switch to a ComFi WL280 outdoor wireless CPE (set to client mode or Station mode). In the remote monitoring center, another WL280 outdoor wireless CPE (set to Access point mode or AP mode) is also connected to the core switch or NVR (Network Video Recorder) via network cable. Through precise antenna alignment, a high-speed and stable wireless data link is established between the two outdoor Wireless CPEs. The video stream captured by the camera will be transmitted to the monitoring center in real time and without loss through this wireless “highway”. This application mode not only offers flexible deployment and a short construction period, but also has a much lower cost than the wired solution of digging trenches and laying cables, greatly expanding the coverage and deployment flexibility of the security monitoring system.

Point to Mulit-Point Connection Diagram

When there is more than one monitoring point or network node to be connected and they are relatively concentrated geographically, adopting a point-to-point solution will require a large number of central end devices, leading to a sharp increase in costs. The point-to-multipoint connection mode supported by ComFi WL280 outdoor wireless CPE is precisely designed to address this pain point. It is a highly cost-effective networking solution.

In the PtMP architecture, a ComFi WL280 outdoor wireless CPE serving as a central node (set to AP mode) can simultaneously establish connections with multiple WL280s (theoretically supporting over 50) serving as remote nodes (set to Station mode). The prerequisite for its application is that the angles between all remote nodes and the central node should be controlled within 60 degrees. This is because the flat-panel directional antenna of the central AP has a certain beam width. Within this Angle range, all remote nodes can be within its effective coverage area. Take a large park as an example. A central AP is installed on the roof of the monitoring center building. Cameras at multiple locations such as warehouses, parking lots, and gates within the 60-degree fan-shaped area around can all be connected to this central AP through their respective outdoor wireless CPEs. This “one-to-many” transmission mode achieves coverage of multiple remote nodes with the least number of central devices, greatly saving the costs of equipment procurement, installation and maintenance. It is an ideal choice for building regional wireless monitoring networks or data backhaul networks. It fully demonstrates the significant advantages of ComFi WL280 outdoor wireless CPE in terms of networking flexibility and cost control.
