When operating in CPE (Client) mode, it functions as a Wi-Fi modem gateway to receive wireless signal over the last-mile Internet feed from WISPs. The CPE's bandwidth to the Internet can be assigned by the WISP. When in AP mode, OWL510 operates as an AP station with wall-penetrating high-power signal and long-range coverage to better serve Wi-Fi clients. In addition, it can be set up as a WDS-mesh node by establishing multiple WDS links to bridge neighbor access points together. Coming with business-class security, OWL510 in AP mode is also ideal for enterprise applications. Furthermore, one OWL510 with multiple SSIDs is capable of acting as multiple Virtual APs (VAPs). By tagging the traffic from each VAP with a unique VLAN ID, it allows for segmenting a corporate network using VLANs to protect critical resources. Being a versatile Wi-Fi device, OWL510 does not limit itself to outdoor usage only. When managed by a Controller (such as the WHG-series), it performs as a Wi-Fi base station in either a public or private wireless access deployment.
