Low Power Ethernet to Wi-Fi Bridge

BR-330AC-LP     

The Lowest Power Enterprise Wi-Fi Bridge Allows Flexible Power Supply Options for Easier Installation

The BR-330AC-LP is the enterprise Wi-Fi 5 Ethernet to Wi-Fi bridge with the lowest power consumption in the market allowing it to be USB powered (with optional 131-20175-100 cable). It supports WPA enterprise security and TLS 1.2.  The BR-330AC-LP is enabled by silex's SX-590 module which has enabled a number of medical devices with the secure and reliable wireless connectivity. Its low power operation provides users with more flexibility in its installation as the users have more options for the power supply source.

The lowest power consumption enterprise-grade Wi-Fi bridge enabled by industry-proven SX-590

The BR-330AC-LP is the ideal solution to reliably connect Ethernet IoT devices to a secure enterprise Wi-Fi network.  Thanks to its low power operation, a USB battery pack can power the bridge for a longer duration, USB port(s) can be equipped on an Ethernet device, etc., eliminating the dedicated AC power for the bridge.

The BR-330AC-LP is enabled by Silex's Sx-590 intelligent module which has a superior track record in the medical industry to provide secure and reliable Wi-Fi connectivity to medical devices.

Low Power Consumption

The BR-330AC-LP is the enterprise Ethernet to Wi-Fi bridge operating with the lowest power consumption in the industry. The BR-330AC-LP consumes less than 2.5W (RMS: Root Mean Square) while transmitting the radio signal. The low-power operation will allow longer operation time with a large-capacity power bank when the Wi-Fi bridge is used with a mobility device.

802.1X Enterprise Security

The BR-330AC-LP supports 802.1x authentication to join the enterprise network through the Wi-Fi network.

The BR-330AC-LP is the ideal solution for successful IT/OT convergence with traditional non-802.1X capable Ethernet devices. Combined with 802.1X authentication over the Wi-Fi by the BR-330AC-LP and its MAC address filtering function for the connected Ethernet device, only authorized Ethernet devices in the OT domain can converge into the IT network. Instead of replacing legacy Ethernet devices to achieve IT/OT convergence, retrofit the Ethernet devices with the BR-330AC-LP.

MAC Address Filtering

The BR-330AC-LP supports MAC address filtering. You can protect your network from physical tampering by making sure that only known devices can join your Wi-Fi network through the BR-330AC-LP. When you enable MAC address filtering, only devices you've enabled can be paired with the bridge and the network.

Connect single or multiple Ethernet devices to secure Wi-Fi network

The BR-330AC-LP supports two connection topologies, a single-client mode, and a multi-client mode. The BR-330AC-LP seamlessly bridges an Ethernet device to an 802.11ac wireless network in the single client mode. It can also bridge up to 16 Ethernet devices connected through a network hub to the wireless network.

Fast-Roaming for mobility

The BR-330AC-LP supports fast roaming to add not only wireless connectivity but also mobility to an Ethernet device. The BR-330AC-LP is the perfect solution for a medical cart and mobile workstation.
