The Silex Wi-Fi adapter adds medical grade Wi-Fi capability to help companies comply to HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act).
The Silex SX-BR-4600WAN Ethernet to Wi-Fi Bridge, combined with any Ethernet enabled device allows connection to an organization's existing enterprise wireless network. Used with a Konica Minolta multifunction printer, it allows flexibility to locate the printer in places where running cables is difficult, inconvenient, or impossible. Users can save the cost of running cables each time they want to install or move their Konica Minolta printer, increasing the mobility and applications it can be integrated into.
