SCS Distribution, sole distributor for Axis Communications in Africa, has announced that Axis has introduced two new products that add wireless capability to all its networked video and print server products.
The 802.11b Wireless Device Point and 802.11b Wireless Access Point both address the fast-growing demand for cost-efficient, high-quality wireless solutions. With this introduction, Axis continues to strengthen its competitive-edge over its competitors by adding the ability to operate any Axis network video product in fully integrated wireless environments.
Different wireless technologies are emerging on the market. Bluetooth and 802.11b WLAN (wireless local area network) are two of the most recognised technologies that have both received significant interest and support from the industry. The two new WLAN products from Axis complements and supports the company`s existing network video product range as well as its wireless print servers.
The 802.11b Wireless Device Point provides networked devices with the ability to communicate wirelessly. The device point, or bridge as it is commonly called, connects to the Ethernet port of any network camera or video server, and provides a transparent connection to an existing WLAN infrastructure, via a wireless access point. This solution gives customers the advantage of having wireless connection options with any choice of Axis network video products, ranging from high-end pan, tilt, zoom cameras and video servers, to basic remote monitoring cameras and video servers. This also gives Axis a competitive-edge over competitors with only one or two wireless video product offerings.
The 802.11b Wireless Access Point connects to a local area network infrastructure, enabling a LAN to communicate wirelessly with 802.11b-enabled products. It is an easy-to-use, entry-level wireless access point that can be used together with Axis` network video products and the 802.11b device point, in addition to Axis` 802.11b print server, the AXIS 5900. With the addition of this wireless access point offering, Axis is able to provide a complete 802.11b wireless networking solution for surveillance or printing, enabling an even broader application range as well as flexibility by putting an end to cable constraints.
