Wireless KarlRouter/Firewall

The Wireless KarlRouter is based on the popular high-performance KarlBridge, and uses the same KarlNet-developed software that is in use in every Lucent WaveLAN Access Point worldwide. The Wireless KarlRouter is the most feature-rich, highest-performance wireless IP Router available on the market today. When combined with KarlNet's proprietary TurboCell protocols, it provides unparalleled security and performance in mission-critical Point-to-Multipoint solutions.

Each Wireless KarlRouter has support for multiple radio cards (click here for a list of supported radios) and multiple 10/100 Ethernet interfaces, depending on the needs of the customer. The pre-installed software also contains advanced Ethernet protocol and MAC address filters. For the utmost in security, use KarlNet's proprietary TurboCell protocol extensions, and upgrade with our optional IP Firewall module.
