AirGuard™ 3e–523S–1

Portable Adaptive Com-Link

The 3e–523S–1, also called the Portable Adaptive Com-Link (PAC-Link), is an extremely portable, battery operated IP router used in mobile operations. The 3e–523S–1 is intended to provide mobile IP connectivity for personnel on the move when the RF signal strength can not be maintained to the base operations center. When the RF signal is disrupted, a 3e–523S–1 can be used as a repeater which when situated in a suitable location, will provide suitable RF signal strength between the personnel and the base operations center.

Multiple 3e–523S–1 units can provide secure communications between personnel and the base operations center when large structures are penetrated or around the perimeter of large objects by simply tying the 3e–523S–1 units to railings or other convenient tie points as the progress of personnel takes them beyond the signal range of the last 3e–523S–1 that was deployed. In this way, connectivity can be maintained between personnel and the base operations center.

Inside the 3e–523S–1 is the FIPS 140-2 Validated™ 3e–523–F2 multi-function wireless data module. Also included is a rechargeable lithium-ion battery with a battery charge of approximately eight hours.

The 3e–523S–1 supports three different operating modes:

• Wireless Access Point (WAP)

• Wireless Client (STA), and

• Wireless Bridge (WDS)

The 3e–523S–1 can be configured for FIPS or non-FIPS submode.

In addition, the 3e–523S–1 supports 802.11i and Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2), WPA and different EAP types. Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) for WPA encryption and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) for WPA2 encryption.

With support of 802.11a/b/g standards, the 3e–523S–1 delivers up to 54 Mbps of data rate in 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz bands.
