AirLive just announced the launch of a new access point aimed at home and small office users that are switching from wired to wireless networking technologies. The AirLive computer hardware manufacturing company is now presenting the WL-5470AP access point, a versatile piece of equipment
that integrates eight operational modes into a single unit including access point, bridge, client, gateway and repeater that allows it to act as a network expansion node.

In order to offer a maximum coverage area and ensure the quality of the wireless networking experience for its users the AirLive WL-5470AP multiple operational access point unit is coming equipped with a powerful 5dB antenna while also being capable of fine tuning the signal for the best connection possible at that particular power setting.

Thanks to the fact that the AirLive WL-5470AP device comes with five wired Ethernet ports it is able to function both as a wireless access point and as a wired traditional router equipped with four wired LAN compatible ports while using one such port for a wide area networking connection. For users needing to expand the reach of their wireless network, the AirLive WL-5470AP access point can be combined with any number of other such devices, thus increasing the total area coverage of the network.

As the wireless networks are particularly vulnerable to security threats, the AirLive WL-5470AP access point comes equipped with extensive security features like WEP/WPA encryption as well as IEEE 8021x authentication. In order to maximize the reliability of this device, the AirLive WL-5470AP access point integrates a new Boot Loader Protection feature that allows the equipment to resume its normal operation even after an unsuccessful firmware upgrade.

The AirLive WL-5470AP access point with multiple operational modes and enhanced security features is now readily available for purchase through the retail channel partners of its manufacturing company and other hardware resellers.
