Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
The AirGuard™ model 525A-3 and model 525V-3/4 Wireless Access Points are packaged in rugged IP 66 weatherproof enclosure and conforms to 802.11a/b/g wireless standards. They provide access point, gateway, bridge/repeater, and mesh networking for wireless applications. In access point or gateway mode, the 525A-3 can establish links to laptops, PDAs and other wireless devices at data rates from 11 Mbps up to 108 Mbps. The 525V-3/4 incorporates an extra video module to provide capability for remote video surveillance and camera control.
