Industrial-Grade Performance for Remote Connectivity
The DAP-3712 features state-of-the-art hardware purpose-built for long-distance wireless networking. The powerful 23 dBi directional dish antenna focuses signal strength to achieve coverage up to 20km between two units. Operating on the less-congested 5GHz frequency band, the bridge delivers consistent performance even in busy RF environments. The integrated Gigabit Ethernet port ensures your network never becomes a bottleneck, supporting data rates up to 1000Mbps.
TDMA Technology for Superior Reliability
Unlike standard wireless bridges, the DAP-3712 uses Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) to create a transmission schedule between access point and client. This eliminates hidden node collisions, maximises airtime efficiency, significantly reduces interference, and improves the transfer rate - making it perfect for mission-critical business applications across farms, mines, campuses, and industrial sites throughout Australia.
Built Tough for Australian Conditions
Engineered for outdoor deployment in harsh environments, the DAP-3712 is enclosed in a rugged IP66-rated housing that provides complete protection from dust and powerful water jets. Operating temperature range of -40°C to 65°C means it handles extreme heat and cold without missing a beat. The 8kV surge protection safeguards your investment from lightning strikes and electrical surges common in rural Australian areas.
Simple, Cost-Effective Installation
Each DAP-3712 supports Power over Ethernet+ (PoE+) via the included injector, allowing you to power the unit through a single Ethernet cable up to 100 metres away. This eliminates the need for separate power runs and reduces installation costs. Built-in signal strength and alignment LEDs on the unit make it easy to precisely aim the antenna for optimal performance, saving on professional installation services.
Flexible Deployment Options
The DAP-3712 supports multiple operation modes including Access Point, Station, WDS AP, and WDS Station, enabling both point-to-point and point-to-multipoint configurations. Connect two buildings, distribute internet to multiple remote sites, or create a wireless backbone for your network. 128-bit AES encryption ensures your data remains secure across the wireless link.
