For data privacy, the Compex iWavePort WL11A+ uses a 64-bit or 128-bit private 
encryption key to code your data. This ensures that only wireless clients configured 
with the same WEP key are able to gain access to the data.

To increase the range of the Compex WL11A+ for wider and better coverage, a 
Compex (WA-HGA-5+) external antenna can be purchased separately and fitted to 
your Compex WL11A+.  

The Compex WL11A+ facilitates wireless connections to other hosts on a network.  

Installing the Compex WL11A+ will give you these benefits:  
 
• 

High mobility at your home or office 

 
• 

No messy wires 

 
• 

Overcoming structural restrictions in the building 

 
• 

Cost effectiveness against laying of cables 

 
• 

Easy scalability and quick expansion of existing network 

WL11A+ can be configured for 2 types of wireless architectures – Infrastructure and 
Ad-Hoc.  
 
In an Ad-Hoc architecture, the wireless clients communicate directly with one 
another. No access points exists on such a wireless LAN configuration. Each wireless 
client is allowed to transfer data packets with each other.  
 
In an Infrastructure architecture, all the wireless clients communicate through access 
points which are devices that act as base stations for all wireless communication. The 
data packets from the wireless clients are transferred to the access points before being 
transmitted to other hosts on the network.
