Fortress Secure Wireless Access Bridge - ES520

Military and civilian organizations are continually faced with the challenge of quickly establishing communication in environments that have no available infrastructure. Deployable wireless networks help these agencies react faster and more effectively, getting the right information to the right people in the least amount of time. Fortress Secure Wireless Access Bridges are ideally suited for rapid deployment, incident response and tactical networks. By bringing immediate "on-demand" secure voice, video and data solutions to a disaster area or the battlefield, first responders, relief workers and soldiers can save more lives.

Fortress Secure Wireless Access Bridges are all-in-one network access devices with built-in security. The ES520 is ideally suited to work as a self-contained network combining the functions of an access point, Ethernet switch, and security gateway in a form factor engineered specifically for harsh outdoor environments.
