SES WBIP/VOIP Wireless Bridge for IP/VoIP Communication
The SES WBIP/VOIP is a wireless bridge accessory used to create a network communication link for compatible Select Engineered Systems IP / VoIP access-control installations. It is commonly used when trenching new Ethernet cable from the entry panel location back to the building network is difficult, expensive, or exposed to lightning risk. SES wireless bridge systems are typically used in line-of-sight applications and may support long outdoor links when installed correctly with proper antenna alignment, power, grounding, surge protection, and network configuration. This part is not a stand-alone access controller, cellular router, telephone line interface, or replacement modem. It should be selected only when the SES system and site network are designed for IP/VoIP or Ethernet communication. Compatibility depends on the SES panel model, firmware, communication method, and the network equipment already on site.

Technician Note
For SES access-control parts, always match the part number to the actual system configuration. Similar-looking housings, readers, keypads, and communication accessories may use different wiring, credential technology, cabinet dimensions, or controller support.
Before Ordering Checklist
- Confirm the complete SES model number and option code from the existing unit or site paperwork.
- Compare the original part number, mounting style, and physical dimensions before ordering.
- For readers, verify voltage, Wiegand format, credential technology, facility code, and controller programming.
- For housings and adapters, verify cabinet family, mounting pattern, pedestal or surface mount details, and weather hood requirements.
- For communication accessories, verify the network, phone, IP/VoIP, cellular, or wireless bridge design before replacing parts.
Professional Advisory
Access-control wiring, gate operator activation, maglock control, electric strike wiring, and network communication should be verified by a qualified gate or access-control technician. Do not bypass safety devices, emergency access equipment, monitored inputs, or required entrapment protection to make an access-control device work.

Does it replace a cellular router?
No. It is a wireless Ethernet bridge, not a cellular module or cellular subscription device.
Does the bridge require line of sight?
Wireless bridge performance depends heavily on line of sight, antenna alignment, distance, interference, and site conditions.
Can this be used on any SES panel?
Only use it with SES systems and communication configurations that support the required IP, VoIP, or Ethernet connection.
Who should install this part?
A qualified access-control or network technician should verify compatibility, configure the network, align antennas, and protect the system from surge damage.
