AP300Access Port
More Functionality for a Fraction of the Cost of Access
Points
Access Ports are a key component of Symbol Technologies' award
winning Wireless Switch System, the second-generation wireless LAN
architecture that does more, yet costs less. Working in conjunction
with Symbol's Wireless Switch 2000, theAP300Access Port delivers
robust and feature rich IEEE 802.11a/b/g connectivity. Access Ports
substantially reduce the cost of deploying, implementing and
managing a wireless LAN, while significantly increasing features,
functionality and security of the wireless LAN infrastructure.
Virtual AP Enables True RF Virtual LANs (VLANs) for Better
Device and Network Performance
With Virtual AP, each Access Port can support four separate
wireless broadcast domains - functionality that would otherwise
require the installation of four first-generation access points.
These true wireless VLANs enable separation of mobile end-users,
ensuring that broadcast traffic reaches only those recipients for
which it is intended. Overall network traffic is reduced, network
and device performance is improved, and device battery life is
increased - at a fraction of the cost required to deliver the same
functionality in a first generation access point-based network.
EachAP300supports four BSSIDs (Basic Service Set Identifiers)
and 16 ESSIDs (Extended Service Set Identifiers) per radio,
enabling granular segmentation of the wireless LAN into multiple
broadcast domains to meet specific enterprise needs. Typical access
points support only one BSSID, utilizing ESSIDs (instead of BSSIDs)
to create wireless VLANs.
Dual-radio 802.11a and 802.11g Design
Simultaneous service to 802.11a, 802.11b and 802.11g mobile
devices provides high-bandwidth wireless connectivity at speeds of
up to 54 Mbps in both the 2.4 GHz and 5.2 GHz ISM bands.
Thin AP Design
TheAP300, as all other Symbol Access Ports, requires no
configuration or manual firmware maintenance. The Symbol Wireless
Switch discovers Access Ports on the network and automatically
downloads all configuration parameters and firmware. Installation,
maintenance and troubleshooting costs are greatly reduced.
Feature
|
Benefit
|
Dual form-factors
|
Plenum-rated external antenna model with metal housing is ideal
for installation above ceiling tiles; the plastic internal-antenna
housing allows for installation within the 'carpeted-space' and
provides cost effective coverage via the integrated 2.4 GHz and 5.2
GHz antennas
|
Interoperability
|
Standards-based wireless, wired and security protocols ensure
interoperability with third-party hardware
|
802.1x supplicant
|
Allows authentication to a RADIUS server to enable an
802.1x-protected Ethernet port
|
802.11h
|
Enables worldwide operation through support for standards-based
dynamic frequency selection and power control
|
802.11i
|
Support for IEEE standards-based security protocols for strong
Encryption (AES, TKIP), Authentication and Key Management
(802.1x-EAP)
|
Flexible mounting options
|
Fast and easy installation with wall, ceiling and above-ceiling
tile mounting options; internal antenna version snaps on to T-bars
of suspended ceilings without the use of any hardware; external
antenna version installs above ceiling tiles
|
802.3af
|
Simplifies and reduces total cost of installation through
support of standards-based Power-over-Ethernet (PoE)
|
Load Balancing, Pre-Emptive Roaming and Rate Scaling
|
Increases reliability and resilience of the wireless network to
support mission critical applications
