AP 3021Ethernet Access Point
IEEE 802.11 Seamless, Wireless Connection Between Wired
Ethernet LANs and Mobile Clients
Symbol's Spectrum24AP 3021Ethernet Access Points strategically
placed in your facility create a seamless, wireless extension of
your network, providing mobile workers with immediate access to
mission-critical information and enabling real-time communications
throughout the enterprise. Designed for high levels of speed, theAP
3021provides a fast 2 Mbps network link with any number of devices
equipped with Spectrum24 Wireless LAN PC adapter, radio or ISA
cards.
TheAP 3021is designed to IEEE 802.11 standards for wireless
local area networks (WLAN) and is based on frequency hopping spread
spectrum (FHSS) technology for secure, reliable data and voice
communications at ranges of up to 2,000 ft./606 m. Each access
point supports up to 256 clients. Advanced mobile IP features allow
Spectrum24 clients to roam freely about the facility while
remaining connected to any standards-based LAN system.
Other features of the award-winningAP 3021include:
- Enhanced, built-in diagnostics
- MAC layer bridge based on the IEEE 802.11 to Ethernet
standard
- Powerful data encryption and decryption based on the IEEE
802.11 Wired Equivalent Privacy standard
- UTP fiber and COAX connectivity options
- Simple Network Management Protocol
- Mobile IP support
- Wireless bridge support
Maximum Connectivity to Support Mobile Workers
TheAP 3021boosts productivity and communications by providing
real-time network access to PC-compatible laptop and desktop
computers, hand-held computers, Symbol's portable terminals with
integrated scanners and voice-over-IP NetVision® Phone
and Data Phone network appliances.
Wherever associates are located, from sales floors to
manufacturing areas, theAP 3021provides fast access to information
and to each other. And when your coverage and range needs grow,
your Spectrum24 Wireless LAN can be expanded simply by adding more
