OVERVIEW
Reliable, secure, high-speed IEEE 802.11n wireless
networking has just been made practical. These
innovative and cost-effective Power over Ethernet
(PoE) access points—compliant with 802.11n Draft
2.0— are suitable for businesses of all sizes and are
available in two configurations:
› the 3Com
®
AP9552 dual-radio access point has both
2.4 and 5 GHz 802.11n radios allowing it to support
simultaneous 2.4 GHz 11b/g/n and 5 GHz 11a/n wire-
less connections
This access point is powered using a single, standard
IEEE 802.3af PoE connection, eliminating the need for
proprietary PoE injectors or bulky and inefficient
external power supplies.
This access point support the latest, most effective
authentication techniques to thwart intruders and
simplify network management. Advanced network
security with Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA2
™
),
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and IEEE 802.1X
authentication protect communication over the
wireless LAN and help ensure only authorized users
access the network.
High-level security and network management include
support for multiple SSIDs, IEEE 802.1Q VLANs, and
secure WDS bridging.
Advanced Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO)
technology provides enhanced wireless range.
Run in stand-alone mode or with one of 3Com's WX
3000 Series wireless controllers. When working in
conjunction with a wireless controller, get all the
features that high end enterprise customers are
looking for. The wireless controller provides auto-
configuration of channels and power levels,
redundancy, quality of service (QoS) in a roaming
environment, layer 2/layer 3 roaming and enhanced
authentication and security features that surpass
those of stand-alone wireless networks.
KEY BENEFITS
ENABLING WIRELESS FREEDOM
Take advantage of the freedom of high-speed
networking without wires with the Wi-Fi
