• Wireless sFlow, to extend the ProCurve Adaptive
Networks vision by enabling centralized network
visibility of wired and wireless network activity.
• Browser-based user authentication, which simplifies
authentication of mobile users to the wireless network.
• Adaptive transmit power control: enhances the
performance of the wireless LAN by minimizing
co-channel interference.
• Group AP configuration to simplify device and WLAN
configuration by automatically updating configuration
changes across a group of access points.
• Business-critical application support, including
standards-based QoS and a VoWLAN-ready
architecture.
• Remote-site RADIUS backup for distributed offices and
built-in RADIUS authentication server for standalone
sites, which extends enterprise-grade wireless security
to small WLAN deployments that operate without a
local RADIUS server.
• Simplified deployment and reduced installation costs
via IEEE 802.3af PoE support.
• Simultaneous 802.11a and 802.11b/g radio operation
for high-capacity, dual-band wireless client
connectivity.
• Dual 802.11b/g radio operation, which provides either
high-capacity 802.11b/g data or dedicated data and
voice wireless LAN coverage with a single access point
in networks where support for 802.11a is not a
requirement.
• The ProCurve Access Point 530 also offers both
integrated diversity omnidirectional antennas as well
as per-radio external antenna connectors. ProCurve's
family of external access point antennas increases the
radio frequency (RF) coverage and reliability of the
network, including wireless bridging between access
points.
The ProCurve Wireless Access Point 420 is a cost-
effective, stand-alone single 802.11b/g radio access point
providing secure, trouble-free wireless LAN connectivity
for medium to larger enterprises.
Capabilities of the Wireless Access Point 420 include the
following:
• Offers the latest standards-based security — including
support for IEEE 802.11i, WPA2 and WPA plus multiple
SSID support, rogue access point and wireless ad-hoc
network detection — so mobile users can enjoy
wireless network access without compromising
security
• IEEE 802.11b/g single-radio design provides choice for
support of 802.11g and legacy 802.11b wireless clients
• Detachable antenna design enables use of external
antenna configurations for improved radio coverage
and performance
• Simplified deployment and reduced installation costs
via IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) support
