Benefit
11g radio supports speeds up to 54 Mbps at distances up to 100 meters (328 feet); 11a radio
supports speeds up to 54 Mbps at distances up to 50 meters (164 feet). (11a not supported
by the Access Point 7250.)
Provides even higher throughput capability, up to 108 Mbps.
Each access point supports up to 253 simultaneous users, allowing plenty of room for growth.
Basic and advanced encryption protect the privacy of data transmitted over the wireless LAN.
Automatically assigns user-specific 128-bit encryption keys for wireless sessions.
Dynamic key assignment improves security and simplifies deployment.
Helps ensure that only authorized users can access your network and centralizes authorization
of wireless users across your network.
Control access to network resources.
Block direct communications between other wireless users associated to the access points.
Allows only specific WLAN cards to connect to the access point.
Used with RADIUS authentication, assigns users to an appropriate VLAN, further protecting
access to network resources.
Interchangeable radio slots support more wireless clients within the same coverage area with
optional Mini PCI upgrade kits.
802.11a and 802.11g in same access point provide concurrent wireless connectivity for all
802.11 a/b/g clients.
11g radio supports both11g and 11b wireless users, preserving existing wireless investments.
