About the Alcatel-Lucent OAW-AP120 Series Access Points
The Alcatel-Lucent OAW-AP120 series of wireless access points support the imminent IEEE 802.11n
(currently draft 2.0) standard for high-performance WLAN. These access points use MIMO (Multiple-in,
Multiple-out) technology and other high-throughput mode techniques to deliver high-performance, pre-
802.11n 2.4GHz and 5GHz functionality while simultaneously supporting existing 802.11a/b/g wireless
services. The OAW-AP120 series access points are available in versions with single or dual radios and
with integrated antennas or RP-SMA interfaces that support detachable antennas. The OAW-AP120
series access points work only in conjunction with an Alcatel-Lucent WLAN Switch.
The Alcatel-Lucent OAW-AP120 series access points provide the following capabilities:
Wireless transceiver
Protocol-independent networking functionality
IEEE 802.11a/b/g or 802.11n operation as a wireless access point
IEEE 802.11a/b/g or 802.11n operation as a wireless air monitor
Compatibility with IEEE 802.3af PoE as well as high power over Ethernet pre-standards
(PoE + / 802.3at)
Central management configuration and upgrades through an Alcatel-Lucent WLAN Switch
