Meru Access Point Features

Meru Access Points provide the following features:
Wi-Fi Certified Tri-mode Access Point Delivers Exceptional Performance
A key component of the Meru Wireless LAN System, Meru Access Points deliver
unsurpassed Wi-Fi performance in conjunction with Meru Controllers.
Representing a shift to the fourth generation WLAN architecture using
coordinated intelligent APs at the edge, the Meru Wireless LAN System delivers
toll quality voice over Wi-Fi, a ten-fold increase in client density, intelligent load
balancing, and lowest total cost of ownership.
The Only Solution to Deliver a Large Scale Voice and Data Wireless Access
Embedded Wi-Fi in laptops are almost ubiquitous and other mobile devices aren't
far behind. In addition, with emerging dual mode Wi-Fi/cellular phones the
number of clients in your enterprise is going to increase exponentially in only a
few short years. Deploy a system that is designed to deal with high densities of
voice and data clients, without sacrificing performance and that works with any
standard Wi-Fi certified client.
Tri-mode Access Point Provides Investment Protection
Enterprise applications and user density continue to increase. Tri-mode
802.11a/b/g clients are now commonplace in laptops. Ensure your network
supports the full breadth of wireless LAN clients with Meru Access Points.

Introducing the Meru Access Point AP200

The Meru Access Point AP200 family provides two models that conform to the speci-
fications provided by the IEEE 802.11a and 802.11g protocols and provide backward
compatibility for the 802.11b protocol. An AP200 works with most standard Wi-Fi
clients.
The AP201 houses a single 802.11a/b/g radio device
The AP208 supports a maximum of two radio devices that can simultaneously run
two protocols (802.11b, g or b/g on interface 1 and 802.11a on interface 2).
Alternately the second radio can be configured to run as an RF monitor to the Meru
Controller, providing real-time status of RF activity to optimize the wireless
network.
The Meru Access Point AP200 (referred hereafter as the AP200, unless specifically
referring to the AP201 or AP208) is housed in a metal case with a plastic removable
cover. As such, it can be used for plenum installations when the plastic cover is
removed.
