Introduction

The AP-6511 Access Point, a component of Motorola's Wireless Controller System, links wireless
802.11a/b/g/n devices to the controller, enabling the growth of your wireless network with a
cost-effective alternative to standard access points.
The AP-6511 is an enterprise class 802.11n Access Point, installed in minutes anywhere a CAT-5 (or
better) cable is located. The AP-6511's mechanical design is optimized for installation over a standard
CAT-5 (or better) wall jack. The AP does not protrude into the wall cavity, allowing for an efficient heat
transfer and a universal installation over a standard Telco wiring plate. The AP-6511's modular design
allows the end-user to add switched Ethernet ports as-needed, and attach a standard keystone or
Leviton QuickPort® modular connector to the wall plate.
The AP-6511 Access Point ships with a single dual-band radio supporting the 802.11a/b/g/n radio
bands.
The AP-6511 Access Point receives all power and transfers data through the same CAT-5 or better
Ethernet cable. There is no additional power supply required. An 802.3af PoE Ethernet switch or mid
span power injector is required.
The AP-6511 can be ordered for US deployment (AP-6511-60010-US) or ordered for deployment
outside of the US (AP-6511-60010-WR).
