Overview Of The 9160 G2 Wireless Gateway
The 9160 G2 Wireless Gateway provides continuous, high-speed access between your wire-
less and Ethernet devices. It is an advanced, standards-based solution for wireless
networking in small and medium-sized businesses. The 9160 G2 Wireless Gateway enables
zero-administration wireless local area network (WLAN) deployment while providing state-
of-the-art wireless networking features.
The 9160 G2 Wireless Gateway provides best-of-breed security, ease-of-administration and
industry standards—providing a standalone and fully-secured wireless network without the
need for additional management and security server software.

wireless clients to access the network and also move seamlessly between the 9160 G2s in
the network. The 9160 G2 can operate as a mini-controller, base station, a remote radio
module (RRM), and become part of a mapRF system.
