4. SmartPath AP (LWN602A) Overview
The SmartPath AP LWN602A is a high-performance wireless access point suitable for small offices, mobile employees, and tele-
commuters. The SmartPath AP has two radios—one for 802.11a/n and one for 802.11b/g/n, both of which can operate concur-
rently. Both platforms provide 2x2 MIMO and a single 10/100/1000 Ethernet port through which they can be powered using PoE
that follows the IEEE 802.3af standard or the 802.3at pre-standard. Optionally, they can be powered by an AC/DC desktop power
adapter.
NOTE: SmartPath AP (LWN602A) devices support 802.11n features. Of particular interest is their support of 2x2 MIMO. For more
information, see Section 3.4.1, MIMO and Section 3.4.2, Using MIMO with Legacy Clients.
4.1 Hardware Description
The SmartPath AP (LWN602A) is a multichannel wireless access point. It contains a dual-band radio that can operate at either 2.4
GHz or 5 GHz—but not in both bands simultaneously. The SmartPath AP contains a 2.4-GHz radio and a 5-GHz radio that can
operate concurrently through four internal antennas. The SmartPath AP supports a variety of Wi-Fi security protocols, including
WPA, and WPA2.
You can see the hardware components on the SmartPath AP in Figure 4-1. Each component is described in Table 4-1.
