AirConnect 9550 / 9150 11n PoE
Universal, high-speed 11n wireless networking has just been made practical. These innovative and cost-effective 802.11n draft 2.0 PoE access points are suitable for business of all sizes and are available in two configurations.
- The 9550 dual
radio access point has both 2.4GHz and 5GHz 11n radios allowing it to
support simultaneous 2.4GHz 11b/g/n and
5GHz 11a/n wireless
connections.
- The 9150 single radio access point has a 2.4GHz 11n radio allowing it to support 2.4GHz 11b/g/n connections.
Either access point is powered using a single, standard 802.3af PoE
connection, eliminating the need for proprietary PoE injectors or bulky
and inefficient external power supplies.
The access points support the latest, most effective authentication
techniques to thwart intruders and simplify network management.
Advanced network security with Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA2), Advanced
Encryption Standard (AES) and IEEE 802.1X authentication protect
communication over the wireless LAN and help ensure only authorized
users access the network.
Enterprise class features include support for multiple SSIDs, 802.1Q
VLANs, and secure WDS bridging. Advanced MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple
Output) technology provides enhanced wireless range.
Features and Benefits
- ENABLING WIRELESS FREEDOM
Take advantage of the freedom of high-speed networking without wires
with the Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 9550 / 9150 access points. Wireless LANs
(WLANS) are an attractive solution for cost-effectively and securely
extending mobile access to wired network resources or creating
full-featured networks in small and medium businesses, remote sites, or
temporary locations.
- COMPLETE IEEE 802.11 STANDARDS SUPPORT
The 3Com 9550 supports all IEEE 802.11 2.4GHz and 5GHz networking
standards—11a, 11b, 11g and 11n draft 2.0.
The 3Com 9150 supports all IEEE 802.11 2.4GHz networking standards—11b,
11g and 11n draft 2.0 —so users can connect to the most common wireless
networks.
- PROVIDES PoE DEPLOYMENT FLEXIBILITY
PoE design provides flexible installation options. Standard 802.3af PoE
support makes it easier than ever to overcome installation problems by
eliminating the need for an AC power plug at each AP. Any 3Com PoE
Switch or other 802.3af-compliant PoE product supplies both power and
data to the access points through Category 5 or 6 Ethernet cable,
providing flexible installation options in hard-to-wire locations.
- SECURES AND PROTECTS WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS
3Com offers one of the most robust suites of standards-based security
on the market today. The access points deliver enterprise-class
security to businesses of all sizes. To protect wireless data, WPA2
with 128-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption provides the
latest, toughest standards-based security; WEP encryption is also
supported for legacy clients. To protect against unauthorized network
access, the access points support IEEE 802.1X authentication and
authorization through backend RADIUS servers using EAP-TLS, PEAP and
EAP-TTLS. MAC address access control and peer-to-peer client
restrictions provide further security options.
- PROVIDES FLEXIBLE SECURITY AND ACCESS CONTROL
Configure up to four SSIDs with different security profiles for groups
of users. IEEE 802.1Q-compliant VLAN support works with the multiple
SSID feature to control access to network resources and segment user
traffic.
- SOLVES COMPLEX CONNECTIVITY PROBLEMS
The Wireless Distribution System bridging feature solves complex
wireless connectivity problems. The access points support both point-
to-point and point-to-multipoint WDS links for flexible network
deployment.
- MIMO TECHNOLOGY
Advanced MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) technology provides enhanced wireless range.
- DELIVERS ENTERPRISE-CLASS FEATURES
3Com delivers superior business value by offering enterprise-class
solutions without the complexity. 3Com also backs each product with
global sales, service and support along with technology, financial and
operational strength.
- HIGH PERFORMANCE AND RELIABILITY
Desktop or notebook users can access network resources, the Internet
and email at 11n draft 2.0 speeds, ideal for multimedia applications. A
host of features and MIMO technology ensure reliable wireless
connections and excellent speeds. Wi-Fi® certification helps ensure
interoperability with other vendors.
- EASY TO SET UP AND USE
Setup and operation are extraordinarily easy; making the 3Com 11n
access points an intelligent choice for first-time wireless network
users. Create SSIDs with specific settings for each group of wireless
users. AP discovery utility and Web interface simplifies secure setup.
Preset defaults make setup and operation easy.
- BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY
The 9550 is compatible with existing IEEE 802.11a, 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g networks.
The 9150 is compatible with existing IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g networks.
