Zebra WSAP-5110-100-WW Access Port

Powerful Enterprise-Level Next-Generation Wireless Technology

Access Ports are a key component of Symbol Technologies' award winning Wireless Switch System, the second-generation wireless LAN architecture that does more, yet costs less. Working in conjunction with Symbol's Wireless Switch 2000, the AP 300 Access Port delivers robust and feature rich IEEE 802.11a/b/g connectivity. Access Ports substantially reduce the cost of deploying, implementing and managing a wireless LAN, while significantly increasing features, functionality and security of the wireless LAN infrastructure.

More Functionality for a Fraction of the Cost of Access Points

Access Ports are much leaner and only a fraction of the cost of first generation WLAN access points, due to the centralized architecture of Symbol's Wireless Switch System. Access Ports connect to a centralized processing and switching engine that resides in the WS 2000 Wireless Switches via standard CAT 5 cabling—just as the access point connects to an Ethernet hub or switch. But unlike the access point, features, functionality, security and management are all centralized in the Wireless Switch, effectively allowing the Access Ports to become zero configuration devices. Maintenance and management, required for each and every access point, is effectively eliminated. Access Ports, once verified as an authorized network device, obtain initial configuration information as well as ongoing updates automatically from the Wireless Switch. Advanced radio processing ensures the most robust wireless performance and range, even in the most demanding environments.

The result is a wireless LAN that delivers IEEE 802.11a/b/g value—more functionality, low cost and high investment protection. Operational costs are reduced through centralized management. The leaner, less expensive hardware reduces capital expenditures, and the ability to upgrade features centrally on the switch future-proofs your investment. Symbol's Access Ports, in conjunction with the Wireless Switch, offer increased functionality with a comprehensive array of features, including:Dual-radio 802.11a and 802.11g Design Simultaneous service to 802.11a, 802.11b and 802.11g mobile devices provides high-bandwidth wireless connectivity at speeds of up to 54 Mbps in both the 2.4 and 5.2 GHz ISM bands.Thin AP Design - The AP 300, as with all other Symbol Access Ports, requires no configuration or manual firmware maintenance. The Symbol Wireless Switch discovers Access Ports on the network and automatically downloads all configuration parameters and firmware. Installation, maintenance and troubleshooting costs are greatly reduced.Flexible Mounting Options The AP 300 is designed to provide maximum flexibility for fast and easy installation, offering wall, ceiling and above ceiling tile mounting options. The internal antenna version snaps onto the T-bars of suspended ceilings without the use of any hardware, reducing installation time. The external antenna version can be installed above ceiling tiles, and all hardware to install a lightpipe through the ceiling tile is provided. Either version can also be wall mounted.
