10/10/03 Airespace Access Points
90-100584-004 Airespace Product Guide 43
Note that the Airespace AP is manufactured in a neutral color so it blends into most environments (but
can be painted), contains pairs of high-gain internal antennas for unidirectional (180-degree) or omni-
directional (360-degree) coverage (Airespace AP External and Internal Antennas), and is plenum-rated
for installations in hanging ceiling spaces.
In the Airespace System, most of the processing responsibility is removed from traditional SOHO (small
office, home office) APs and resides in the Airespace Wireless Switches and WLAN Appliances. The
following figure shows Airespace Access Points
and Third-Party Access Points connected to the 4012 or
4024 Airespace Wireless Switch front panel in Direct Connect Mode
.
