Core Features of AP-800
Two Independent Multi-Band MIMO Radios
Proxim’s Access Points have two independent multi-band MIMO radios (802.11a/b/g/n ) that offer significant increase in
capacity and performance within a given bandwidth and power.
The 802.11n Access Points operates on both 2.4 Ghz and 5 GHz radio bands and Proxim’s Access Points provides you
with the facility of selecting the band on which you would like to operate on.
Both these radios can be planned independently as per your network requirements. Using the single MAC protocol, it
operates with multiple frequency layers and this improves the range, coverage, and throughput in both frequency bands.
802.11n Multiple Input and Multiple Output (MIMO)
The MIMO technology is used for multiple antennas at both the transmitter and receiver to improve communication
performance. Using the MIMO technology, the Access Points can offer significant increase in data throughput and link
range without additional band width or transmit power. This is achieved by high spectral efficiency and link reliability or
diversity.
For the 802.11n Access Points, MIMO is the heart for the entire system because it uses a third, spatial dimension -
beyond frequency and time as a carrier of information.
Security
Proxim’s Access Points utilize robust industry-leading security protocols such as WPA and WPA2 to protect sensitive
data that is transmitted over the wireless LAN. You can configure unique security settings for each BSSID according to
your network requirements making it more secure.
Quality of Service (QoS)
The AP supports Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM), which is a solution for QoS functionality based on the IEEE 802.11e
specification. WMM defines enhancements to the MAC for wireless LAN applications with Quality of Service
requirements, which include transport of voice and video traffic over IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs. Using this parameter
you can configure the feature that affects the flow of traffic from AP to client station and vice-versa. And also prioritize the
traffic according to your network requirements so that flow of traffic is eased out without loosing any information.
Software Upgrade
You can upgrade the firmware easily as and when you want either through web-GUI, CLI using HTTP or TFTP.
Compliant to Wireless Standards
The AP-800 adheres to the 802.11a, 802.11b/g/n draft 2.0 standards that enable you to get the best performance from
your wireless network and support a wide range of compliant devices.
The device can be powered by a 5 VDC input and also by standard 802.3af compliant Gigabit Ethernet PoE device.
