Motorola AP 6521 Wireless Access Point The versatile, independent AP 6521 access point is designed to lower the cost of deploying & operating a secure, reliable 802.11n wireless LAN (WLAN). It enables controller-less operations at small to medium sites by serving as a virtual controller & coordinating the operation of up to 24 neighboring access points for mobility & Qo S services. The access point features a MIMO radio, superior receive & transmit sensitivity, & a Gig E WAN uplink port. The embedded Wi NG 5 intelligence ensures that traffic is locally forwarded along the most efficient paths without sacrificing quality of service & security implemented at the access point itself. Features The AP 6521 is a versatile access point with the cost-efficiency of a single radio. With its Wi NG 5 intelligence, this access point offers higher throughput along with direct forwarding, security, Qo S services & site survivability. Automatic channel & power optimization The SMART RF feature automatically optimizes power & channel selection so each user gets always-on high-quality access & mobility. High reliability Optimizes network availability through its central & pre-emptive intelligence, which dynamically senses weak or failing signals, securely moves user to alternate APs, & boosts signal power to ensure uninterrupted mobile user access. Gap-free security
Includes:: layer 2-7 stateful packet filtering firewall, AAA RADIUS services, Wireless IPS-lite, VPN gateway, & location-based access control. Fast & easy deployment Requires no configuration or manual firmware maintenance. The Motorola wireless controller discovers access points on the network & automatically downloads all configuration parameters & firmware, greatly reducing installation, maintenance & troubleshooting costs for Layer 2 & Layer 3 deployments. Device & network acceleration Device & network performance can be accelerated through a virtual LAN feature via the switch/controller. Each AP 6521 access point can be virtualized into four unique VLANs, which can be customized to direct broadcast traffic to the intended recipient. This reduces overall network traffic while improving device performance & battery life up to 25%. This also reduces the overall number of access points required to provide unique device services. Full 802.11n performance with standard 802.3af Simplifies & reduces total cost of installation using standard Power-over-Ethernet (Po E). Mobility Supports fast, secure roaming. Security This unique multi-purpose device can execute & enforce the IDS/IPS security policies configured in the Motorola wireless switch, & can also be utilized as a 24x 7 dedicated sensor with Wireless IPS from Air Defense. Application support Supports Call Admission Control for optimized Vo WLAN performance, as well as video streaming & data throughput for 802.11a/b/g/n clients.
