Product Overview
The Enterasys Wireless solution optimizes distribution of the processing load between Access
Points (APs) and wireless controllers to deliver exceptional performance while remaining easy
to manage. Complex, time-sensitive functions such as QoS, encryption, policy enforcement and
dynamic channel selection are handled by the AP, while global functions like configuration,
roaming, security management, and policy control are centralized at the wireless controller.
Furthermore, the innovative Enterasys Wireless VNS architecture is able to determine how to
forward traffic for the highest performance and reliability for each application. The result is a
WLAN infrastructure that can easily be leveraged to deploy VoWLAN and new high-performance
solutions such as HD video applications.
Enterasys Wireless Access Points are available in the following models:
• AP3610/3620–dualradio802.11a/b/g/nthinAPswithinternal/externalantennas
• AP2605–dualradio802.11a/b/gthinAPwithintegratedantennas
• AP2610/2620–dualradio802.11a/b/gthinAPswithinternal/externalantennas
• AP2630/2640–dualradio802.11a/b/gstandaloneAPswithinternal/externalantennasthat
can be operated in thin mode
• AP2650/2660–dualradio802.11a/b/gthinoutdoorindustrialAPswithinternal/
