The W-IAP105 has dual radio, each radio capable of working ineither 2.4 or 5GHz bands, (dual radio, dual band) and includesbuilt-in internal omni-directional antennas. The W-IAP105 delivers300Mbps per radio, is built to provide years of trouble-free operationand is backed by an Extended Lifetime Warranty.Virtual controller technologyThe virtual controller technology in the Dell Networking W-IAP105delivers enterprise-grade controller capabilities without requiring aseparate access point controller. The virtual controller in a singleIAP is capable of controlling a multiple number of other IAPs in anetwork that are either local or dispersed across multiple locations.Like a dedicated controller, an IAP is able to perform key tasks suchas AP auto discovery, 802.1X authentication, role- and device-basedpolicy enforcement, rogue detection as well as specialized AdaptiveRadio Management™ (ARM) that optimizes WiFi client behavior bymaking sure that IAPs stay clear of RF interference. When multipleIAPs are connected, a single IAP acts as a primary virtual controller.In the event of primary virtual controller failure, another W-SeriesIAP in a chain automatically takes on the role with no disruptionto services. Scalability of an IAP network is bounded by Layer 2network design best practices.Ease of deploymentDell Networking W-IAPs are designed to be up and running inminutes. From a laptop, simply connect wirelessly to an SSID toperform over-the-air provisioning in quick, easy steps. To expand thenetwork, just install more Dell Networking W-IAPs — configurationis automatically uploaded to new units. You can dedicate one radioin dual-radio W-IAPs to form a wireless mesh type of network andeliminate cabling between W-IAPs.Management and visibilityMultiple Dell Networking W-IAP networks can be securely andcentrally managed by the Dell Networking W-Series AirWavesoftware management suite, allowing W-IAPs to operate hundredsof remote locations. With Dell Networking W-Series AirWave, IT hasreal-time visibility into users, mobile devices, and wired and wirelessLANs infrastructure, all from a single management console.Dell also offers OpenManage Network Manager (OMNM) networkmanagement software with a highly customizable, easy-to-use,web-based console. OMNM delivers support for the full line of DellNetworking wired devices and W-Series wireless devices and offersenhanced features for traffic flow analysis, deployment, monitoringand management. OMNM comes with 10 free licenses; each IAP-based network uses one license, you can use the remaining ninelicenses for your other Dell Networking devices.Investment protectionAs WLAN requirements expand, Dell Networking W-IAPs can bere-imaged as 802.11n campus APs and migrate to a centralizedMobility Controller architecture capable of supporting hundredsand thousands of APs. Firmware to covert an IAP to a campus APis available upon request. In addition to providing WLAN access,campus APs in a centralized, controller architecture can providewireless intrusion protection and powerful spectrum analysiscapabilities.TAA-compliantThe W-IAP105 TAA version is compliant with the guidelines put forthin the Trade Agreements Act (19 U.S.C. and 2501-2581), which isintended to promote products either made in the USA or free-trade-friendly countries.Mainstream 600Mbps802.11n access point withbuilt-in virtual controller,offering simplicity,manageability and accesspoint clustering capability.Dell Networking W-IAP105Access PointThe Dell Networking W-IAP105 is an 802.11n-based instant access point (IAP) that delivers theaffordability and simplicity of an entry-level enterprise-grade WiFi network.
