Dell Networking W-AP114/115 Access Points
Optimize client performance in high-density WiFi environments
Sorry, this product is no longer available, Please, contact us for a replacement product!
Overview:
Multifunctional and affordable 110 Series wireless access points (APs) maximize mobile device performance in high-density WiFi environments while minimizing interference from LTE cellular networks.
These high-performance 802.11n APs deliver wireless data rates up to 450Mbps per radio and employ three spatial streams to support 50% more throughput and mobile devices than previousgeneration APs.
The W-AP115 and W-IAP115 APs feature a 2.4GHz and a 5GHz radio, each with 3x3:3 MIMO and three integrated omni-directional downtilt antennas. The W-AP114 and W-IAP114 models feature the same radios with three combined and diplexed external antenna connectors.
Advanced Cellular Coexistence (ACC)
The 110 Series ACC feature enables Dell Networking WLANs to perform at peak efficiency by minimizing interference from 3G/4G LTE networks, distributed antenna systems and commercial small cell/femtocell equipment.
Wi-Fi client optimization
To eliminate sticky client behavior while users roam, the Dell Networking 110 Series features patented ClientMatch™ technology, which continuously gathers session performance metrics from mobile devices.
If a mobile device moves away from an AP or if RF interference impedes performance, ClientMatch automatically steers the device to a better AP.
Quality of service for Lync
Dell Networking 110 Series APs additionally support priority handling and policy enforcement for individual Microsoft Lync media on the same device, including encrypted videoconferencing, voice, chat and desktop sharing.and 5GHz radio bands to optimize WiFi client performance and ensures that APs stay clear of RF interference.
Best-in-class RF management
All Dell Networking W-Series APs include Adaptive Radio Management™ (ARM) technology, which is essential to creating the most reliable, high-performance WLANs. ARM manages the 2.4GHz and 5GHz radio bands to optimize WiFi client performance and ensures that APs stay clear of RF interference.
Dell Networking 110 Series APs can be configured to provide part-time or dedicated air monitoring for spectrum analysis and wireless intrusion protection, VPN tunnels to extend remote locations to corporate resources, and wireless mesh connections where Ethernet drops are not available.
Choose your operating mode
110 Series APs offer a choice of operating modes to meet your unique management and deployment requirements.
Controller-managed mode: When managed by Dell Networking W-Series Mobility Controllers, 110 Series APs offer centralized configuration, data encryption, policy enforcement and network services, as well as distributed and centralized traffic forwarding. Refer to the Mobility Controller data sheets for more details.
Instant™ mode: In Instant mode, a single AP automatically distributes the network configuration to other Instant APs in the WLAN. Simply power-up an Instant AP, configure it over the air, and plug in the other APs — the entire process takes about five minutes.
If WLAN and network requirements change, a built-in migration path allows Dell Networking 110 Series Instant APs to become part of a WLAN that is centrally managed by a Mobility Controller.
