Four-radio wireless access point

The XtraThin BWAP-400 wireless access point (AP) is available in a four-radio version for use in interference-free wireless LAN systems with predictable RF performance.

The device incorporates four IEEE 802.11 radios, which allows the user four simultaneous non-overlapping channels at every location, or a quadrupling of their local capacity and bandwidth.

The device also operates on any of the four overlapping channel blankets and can be used in any Wi-Fi mode (a/b/g), which provides the flexibility to allocate channels and bandwidth to specific applications (voice or data), specific device types or certain user groups. Alternatively, three radios can be allocated to handle IP-packet traffic, while the fourth radio can be used as a dedicated ‘rogue AP and wireless intrusion’ detection sensor.

The device has no built-in intelligence, so it doesn’t require any special configuration at set-up and is client agnostic, thereby supporting any off-the-shelf client network interface card (NIC).

Being powered by standard power over ethernet provided by the wireless switch, it can be freely deployed as required in remote and hard-to-access locations.
