With the growth
in high bandwidth applications, such as storage and video in the
work place, network performance is essential. Wireless
technology is no longer lagging behind wired performance. The
introduction of the Linksys Business Series WAP4400N wireless
Access Point answers the growing business need for access,
speed and security.
The Access Point uses the very latest wireless
networking technology, Wireless-N (draft 802.11n). By overlaying
the signals of multiple radios, Wireless-Ns ¡§Multiple In,
Multiple Out¡¨ (MIMO) technology multiplies the effective data
rate. Unlike ordinary wireless networking technologies that are
confused by signal reflections, MIMO actually uses these
reflections to increase the range and reduce ¡§dead spots¡¨ in the
wireless coverage area.
The Linksys Wireless-N Access Point lets you
connect Wireless-N (802.11n), Wireless-G (802.11g) or Wireless-B
(802.11b) devices to your wired network so you can add PCs to
the network with no cabling hassle. Power over Ethernet support
makes it easy to install -- you can mount the Access Point
anywhere, even without ready access to a power plug. With
appropriate Power Over Ethernet support at the other end, you
only need to run one cable to the Access Point to deliver both
data and power. Of course, you can also use the included AC
adapter if your installation point has power available nearby.
Moreover, the integrated QoS features provide
consistent voice and video quality on both the wired and
wireless networks, enabling the deployment of business qualilty
VoIP and video applications.
To protect your data and privacy, the Linksys
Wireless-N Access Point supports both Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
and the industrial-strength wireless security of Wi-Fi Protected
Access™ (WPA), encoding all your wireless transmissions with
powerful encryption. The MAC Address filter lets you decide
exactly who has access to your wireless network, and advanced
logging keeps you appraised. Configuration is a snap with the
web browser-based configuration utility.
The Linksys Wireless-N Access Point with Power
Over Ethernet is the best way to add wireless access to your
existing business network. |
