D-Link AirPremier DWL-8200AP 802.11a/g Managed Dualband Access Point
D-Link®, an industry pioneer in wireless networking, introduces a
solution for businesses seeking to deploy powerful and reliable
Wireless LANs. D-Link unveils its new AirPremier DWL-8200AP 802.11a/g
Managed Dualband Access Point, designed specifically for business-class
environments such as large or enterprise corporations, to provide
secure and manageable dualband wireless LAN options for network
administrators.
The
DWL-8200AP Managed Dualband Access Point allows network administrators
to deploy a highly manageable and extremely robust dualband wireless
network. The two detachable high-gain dualband antennas provide optimal
wireless coverage in both the 802.11a and 11g bands. Enclosed in a
plenum metal chassis, the DWL-8200AP adheres to strict fire codes and
ensures complete safety. For advanced installations, this new
high-speed Access Point has an integrated 802.3af Power over Ethernet
(PoE) support, allowing installation of this device in areas where
power outlets are not readily available.
The
DWL-8200AP Managed Dualband Access Point delivers concurrent wireless
performance with maximum wireless signal rates of up to 54Mbps* in both
bands simultaneously. With dualband connectivity, two networks are
created both running at full bandwidth speeds, offering a significant
increase in total network capacity. At the same time, the DWL-8200AP
remains fully backward compatible with the IEEE 802.11b standard in the
2.4GHz frequency.
Since
wireless security remains a strong concern among businesses, the
DWL-8200AP provides the latest wireless security technologies by
supporting both Personal and Enterprise versions of WPA and WPA2 (also
known as 802.11i) with RADIUS support to ensure complete network
protection. Other security features included in this Access Point are
MAC Address Filtering, Wireless LAN segmentation, Disable SSID
Broadcast, and support for Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)
Encryption.
The
DWL-8200AP also features Multiple SSID support to further help segment
users on the network. Adminstrators can create different SSIDs for
guests or different departments to limit access. The DWL-8200AP also
includes a wireless client isolation mechanism, which limits direct
client-to-client communication.
To
maximize total return on investment, the DWL-8200AP can be configured
to optimize network performance based on any one of its multiple
operation modes. The DWL-8200AP supports Access Point, Wireless
Distribution System (WDS) with Access Point, and WDS to provide network
access to clients and/or to serve as the wireless network backbone.
With WDS support, network administrators can set up multiple
DWL-8200APs throughout the facility and configure them to bridge with
one another on one band and provide network access on the other.
Network
administrators can manage all the DWL-8200AP's settings via its
web-based configuration utility or with Telnet. For advanced network
management, administrators can use D-Link's AP Manager or D-View SNMP
management module to configure and manage multiple access points from a
single location. In addition to a streamlined management process, the
AP Manager or D-View software provide network administrators with the
means of verifying and conducting regular maintenance checks without
wasting resources by sending personnel out to physically verify proper
operation.
With
integrated dualband functionality, PoE support, extensive
manageability, versatile operation modes, and solid security
enhancements, the new D-Link AirPremier DWL-8200AP Managed Dualband
Access Point provides SMB environments with a business-class solution
for deploying a wireless network in the workplace.
