ZyXEL Wireless LAN Access Points 3000 Series
Best Choice for Enterprise
WLAN Deployments
ZyXEL’s Wireless LAN Access Points 3000 Series is a business-class access point that offers all the usual enterprise features in addition to being a hybrid wireless controller and RADIUS server. With the “hybrid” features, Wireless LAN Access Points 3000 brings the lowest TCO (total cost of ownership) by turning the traditional AP into a controller or a managed AP in contrast to traditional controller systems.
Key Benefits
No Extra Cost Converting Stand-alone AP Architecture into Management WLAN Architecture
The ZyXEL Wireless LAN Access Points 3000 Series is a “hybrid” AP that acts as a enterprise-class AP in “stand-alone” mode and/or in “AP controller” mode at the same time. The hybrid AP has full flexibility to deploy secure and reliable WLAN networks and is able to manage up to 24 APs and is suitable for companies with 300-500 staffs. In the initial phase constructing a WLAN, the 3000 Series AP can be configured as a fully functional AP in “stand-alone” mode; with more APs installed, the 3000 Series AP can be set to the AP controller mode to manage all other access points. When a new branch office is established, one of the managed 3000 Series AP can become another controller to manage a separate WLAN network.
Simplified Management with Scalability
The Wireless LAN Access Points 3000 Series can centrally manage up to 24 access points for diversified applications; these access points could include dual-band NWA-3160, dual-band and dual-radio NWA-3500, high-power NWA-3163, draft 11n 2.0 support NWA-3166 and outdoor dual-radio NWA3550. The capability to support a wide range of managed access points enables network administrators to choose the best AP for desired applications, and the management interface reminiscing single AP also helps the staff to easily oversee all the WLAN access points, even they are not on the same site.
Secure Architecture for Reliable, Scalable Wi-Fi Networks
The Wireless LAN Access Points 3000 Series meets the security and high availability demanded by enterprises as all communications between the hybrid AP and managed AP are performed in a secured tunnel. Since no configuration data is stored on the managed AP, sensitive setup information is not exposed even if the AP is stolen. The hybrid AP also provides the scalability to manage APs across different networks.
Enterprise-class Access Point Functionality
The Wireless LAN Access Points 3000 Series is a series of full-function, enterprise-class AP providing 802.11a/b/g connectivity, up to 8 SSIDs per radio, profile-based management, leading QoS technology for VoWiFi applications, as well as comprehensive management features for massive deployments.
Plenum Rating with Ease of Deployment
The Wireless LAN Access Points 3000 Series is also equipped with PoE (Power-over-Ethernet) capabilities designed for small to medium enterprises. It is built with LSOH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) material and is compliant with UL2043, the so-called plenum rating. It reduces the amount of toxic and corrosive gases emitted during the production process to protect people and equipments from the harmful emission. With the mentioned features, 3000 Series AP is the best choice to add wireless access to your existing business network or hospitality environment.
