KEY BENEFITS

(CONTINUED)

SECURE AND PROTECT WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS

3Com delivers enterprise-class security features to small and medium businesses. To shield wireless communications at the source, WPA2 with TKIP/AES encryption provides the latest, toughest standards-based security—WEP encryption supports legacy 802.11b wireless clients. For additional protection, this access point supports IEEE 802.1X and MAC address access control, authentication, and authorization through backend RADIUS servers.

PROVIDE FLEXIBLE SECURITY AND ACCESS CONTROL

You can configure and store up to four SSIDs with different security profiles for groups of users. IEEE 802.1Q-compliant VLAN support works with the multiple SSID feature to control access to network resources and segment user traffic.

SOLVE COMPLEX CONNECTIVITY PROBLEMS

The Wireless Distribution System bridging feature solves complex wireless connectivity problems. The access point supports both point-to-point and point-to-multipoint WDS links as well as repeater and client bridge modes for flexible network deployment.

DELIVER ENTERPRISE-CLASS FEATURES

3Com delivers superior business value by offering enterprise-class solutions without the complexity. 3Com also backs each product with global sales, service and support along with technology, financial and operational strength.
