Enhanced Power Management
The SVG1501 offers a number of power management features, including 802.11e U-APSD (WMM Power Save), which enable users to optimize the battery life of their Wi-Fi handset.
A highlight of the 802.11e power management standard is the synchronization between the SVG1501 and the Wi-Fi handset. The Wi-Fi handset receives data from the SVG1501 at infrequent intervals, allowing it to enter sleep mode when the phone is not in use, thereby minimizing the phone’s “on-time” and improving its battery utilization.
Built-In Security
The SVG1501 is equipped with a number of security features, including:
•802.11i security (WEP-64/128, WPA-PSK, WPA, WPA2, TKIP, AES, 802.1x)
•802.11i (pre-authentication)
•IPSEC/PPTP/L2TP NAT pass-through for VPN tunneling
•Wi-Fi Protected Setup ™ (WPS)
•User-friendly, secure mobile pairing
○○ Wi-Fi Wizard removes end-user complexity for secure PC client setup
○○ Push button configuration for WPS compliant clients
