The
Avaya AP-5 is a new 802.11a single-radio Access Point designed for the
enterprise. The Avaya AP-5 uses the 802.11a Wireless LAN standard which
provides enterprises with greater scalability, better interference
immunity, and significantly higher speeds, up to 54 Mbps and beyond,
which simultaneously allows for higher bandwidth applications and more
users.
Part of the Avaya Converged Mobility Solutions, the Avaya AP-5 is easy
to install and simple to manage, providing maximum security and
flexibility to mobile users and network managers.
High Performance
The Avaya AP-5 utilizes a proven, second generation 802.11a chip set
offering high processing power increasing performance and which is ready
to support future enhancements. The AP-5 features a turbo mode achieving
twice the 802.11a data rates at speeds up to 108 Mbps. This is
accomplished by using two radio channels to use twice the bandwidth.
(Turbo is not supported in some regulatory domains, for example, ETSI,
Japan). The AP-5 supports 802.3af Power-over-Ethernet reducing
installation cost by supplying power to the unit via the network. The
AP-5 provides flexible mounting options: wall, ceiling, and table stand,
