High Performance 802.11n Architecture for Next-Generation Mobility

The evolutionary adoption of 802.11n is not only logical, it will ultimately be the primary WLAN infrastructure standard as enterprises migrate toward converged high-speed wireless networks. Businesses will eventually need to upgrade their wireless infrastructure to accommodate the greater bandwidth and throughput capabilities of next-generation- applications, along with voice and IP-based solutions.

Next-Generation applications enabled by 802.11n:

Bluesocket’s BlueSecure Controllers are fully compatible with coming 802.11 Draft-n 2.0 access point technology, which means companies interested in deploying Draft-n 2.0 can take advantage of the company’s Secure Mobility® technology for all wireless data and voice applications.

Bluesocket was the first vendor to introduce an enterprise class MIMO AP and continuing this lead in MIMO technology, the BSAP-1800 will be the first product with 2nd generation MIMO antenna technology, delivering customers market-proven performance and coverage advantages.

The BSAP-1800 includes two 11n-based radios, a custom embedded antenna array with options for external antennas and a GigE port to support 2x 150Mbps streams to deliver market leading coverage and throughput.  The BSAP-1800 will also support the 802.3af power standard with a single-port Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) solution.
