FEATURES 3Com® Wireless LAN Managed Access Point 3850 CONVERGENCE-OPTIMIZED WIRELESS NETWORKING Distributed forwarding› The 3Com Managed Access Point 3850 with distributed forwarding optimizes traffic flow, reducing latency. IEEE 802.11i PMK cached roaming› When roaming between access points, security credentials no longer must be completely reauthenticated, helping reduce dropped voice sessions. Session-based bandwidth reservation› Voice QoS can be assured with IEEE 802.11e TSPEC Call Admissions Control (CAC). Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM)› WMM grants preference to high-priority traffic like voice. Neighbor Report advertisement› Load balancing using IEEE 802.11k directs traffic to a neighbor AP that has a lighter load or offers enhanced services. SECURITY Strong, multiple encryption› IEEE 802.11i WPA2 Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), WPA dynamic Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) and Wi-Fi Equivalent Privacy (WEP) packet encryption help ensure strong data security. Virtual private group support› Administrators can independently encrypt and isolate subnets or VLANs using the same SSID. Intrusion Detection and Protection› Multi-band sweeps scan the RF environment, searching for rogue access points, denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, ad-hoc users and sources of RF interference and takes action to mitigate the intrusion. Theft- and hacker-safe› No local data store of sensitive network data; if a MAP is stolen, no secure information goes with it. INSTALLATION EASE AND FLEXIBILITY Simple installation› No pre-staging or pre-configuration is required for new MAPs; replacement MAPs inherit configuration information from their WLAN switch or controller. Flexible deployment topologies› MAP can be directly or remotely connected to their WLAN switch or controller, offering a wide variety of flexible deployment scenarios. PoE support› Both data and power are supplied by a 3Com wireless switch or any 802.11af-compliant device over Ethernet cabling, eliminating the need for power adapters, power cords, or AC outlets. Dual-band operation› The MAP 3850 supports IEEE 802.11a and 802.11b/g simultaneously for user flexibility. SCALABILITY AND RESILIENCY Scales to hundreds of users› Supports up to 500 simultaneous clients. Intelligent switching› Enables distributed forwarding of user traffic through the MAP. PoE and data port redundancy› If the MAP loses either the LAN or PoE connection on either port, it will automatically failover to the other port, increasing network uptime. COMPREHENSIVE MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL Automated transmit power and radio channel assignment› Transmit power settings and radio channel assignments can be set to optimize the RF cell size and to support international requirements. Remote management› Channel number, power level, SSIDs and security settings are all handled by the wireless LAN switch or controller for additional security; MAPs are not operational in stand-alone mode. 3
