About the ProSafe Dual Band Wireless-N Access Point WNDAP350 The ProSafe Dual Band Wireless-N Access Point WNDAP350is the basic building block of a wireless LAN infrastructure. It provides connectivity between Ethernet wired networks and radioequipped wireless notebook systems, desktop systems, print servers, and other devices. The WNDAP350 provides wireless connectivity to multiple wireless network devices within a fixed range or area of coverage, interacting with a wireless network interface card (NIC) via an antenna. Typically, an individual in-building access point provides a maximum connectivity area of about a 500 foot radius. Consequently, the ProSafe Dual Band Wireless-N Access Point WNDAP350 can support a small group of users in a range of several hundred feet. Most access points can handle between 10 to 32 users simultaneously per radio. The WNDAP350 wirelss access point acts as a bridge between the wired LAN and wireless clients. Connecting multiple WNDAP350s via a wired Ethernet backbone can further lengthen the wireless network coverage. As a mobile computing device moves out of the range of one access point, it moves into the range of another. As a result, wireless clients can freely roam from one Access Point to another and still maintain seamless connection to the network. Key Features and Standards The WNDAP350 wirelss access point is easy-to-use and provides solid wireless and networking support. It also offers a wide range of security options. 1-1 v1.1, November 2009

About the ProSafe Dual Band Wireless-N Access Point
WNDAP350
The ProSafe Dual Band Wireless-N Access Point WNDAP350is the basic building block of a
wireless LAN infrastructure. It provides connectivity between Ethernet wired networks and radio-
equipped wireless notebook systems, desktop systems, print servers, and other devices.
The WNDAP350 provides wireless connectivity to multiple wireless network devices within a
fixed range or area of coverage, interacting with a wireless network interface card (NIC) via an
antenna. Typically, an individual in-building access point provides a maximum connectivity area
of about a 500 foot radius. Consequently, the ProSafe Dual Band Wireless-N Access Point
WNDAP350 can support a small group of users in a range of several hundred feet. Most access
points can handle between 10 to 32 users simultaneously per radio.
The WNDAP350 wirelss access point acts as a bridge between the wired LAN and wireless
clients. Connecting multiple WNDAP350s via a wired Ethernet backbone can further lengthen the
wireless network coverage. As a mobile computing device moves out of the range of one access
point, it moves into the range of another. As a result, wireless clients can freely roam from one
Access Point to another and still maintain seamless connection to the network.
Key Features and Standards
The WNDAP350 wirelss access point is easy-to-use and provides solid wireless and networking
support. It also offers a wide range of security options.
