http://www.pepwave.com 4 Copyright © 5/23/16 Pepwave 1 Introduction and Scope Our AP Series of enterprise-grade 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi access points is engineered to provide fast, dependable, and flexible operation in a variety of environments, all controlled by an easy-to-use centralized management system. From the small but powerful AP One AC mini to the top-of-the-line AP One 300M our AP Series offers wireless networking solutions to suit any business need, and every access point is loaded with essential features such as multiple SSIDs, VLAN, WDS, and Guest Protect. A single access point provides as many as 32 virtual access points (16 on single-radio models), each with its own security policy (WPA, WPA2, etc.) and authentication mechanism (802.1x, open, captive portal, etc.), allowing faster, easier, and more cost-effective network builds. Each member of the AP Series family also features a high-powered Wi-Fi transmitter that greatly enhances coverage and performance while reducing equipment costs and maintenance.

http://www.pepwave.com 5 Copyright © 5/23/16 Pepwave 2 Product Features and Benefits Key features and benefits of AP Series access points: • High-powered Wi-Fi transmitter enhances coverage and lowers cost of ownership. • Independent security policies and encryption mechanisms for each virtual access point allow fast, flexible, cost-effective network builds. • Centralized management via InControl reduces maintenance expense and time. • WDS support allows secure and fast network expansion. • Guest Protect support guards sensitive business data and subnetworks. • WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia) and QoS (Quality of Service) support keeps video and other bandwidth-intensive data flowing fast and lag-free. 3 Package Contents
