Wireless 108Mbps 11g PoE Access Point.

WLANs are an attractive solution for cost-

effectively and securely extending mobile

access to wired network resources or

creating full-featured networks in small

and medium businesses, remote sites, or

temporary locations. Each access point (AP)

supports up to 64 wireless users, so there is

plenty of room for growth.

Flexible Installation with Power over

Ethernet (PoE)

PoE support makes it easier than ever to

overcome installation problems by elimi-

nating the need for an AC power plug at

each AP. The 3Com Baseline Switch 2226-

PWR Plus or other 802.3af-compliant PoE

products supply both power and data to

the access points through Category 5 or 6

Ethernet cable, giving you flexible installa-

tion options in hard to wire or reach

locations.

Strong Encryption, Authentication, and

Authorization

3Com delivers enterprise-class security

features to small and medium businesses.

To shield wireless communications at the

source, WPA AES and TKIP encryption

provide the latest, toughest standards-

based security; WEP encryption supports

legacy 802.11b wireless clients. For addi-

tional protection, the access point supports

802.1X and MAC address access control,

authentication, and authorization through

backend RADIUS servers. 

Flexible Security and Access Control 

You can configure and store up to four

SSIDs with different security profiles for

groups of users. 802.1Q-compliant VLAN

support works with the multiple SSID

feature to control access to network

resources and segment user traffic.

WDS Bridging Capability Solves

Complex Connectivity Problems

The Wireless Distribution System feature

solves complex wireless connectivity prob-

lems. The access point supports both

point-to-point and point-to-multipoint

WDS links as well as repeater and client

bridge modes for flexible network deploy-

ment.

Enterprise-Class Features for Small,

Mid-Sized Businesses

offering enterprise-class solutions without

the complexity. 3Com also backs each

product with global sales, service, and

support along with technology, financial,
