Allied Telesis IEEE 802.11ac 2.20 Gbit/s Wireless Access Point

AT-AP500 Enterprise-grade wireless access points support the latest IEEE 802.11ac standard, including simultaneous transmission to multiple clients (MU-MIMO), maximizing wireless capacity and providing the best connectivity for Wi-Fi devices in high-density environments.

Cloud-based management simplifies deployments across large campuses and branch offices, minimizing the total cost of ownership of the wireless network.

Key Features

Cloud-based management

• For large-scale campus-wide deployments and distributed branch offices deployments, the Enterprise-class cloud management enables centralized control, operation and administration for thousands of Access Points (APs).

IEEE 802.11ac technology

• With the IEEE 802.11ac wave 2 radio, the AT-AP500 supports up to 2.2Gbps of raw wireless capacity in the 5GHz band.

• Both radios are capable of performing spectrum analysis while simultaneously providing client access (future software release).

• 802.11ac wave 2 MU-MIMO means that the AT-AP500 can simultaneously send traffic to up to four client devices.

Multiple-SSIDs and SSID-to-VLAN mapping

• SSID enables wireless connectivity for client devices that are assigned different security policies. Mapping SSIDs to VLANs creates logical network separation, which differentiates between communication by application, functions or user communities.

Dynamic VLANs

• Dynamic VLANs allow VLANs to be dynamically assigned on a per-user (wireless client) basis. The Dynamic VLAN feature interacts with an external RADIUS server, so that user information is centralized in RADIUS for ease of management. It is not necessary to configure user information on APs.

• The AT-AP500 also supports RADIUS server redundancy, via configuration of a secondary RADIUS server.

PoE - IEEE 802.3at conformance

• The AT-AP500 conforms to the IEEE 802.3at standard. This enables simplified deployment, lower installation costs and centralized power management capabilities for critical network devices.

Mounting options

• The AT-AP500 includes a kit for easy mounting on both walls and ceilings.
