The 3Com wireless LAN Managed Access Point (MAP) 3950 delivers secure, voice-ready reliable connectivity for WLAN users. An integral component of the 3Com Wireless LAN Mobility System, the 3Com MAP 3950 with intelligent switching offers both centralized and distributed data forwarding, with the MAP automatically determining the best alternative based on the requirements of the underlying application. This allows it to support the most demanding wireless applications, including Voice over Wi-Fi and wireless video. Fully controlled by a WLAN controller with which it securely communicates, the MAP contains no local data store for sensitive data, eliminating the chance of information being compromised due to hacking or theft. The end result helps reduce capital expenses and ongoing administrative costsÂ— all while keeping the wireless LAN secure. The 3Com Managed Access Point 3950 is compliant with the IEEE 802.11n Draft 2.0 standard and is Wi-Fi CERTIFIED. With dual radios as in this AP, the standard projects theroetical aggregate data rates of up to 600 Mbps. Upon ratification, a simple software upgrade converts the MAP to compliance with the final standard. Distributed forwarding in the 3Com Managed Access Point 3950 optimizes traffic flow, reducing latency, while providing ultra high performance and massive scalability. Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) or SpectraLink Voice Priority (SVP) helps ensure optimal QoS for voice traffic. With remote management, the arduous process of initially configuring and deploying access points (APs) is vastly simplified because configuration settings are centrally distributed for consistency and accuracy. And for easier long-term management, any added MAPs inherit configuration settings from their wireless switch or controller.
