Dell PowerConnect W-AP104 and
W-AP105 Access Points
The multifunction Dell PowerConnect W-AP104 and W-AP105 are
indoor, dual-radio 802.11n access points (AP) designed for high-
density deployments in offices, hospitals, schools and retail stores.
These compact, high speed APs delivers wire-like performance at
data rates up to 300 Mbps per radio.
The W-AP104 features two 2x2 MIMO dual-band 2.4-GHz/5-GHz
radios with the interface to connect external antennas while the
W-AP105 features the same configuration with integrated internal
antennas. Both are built to provide years of trouble-free operation
and are backed by an Extended Lifetime Warranty.
Working with Dell's line of centralized PowerConnect W Series
Controllers, the W-AP104 and W-AP105 deliver secure, high-speed
wireless network services for user mobility that works seamlessly
within enterprise, branch and campus network deployments.
802.11n provides speed and reliability similar to a wired LAN. It also
increases performance by utilizing techniques such as channel
bonding, block acknowledgement and MIMO radios. Advanced
antenna technology also increases range and reliability.
Key to ensuring wire-like performance and reliability is Adaptive
Radio Management (ARM) capability, which manages the 2.4-GHz
and 5-GHz radio bands to deliver maximum client performance.
Adaptive Radio Management enables different 802.11 a, b,g
and n wireless clients to operate on the same network at
maximum possible performance through the use of band steering,
airtime fairness policies between clients, and by managing channel
interference that may occur between access points.
The multifunction W-AP104 and W-AP105 can be configured through
the controller to provide wireless LAN (WLAN) access with part-
time air monitoring, dedicated air monitoring for wireless intrusion
protection, Remote AP (RAP) functionality or secure enterprise mesh.
The W-AP104 and W-AP105 feature dual 100/1000 BASE-T Ethernet
interfaces and operate from standard Power-over-Ethernet (PoE)
sources or a 12-volt DC power supply.
