Motorola Solutions - AP 8232 802.11ac Access Point

The Motorola AP 8232 access point combines powerful bandwidth, capacity and network performance capabilities with unmatched cost efficiency. This device features 3X3 MIMO with 3 spatial streams with MIMO power save. Operating on 20, 40 and 80 MHz channels the AP 8232 enables data rates of up to 1.3 Gbps in an 802.11ac radio. No additional hardware is needed for mounting and the small size and light weight enables configurations above drop ceiling, under ceiling or on wall.

802.11ac technology builds on advances of 802.11n, offering up to four times the bandwidth through additional technology advancements. Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) enables data to be sent in multiple streams (known as 'spatial streams') to a single device simultaneously to better utilize bandwidth. While MIMO exists in both 802.11n and 802.11ac, the bandwidth per spatial stream is nearly tripled, increasing from 150Mbps in 802.11n to 433Mbps. In addition, interference from 2.4 GHz devices is finally eliminated. Since 802.11ac operates only in the 5 GHz band, Bluetooth headsets, microwave ovens and more will no longer impact Wi-Fi network performance.

The AP 8232 secures all your wireless transmissions, ensuring compliance with the government or industry regulations your business may be subjected to, such as HIPAA in healthcare and PCI in retail. Your network is protected every second of every day with comprehensive integrated security features that include layer 2-7 stateful packet filtering firewall, AAA RADIUS services, wireless intrusion protection system (IPS), VPN gateway and location-based access control.
