The multifunctional Dell Networking W-Series IAP 108 / 109
Remote Access Points deliver secure 802.11n wireless and wired
networking, and access to corporate resources from branch and
home oces.
With unmatched deployment flexibility, the W-IAP 108 / 109
series can operate in Instant mode or in controller-managed
mode where all network services are centralized by Dell mobility
controllers. Internal and External antenna models provide
even more deployment flexibility.
In Instant mode, traffic is locally bridged but it still provides
the flexibility of secure tunneling to mobility controllers.
The W-IAP 108 / 109 offers a wide range of enterprise-class
features, including role-based network access, policy-based
forwarding, and Adaptive Radio Management™ (ARM), which
optimizes Wi-Fi client performance and ensures that Dell W-Series
APs stay clear of interference.
At locations that require greater coverage, the W-IAP 108 / 109
can join an Instant WLAN cluster. Simply install additional W-Series
IAP’s and the entire cluster is managed as one. If one W-Series
Instant AP fails, another AP automatically takes over with no
disruption.
With dual-radios and wireless data rate up to 300 Mbps in the
2.4-GHz and 5-GHz radio bands, the W-IAP108 / 109 deliver high
performance 11n wireless capacity and coverage. In addition,
the W-IAP108 / 109 provide one 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet
uplink, one 10/100BASE-T local Ethernet port and one USB port
to connect to 3G and 4G networks.
When operating in W-Series Instant mode, the W-IAP108 / 109
deploy quickly, and get firmware updates from the cloud. They can
also be managed using AirWave, whether distributed across many
locations or at one site.
Advanced features
• Adaptive Radio Management (ARM) delivers best-in-class RF
management, including automatic transmit power and channel
control with auto coverage-hole correction
• Simplified firmware upgrades
• Spectrum analyzer remotely scans the 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz
radio bands to identify sources of RF interference.
• Security:
- With an OpenDNS service subscription, Dell W-Series
IAPs deliver integrated web filtering, malware and botnet
protection to every device connected to the WLAN
- Integrated Trusted Platform Module (TPM) for secure
storage of credentials and keys
- SecureJack-capable for secure tunneling of wired
Ethernet trac
- VPN configuration functionality enables the Instant AP
to create a single VPN tunnel to a W-Series mobility
controller in the data center. The mobility controller acts
solely as a VPN end-point and does not supply the Instant
AP with any configuration.
Operating modes
• Wireless:
- W-Series Instant Access Point (AP)
- Mobility controller-managed WLAN Access Point (AP) or
Remote AP (RAP)
- Air monitor (AM)
- Hybrid WLAN AP and AM
- Secure enterprise mesh
• Wired:
- 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet uplink port, 10/100BASE-T
Ethernet local port
- User authentication: 802.1X, captive portal, MAC
authentication or open access
- Policy-based forwarding for local resource access
