Datasheet

The multifunctional Dell W-IAP155 Series delivers secure 802.11n
wireless and wired networking to SMBs and access to corporate
resources from branch and home oces.
The W-IAP155 Series can be deployed flexibly in either “virtual
controller” (or “Instant”) mode (managed by Airwave Management
Platform) or in “Controller Managed” mode where all trac is
centralized by Dell Networking W-Series Mobility Controllers.
The W-IAP155 Series oers a variety of enterprise-class features,
including role-based network access, policy-based forwarding, and
Adaptive Radio Management
™
, which gives remote workers and
SMBs the same high-quality “enterprise class” WiFi experience.
At locations that require greater coverage, the W-IAP155 can join a
Dell Instant
™
WLAN cluster. Simply install additional W-IAP155s or
any Instant Access Point (AP) and the entire cluster is managed as
one. If one Instant AP fails, another AP automatically takes over with
no disruption.
Delivering wireless data rates of up to 450Mbps, the dual-radio
W-IAP155 has five Ethernet ports (one uplink and four local) and a
USB port for connecting to 3G and 4G networks. Optionally, the
W-IAP155 can supply Power over Ethernet (PoE) on two of its local
Ethernet ports to power connected IP phones and other devices.
