Enterprise-Class Wireless Access Point Extends Enterprise Mobility Beyond the Office Walls
CHICAGO, Jan. 8 -- PROMAT 2007 (Booth #4255) -- Symbol Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:SBL), The Enterprise Mobility Company(TM), today unveiled the AP-5181 Access Point, a rugged enterprise-class access point designed to securely and cost-effectively extend corporate networks beyond the office walls, and withstand harsh outdoor environments, providing real-time access for mobile workers.
The AP-5181 Access Point was specifically developed for outdoor use and can withstand wind, rain, lightning, extreme temperatures and power surges. An optional heavy-weather mounting kit is designed to protect the AP-5181 Access Point from windblown debris at velocities of up to 130 miles per hour. The dual-radio AP-5181 Access Point is mesh-capable, allowing for the creation of self-assembling, self-healing, flexible outdoor wireless networks that can be easily-managed remotely with Symbol's Wireless Next Generation (Wi-NG) architecture.
"Organizations are extending their wireless network outside the office walls to provide real-time access to business-critical information in harsh outdoor environments such as material and shipping yards, loading bay distribution centers, refinery sites and airports," said Sujai Hajela, vice president and general manager of Symbol's Wireless Infrastructure Division. "The AP-5181 Access Point can be implemented outdoors without the added cost of installing network cable or fiber, and maintains enterprise-level network protection, security and manageability needed to support mobile applications."
The AP-5181 Access Point will be available with Symbol On Site System Support services and Service from the Start programs for multi-year coverage, and will be available beginning in the first quarter of 2007 in select regions through Symbol and its PartnerSelect partners.
