Designed to address the wireless and wired connectivity needs of the small office or retail outlet, the AP 5131 provides a single-box solution that integrates all services required to extend secure broadband access to mobile users. With the ability to connect local users to a remote private network via a secured IPSec link, the AP 5131 is ideal for deployment in branch offices or at telecommuter sites for enterprise-class WLAN performance and secure connectivity of wired clients. The AP 5131 integrates a Router and DHCP Server for local LAN connectivity, a configurable stateful inspection firewall for LAN isolation, a VPN endpoint for secure backhaul connectivity, and a QoS Engine for superior performance of real-time video and voice applications. The AP 5131 is available in single or dual-radio configuration. The dual-band version is able to support simultaneous 802.11a and 802.11b/g data services up to 54 Mbps in both the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands, or a combination of data and full-band Rogue AP detection services. The single-radio version of the AP 5131, designed for deployments that require only one band of service, allows the administrator to select the band of operation, 802.11a or 802.11b/g, as a configuration parameter in the management interface.
