In enterprise headquarters, branch offices, or campus networks, the HP 802.11n Access Point Series is an outstanding choice for secure, reliable radio-based connections. These WLAN access points extend mobile access to wired networks, broadening system capacity and providing seamless integration between wired and wireless networks. The single-radio dual-band HP WA2612 and WA2610E Access Points use the 2.4 or 5 GHz band; the dual-radio dual-band WA2620E and WA2620 access points operate simultaneously on both bands. All of the APs support IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n, and offer data rates up to 300 Mbps when using the 802.11n standard.

Management

• Centralized access point management: if the WA2600 series access point is used with an AC, most of management and data frames are processed by the AC; the AC controls all Fit APs by using the AP-AC tunnel protocol so that the status of all devices can be clearly known; compared to a traditional Fat AP, a Fit AP and an AC greatly help system administrators manage the whole network


Connectivity

• Auto Channel Select (ACS): helps reduce radio co-channel interference by automatically selecting an unoccupied radio channel


Performance

• High throughput: the WA2600 wireless APs are compatible with latest IEEE 802.11n standard; the single-radio APs support wireless access rates as much as 300 Mbps, which is six times more than that of the traditional IEEE 802.11a/b/g products


Security

• Secure user isolation: virtual AP services enable the network administrator to provide specific services for different user groups, improving bandwidth and system resources, and simplifying network maintenance and management


Ease of use

• Ease of deployment: management via the wireless controller eliminates the need to manage each AP individually


Technical features

• Radio technology: IEEE 802.11a/n and 802.11g/n standards enable high-speed access from IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n clients at data rates up to 300 Mbps and cover a wide coverage area


Warranty and support

• 1-year warranty: with advance replacement and 30-calendar-day delivery (available in most countries)
