High Performance 802.11n Architecture for Next-Generation Mobility

The evolutionary adoption of 802.11n is not only logical, it will ultimately be the primary WLAN infrastructure standard as enterprises migrate toward converged high-speed wireless networks. Businesses will eventually need to upgrade their wireless infrastructure to accommodate the greater bandwidth and throughput capabilities of next-generation- applications, along with voice and IP-based solutions.

Next-Generation applications enabled by 802.11n:

VoIP and VoWLAN

  • Toll-quality voice over wireless
  • Seamless Fixed Mobile Convergence (FMC)

Wireless Video Distribution

  • Enterprise streaming video and video on demand
  • Clinical imaging
  • Wireless video surveillance
  • Consumer Electronics (e.g. YouTube)

High Performance Data

  • ERP and CRM systems
  • Network Attached Storage (NAS)
  • Wireless backhaul applications
  • Location-based services
  • Enterprise mobile communications

Bluesocket's next generation vWLAN™ is designed to fully utilize the expanded capacity and processing power of 802.11n technology through our BSAP-1800 and BSAP-184 802.11n Access Points.

Bluesocket was the first vendor to introduce an enterprise class MIMO AP and continuing this lead in MIMO technology, the BSAP-1800 is the first product with 2nd generation MIMO antenna technology, delivering customers market-proven performance and coverage advantages.

The BSAP-1800 includes two 11n-based radios, a custom embedded antenna array with options for external antennas and a GigE port to support dual concurrent 40Mhz streams to deliver market leading coverage and throughput.  The BSAP-1800 also supports the 802.3af power standard with a single-port Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) solution.

The BSAP-1840 also includes two 11n-based radios and adds external antenna capability for special deployment and antenna requirements. The BSAP-1840 supports the 802.3af power standard with a single-port Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) solution.
