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.
