Symbol Technologies, Inc., an enterprise mobility company, has unveiled the AP-5181 Access Point, a rugged enterprise-class access point designed to provide real-time access for mobile workers by securely and cost-effectively extending corporate networks beyond the office.
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 unit from windblown debris at velocities of up to 130 miles per hour. The dual-radio 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 networks 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 it maintains enterprise-level network protection, security, and manageability needed to support mobile applications."
The new 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 by the end of March in select regions through Symbol and its PartnerSelect partners.
