Zebra AP6521

  • Zebra AP6521

VERSATILE SINGLE RADIO 802.11 A/B/G/N WIRELESS ACCESS POINT

The AP 6521 is a multipurpose access point designed to lower the cost of deploying and operating a secure, reliable 802.11n wireless LAN (WLAN) in branch offices or headquarters facilities. The access point features a MIMO radio, superior receive and transmit sensitivity, and a GigE WAN uplink port. The embedded WiNG 5 intelligence ensures that traffic is locally forwarded along the most efficient paths without sacrificing quality of service and security implemented at the access point itself. The AP 6521 can also be used as a sensor for both 2.4 Ghz and 5.0 Ghz frequency bands for multi-band intrusion protection or troubleshooting.

  • Application Support

    Supports Call Admission Control, for optimized VoWLAN performance, as well as video streaming and data throughput for 802.11 a/b/g/n clients

  • AUTOMATIC CHANNEL AND POWER OPTIMIZATION

    Common problems such as building attenuation, electronic interference or sub-optimal access point placement are minimalized as the SMART RF feature of the switch/controller automatically optimizes power and channel selection so each user gets always-on high-quality access and mobility.

  • Full 802.11n performance with standard 802.3af

    Simplifies and reduces total cost of installation using standard Power-over- Ethernet (PoE)

  • GAP-FREE SECURITY

    Security includes layer 2-7 stateful packet filtering firewall, AAA RADIUS services, Wireless IPS-lite,VPN gateway, and location-based access control.

  • HIGH RELIABILITY

    The AP 6521 is designed to optimize network availability through its central and pre-emptive intelligence which dynamically senses weak or failing signals, securely moves mobile users to alternate APs, and boosts signal power to automatically fill RF holes and ensure uninterrupted mobile user access.

  • LESS IS MORE

    Zebra’s WiNG 5 WLAN solutions offer all the benefits of 11n—and then some. Our distributed architecture extends QoS, security and mobility services to the APs so you get better direct routing and network resilience. That means no bottleneck at the wireless controller, no latency issues for voice applications, and no jitter in your streaming video. And with our broad selection of access points and flexible network configurations, you get the network you need with less hardware to buy. Let us show you the less complicated, less expensive way to more capacity, more agility, and more satisfied users.

  • Mobility

    Supports fast secure roaming

  • Security

    This unique multi-purpose device can execute and enforce the IDS/IPS security policies configured in the Zebra wireless switch, and can also be utilized as a 24×7 dedicated sensor with Wireless IPS from WLAN Security Services
