Trapeze Indoor Mobility Point MP-432

Trapeze Indoor Mobility Point MP-432 ... intelligent switching, which combines both centralized and distributed traffic forwarding based on the requirements of the underlying application.

The Trapeze Networks indoor MP-432 is a high performance 802.11n Multiple Input / Multiple Output (MIMO), dual radio access point. The MP-432 is the only enterprise-class 802.11n access point with built-in internal antennas to provide outstanding coverage and range enhancements without having to configure "rabbit ear" antennas.

The MP-432 is the only AP in the industry that features two 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports for redundant data connectivity and redundant Power over Ethernet (PoE). The Gigabit Ethernet ports run in auto-negotiation mode to seamlessly adapt to the Ethernet infrastructure.

As part of the Smart Mobile system, the MP-432 is the only 802.11n AP in the industry that features "Always On" reliability. If a WLAN controller fails for any reason, the AP will seamlessly failover to another controller and maintain the wireless networking session. Even a voice over Wi-Fi session will continue without interruption or dropping the voice call. With organizations relying upon their Wi-Fi network as their primary point of network connectivity, such redundancy and uptime service guarantees are quickly becoming mandatory.

The MP-432 can be mounted with the same mounting brackets used for legacy Trapeze Networks access points. The UL2043 rating of the MP-432 allows the access points to be placed above the ceiling tile in plenum areas regulated by municipal fire codes. Its enclosure design resembles a smoke detector to appear innocuous and minimize attention. The MP-432 does not store data, encryption keys or security credentials locally on the access point, and poses no security risk to the organization if stolen. A stolen MP-432 would be a useless inoperable device if not connected to an authorized network.

The MP-432 is simple to deploy and easy to manage. It supports any wireless networking service over Wi-Fi - data, voice and video. To enhance the quality of the connection, the MP-432 automatically calculates the integrity and RF signal strength of the wireless channel, continually tuning for the optimal RF channel and transmit power.

The MP-432 plays an important role in wireless intrusion detection systems and wireless intrusion prevention systems as well as denial-of-service attack detection and prevention.
