Trapeze Mobility Point 372

Trapeze Mobility Point 372 ... quality of service (QoS) for vital applications, and seamless roaming. The MP also provides client access to a wide range of features on the Trapeze Mobility Exchange (MX WLAN switch.

Planning, configuring and deploying Trapeze MPs is simple. The Trapeze RingMaster tool suite automates the entire process. It determines how many MPs are needed, where they should be installed on a floor plan, generates configuration details for each MP, and creates a work order for installers.

Designed by Trapeze, these plenum-rated MPs intentionally resemble smoke detectors to minimize visibility. With no protruding "rabbit ears" and no obvious hallmarks of an AP, MPs are less likely to be tampered with. Trapeze MPs also feature a built-in Kensington locking system for added physical security.

Trapeze MPs are controlled by centrally located MXs throughout a Trapeze Mobility Domain APs have no local store of data so they can be safely installed in unsecured areas without fear of hacking or theft. Trapeze offers a safer alternative to access points (APs) that store vital network and user information.

The Trapeze MXs automatically configure MPs. At installation, no pre-configuration of any type is needed. If an MP needs to be replaced, the newly installed MP will automatically inherit the necessary MP configuration for that deployment from the MX.

Trapeze MPs play a key role in rogue and intrusion detection as well as denial-of-service (Dos) attack detection. ActiveScan allows MPs to fulfill a dual role. They continuously scan all 802.11 bands, channels and VLANs while simultaneously providing wireless connectivity to mobile clients. MPs can also act as dedicated sentries, providing nonstop scanning.

The Trapeze WLAN Mobility System lets you create policies that determine what, where and when RF countermeasures are launched. This prevents interfering with WLANs in adjacent businesses, while allowing scanning in areas of the WLAN that require policing and ensuring prompt corrective action if a rogue, intruder or Dos attack is detected.

When it comes to RF, Trapeze MPs take RF Auto-Tuning to where it should be - to the user. MPs automatically calculate the data integrity and signal strength of the WLAN channel and continually tune for optimal RF channel and transmit power.

Using intelligent queuing, Trapeze MPs enforce the prioritization of delay-sensitive voice and other critical applications. Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) or SpectraLink Voice Priority (SVP) can be configured to ensure optimal QoS for voice traffic. Policies allow per user, protocol or class-of-service (CoS) mapping. MPs always prioritize time-sensitive traffic, such as voice calls, over other traffic types.
