Altitude Access Points

Thin and adaptive access points for campus-wide deployments, distributed worksites and remote branch offices

Altitude™ Access Points (APs) come in form factors designed for a wide variety of deployment needs--indoor or outdoor environments, high-density or high-interference zones, surface or hidden mounts, centralized or independent management. 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) saves installation time and capital expenses by eliminating separate power and data ports/cables, and power injectors and wiring; PoE also frees installers from being forced to locate APs near a power outlet. Plug-and-play installation and remote control greatly reduce the time needed to bring services online. To help eliminate network bottlenecks and system latencies, traffic can be bridged locally at the AP or tunneled to the controller. Sensorless scanning automatically detects unauthorized sessions and rogue devices.

The Altitude 3500 series APs come with powerful dual radios and 2x3 MIMO antenna arrays to maximize the performance of legacy 802.11a/b/g WLANs. The plenum-rated Altitude 3510 AP can be mounted discretely out-of-sight, behind ceiling or wall panels. The Altitude 3550 AP is encased in a rugged, NEMA 4X- housing for outdoor installations; weather kit, pole mounts and separate power supply are available as well.

The Altitude 4600 series APs offer a least-cost solution for deploying 802.11n into hard-to-wire locations and across distributed deployments. Available with single- and dual-radio form factors, these thin APs operate in controller-dependent mode only and must be adopted by a wireless switch, such as the Summit WM3000 series Controller.
