Tri-Radio 802.11n
Access Point Delivers Speed,
Resiliency, Security
Getting the most out of wireless
capabilities can lead many enterprises
to take on unnecessary complexity,
cost, and risk. From voice to video,
supporting multiple bandwidth-intensive
enterprise applications usually means
multiple access points, which can
siphon IT staff productivity, add new
operational expenses, and open the
door to lowered service expectations—
and even new security concerns.

services; and Power over Ethernet (PoE)
capabilities—eliminating the need to
purchase and manage multiple pieces
of equipment.

As a component of the Brocade®
HyperEdge™ Architecture, the Brocade
Mobility 7131 Access Point (AP) provides
enterprises and branch offices with key
functions—such as a wireless firewall;
