Multipurpose 802.11n Access Point
Reduces Mobile Access Costs
For small and medium-size enterprises,
lowering the costs of mobility capabilities
must be balanced with the need for a
secure and high-quality user experience. As
a component of the Brocade® HyperEdge™
Architecture, the Brocade Mobility 1220
Access Point (AP) adds site survivability and
controller-less operation to the strengths
of the Brocade Mobility 650 AP to meet
all of these needs while improving service
availability.
The intelligent Brocade Mobility 1220 uses
Distributed AP Forwarding to understand
and forward local traffic. This efficient

wireless architecture eliminates the need for
all data traffic to route to the wired network
core before reaching its destination. This
architecture is also ideal for the increased
AP bandwidth and performance demands
expected from the 802.11ac standard.
Designed to lower the cost of deploying
and operating a secure, reliable 802.11n
Wireless LAN (WLAN), this highly efficient
AP offers simultaneous WLAN access and
sensing, remote over-the-air help-desk
support, and the comprehensive, wireless
intrusion-prevention features that nimble
organizations require.
