Buffalo Expands Wireless Offering With New Business-Class Wireless Access Points
New Enterprise-Class Wireless Access Points Offer Dual Band Operation with Power over Ethernet and a Host of Robust Features
AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Buffalo Technology, a global leader in the design, development and manufacturing of wired and wireless networking and network and direct attached storage solutions, today announced two new enterprise-class wireless access points, AirStation(TM) Pro 802.11n Gigabit Dual Band PoE Wireless Access Point and AirStation(TM) Pro 802.11n Gigabit Concurrent Dual Band PoE Wireless Access Point. Designed for professional deployments, these AirStation Pro wireless APs offer robust and secure dual band wireless networks with business-class features and the convenience of Power over Ethernet (PoE).
"The proliferation of wireless devices in professional settings has created a need for businesses to easily and securely expand their wireless networks as needed," said Matt Dargis, vice president of sales at Buffalo Technology (USA), Inc. "Buffalo's new AirStation Pro APs offer a cost-effective solution for businesses to deploy a robust wireless network with enterprise-grade security options."
Buffalo's AirStation Pro 802.11n Gigabit Dual Band PoE Wireless Access Point provides high performance 802.11n speeds and coverage, with selectable operation on one of two available bands, 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz. The AirStation Pro 802.11n Gigabit Concurrent Dual Band PoE Wireless Access Point offers simultaneous operation on two concurrent bands for greater networking capacity and flexibility. AirStation Pro wireless APs are designed for deployment in professional settings and offer users a lineup of business-class features:
-- Integrated Power over Ethernet (PoE): 802.11af PoE allows the device to
be powered without an AC power source for easy installation and
placement, even on high ceilings, drop ceilings, walls and other
locations where power may not be available. By using a PoE switch, users
can install the AP anywhere they can run an Ethernet cable.
-- Plenum-Rated Chassis: AirStation Pro APs feature plenum-rated chassis
and multiple mounting options for greater flexibility in installation
locations, enabling users to safely install these units above ceiling
tiles.
-- Multi-SSID / VLAN Tagging: Administrators can easily create multiple
SSIDs with different security passphrases for easy network segmentation
and added security. Network administrators can assign each SSID a VLAN
tag to specify what network access that SSID receives.
-- Wireless Distribution System: WDS allows users to easily extend coverage
of their wireless network by interconnecting multiple access points.
Easily bridge a WLAN spanning multiple buildings or expand coverage in a
home to hard to reach locations.
-- Removable Antennas: Easily add high gain antennas for longer range,
wireless bridging or backhaul solutions. AirStation Pro APs use
industry-standard RP-SMA connectors, compatible with readily available
third-party solutions.
-- 802.1X RADIUS Authentication Support: Provides enterprise-grade access
restrictions, helping to keep unauthorized users out. By moving
authentication to a backend RADIUS server, only specified and authorized
wireless devices are permitted to connect to the wireless network.
Pricing and Availability
-- AirStation Pro 802.11n Gigabit Dual Band PoE Wireless Access Point
WAPS-AG300H will be available in February 2013 at an estimated street
price of $179.99.
-- AirStation Pro 802.11n Gigabit Concurrent Dual Band PoE Wireless Access
Point WAPS-APG600H is available now at an estimated street price of
