IdentiFi AP3715i/e Indoor Access Point
High Performance, Enterprise-Grade for Mission Critical Deployments
Sorry, this product is no longer available, please contact us for a replacement.
Overview:
The AP3715 is a high-performance 802.11abgn indoor access point purpose built for high-density deployments. This access point is designed to operate in heavyuser and mission critical environments such as healthcare facilities, universities, conference centers, arenas, and stadiums. Redundant data ports and multiple power options ensure that the 3715 provides always-on connectivity. This highperformance AP is equally adept at serving high-bandwidth video applications as well as low-latency voice applications. The AP3715i comes with an integrated six antenna array for ease of installation. The AP3715e requires professional installation and includes six RP-SMA antenna connectors supporting both 2.4GHz and 5GHz band antennas. This power efficient access point uses 802.3af power over Ethernet or an optional external power supply.
The AP3715 comes packed with the latest in Wi-Fi technology including dynamic radio management, spectrum analysis with interference classification, beamforming, selfforming and self-healing meshing, security, role-based authentication, authorization, and access control. The 3x3:3 platforms are capable of delivering 900Mbps over-the-air-performance and up to 60,000 packets per second on the wire port. Multiple antenna offerings (e.g., omni, sector, and panel) ensure that the AP3715e deployment can be optimized to meet any coverage or capacity need.
