IdentiFi AP3825 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 AP3825 is a high-performance 802.11ac and 802.11abgn indoor access point purpose built for high-density deployments. This access point is designed to operate in heavy-user and mission critical environments such as healthcare facilities, universities, conference centers, arenas, and stadiums. Active/active data ports and multiple power options ensure that the AP3825 provides always-on connectivity. This high-performance access point is equally adept at serving high-bandwidth video applications as well as low-latency voice applications. The AP3825i comes with an integrated six antenna array for ease of installation. The AP3825e requires professional installation and includes six RP-SMA antenna connectors supporting both 2.4GHz and 5GHz band antennas. Unique to this class of access point, the power efficient AP3825 uses 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) without reducing its performance nor degrading its enterprise-grade capabilities. An optional external power supply is available for deployments that do not support Power over Ethernet.
The AP3825 is built on the newest Wi-Fi technology including 802.11ac, dynamic radio management, and spectrum analysis with interference classification, beam forming, self-forming and self-healing meshing, security, role-based authentication, authorization, and access control. The 3x3:3 platform is capable of delivering 1.75Gbps over-the-air-performance and up to 75,000 packets per second on the wire port. The use of a dual core CPU and a network co-processor for offloading frame processing ensures that there are no bottlenecks in the data path when packets are processed through the slow path from the air-to-the wire. Multiple antenna offerings (e.g., omni, sector, and panel) ensure that the AP3825e deployment can be optimized to meet any coverage or capacity need.
