Wave 2 access point

Multi-functional Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess®
Stellar AP1201H access point is a highly
versatile, and performance rich access point
providing operational simplicity and quality user
experience. The OmniAccess Stellar AP1201H
indoor WiFi access point provides high­performance Gigabit WiFi for in room applications
such as hotels, classrooms, dormitories, clinics,
remote/home ofce and more.

OmniAccess Stellar AP1201H

The efcient 802.11ac AP1201H access point supports a maximum concurrent data rate of 1.2 Gb/s
(867 Mb/s in 5 GHz and 300 Mb/s in 2.4 GHz), MU-MIMO and two spatial streams (2SS). They provide
simultaneous multicast data transmission to multiple devices, maximizing data throughput and
improving network efciency. The AP1201H offers Gigabit ethernet uplink, 3x Gigabit downlink and
one of which support 802.3af PSE to power to the attached device, one pair of RJ-45 passthrough port,
1USB 2.0 port for IoT appliance.

Featuring enhanced WLAN technology with RF Radio Dynamic Adjustment, a distributed control Wi-Fi
architecture, secure network admission control with unied access, making it ideal for enterprises of
all sizes demanding a simple, secure and scalable wireless solution.

Cloud enabled with OmniVista Cirrus

The AP1201H access points can be managed by Alcatel-Lucent OmniVista® Cirrus cloud platform.

OmniVista 2500 managed deployment

The AP1201H AP can be managed by Alcatel-Lucent OmniVista® 2500 on premise Network
Management System.

The access points are managed as one or more access point (AP) groups (a logical grouping of one or
more access points). OmniVista next generation management suite embeds a visionary controller­less architecture, providing user friendly workows for unied access together with an integrated
unied policy authentication manager (UPAM) which helps dene authentication strategy and policy
enforcement for employees, guest management and BYOD devices. OmniVista 2500 provides advanced
options for RF management, WIDS/WIPS for intrusion detection and prevention, and a heat map for
WLAN site planning.

Plug and Play: Secure Web managed (HTTPS) cluster deployment

The AP1201H by default operates in a cluster architecture to provide simplied plug-and­play deployment. The access point cluster is an autonomous system that can consist of a group
of OmniAccess Stellar APs and a virtual controller, which is a selected access point, for cluster
management. One AP cluster supports up to 64 APs.

The access point cluster architecture ensures simplied and quick deployment. Once the rst AP
is congured using the conguration wizard, the remaining APs in the network will come up
automatically with an updated conguration. This ensures the whole network is up and functional
within a few minutes.

The AP1201H also supports secure zero-touch provisioning with Alcatel- Lucent OXO Connect R2,
a mechanism by which all access points in a cluster will obtain bootstrap data securely from an
on-premise OXO Connect.

Integrated guest management

The AP1201H supports role based management access to the AP cluster which includes Admin, Viewer
and GuestOperator access. GuestOperator access simplies guest account creation and management,
and can be used by any non-IT person such as a front desk worker or receptionist. The AP1201H
access point also support a built-in customizable captive portal which enables customers to offer
unique guest access.

Quality of service for unied communication apps

The OmniAccess Stellar AP1201H access point support ne tuned, quality of service (QoS) parameters to
differentiate and provide appropriate QoS for each application such as voice, video and desktop sharing.
OmniAccess Stellar AP is 802.11e (WMM) compliant, also providing marking for RTP/SRTP sessions
which include Skype for business, Google Hangout etc.

RF management

Radio Dynamic Adjustment (RDA) technology automatically assigns channels and power settings,
provides DFS/TPC, and ensures that access points stay clear of all radio frequency interference (RFI)
sources to deliver reliable, high-performance wireless LANs. The OmniAccess Stellar AP1201H AP can
be congured to provide part-time or dedicated air monitoring for spectrum analysis and wireless
intrusion protection.
