Outdoor 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) wireless access point
The multifunctional Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess® Stellar Outdoor
AP1360 series access points with 802.11ax technology enables
faster speeds, more capacity, and efcient airtime allocation
for clients on both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz Wi-Fi bands. This enables
Access Points to better service higher density of clients, deliver
more capacity for bandwidth hungry and latency sensitive voice
and video clients, and provide a dependable secure network
for IoT devices while increasing their battery powered lifespan.
The OmniAccess® Stellar WLAN brings unparalleled experience
for connectivity, coverage and performance for the modern IoT
connected Enterprise.
The 802.11ax high performance and rugged AP1360 series
models are designed to accommodate diverse growing capacity
needs of next generation Mobility & IoT enabled networks.

persistent moisture and precipitation, and industrial strength surge
protection. The AP1360 series models support maximum aggregate
data rate ~ 3Gbps (2.4Gbps in 5 GHz and 573Mbps in 2.4 GHz),
and to support this higher capacity the access point is powered
by Multigig Ethernet uplink. The AP1360 series models can be
connected to the network via SFP for long distance backhaul,
provides an additional downlink Ethernet interface for wired IoT
device endpoint connection, catering to varied deployment options
in today’s demanding outdoor environments.

802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) high efciency features
IEEE 802.11ax allows enterprises to deliver high performance wireless LAN services with increased
throughput, enabling more clients in dense environments and bringing power efciency to Internet
of Things (IoT) devices, while it remains fully backward compatible with existing 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac
deployments. The 802.11ax standard is a dramatic step forward in wireless LAN technology for all
organizations. Some of the key 802.11ax features enabled on OmniAccess Stellar AP1360 series are:
• Orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) enables more clients to simultaneously
operate in the same channel and thereby improving efciency, latency, and throughput. OFDMA can
concurrently address multiple clients in both directions downlink (DL) and uplink (UL), including full
37 OFDMA Resource Units (RUs). OFDMA is very effective in environments where there are many
devices with short frames demanding lower latency.
• Multi-user multiple input, multiple output (MU-MIMO) allows more data to be transferred at once
and enables an access point to handle a larger number of concurrent clients. This capability was
introduced with 802.11ac, but now with 802.11ax the multi-user performance can be concurrently
delivered in both directions downlink (DL) and uplink (UL).
• 1024 quadrature amplitude modulation mode (1024-QAM) boosting peak data-rates by as much as
25 percent.
• BSS Coloring improves spatial reuse in dense environments by providing a mechanism for color
coding different overlapping BSS’s, allowing more simultaneous transmissions.
• Extended Range (ER) provides increased coverage in scenarios where receiving side encounters high
path loss and channel delay spread, especially in outdoor environments.
• Target wake time (TWT) makes Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 6 devices more power efcient. This capability lets
client devices to sleep much longer, and wake up to less contention, extending the battery life of
smart phones, IoT sensors, and other devices.
• Transmit beamforming improves signal power resulting in signicantly higher rates at a given range.
Deliver enterprise grade security and scale with simplicity
OmniAccess Stellar enables a visionary distributed Wi-Fi architecture with centralized management and
policy control, enforcing security at every step starting at the network edge, and allowing unparalleled
scale in network capacity. This architecture is vital for enabling the next generation Digital Enterprise
that demands business agility, seamless mobility and secure IoT enabled infrastructure empowering
business transformation through continuous innovation.
OmniAccess Stellar provides enhanced security with WPA3, a new security standard for enterprise and
public networks, improving Wi-Fi security by using advanced security algorithms and stronger ciphers
in Enterprises including 192-bit security suite. Public spaces which provide open non-protected access,
can now provide encryption and privacy using OmniAccess Stellar, which supports a new security
standard Wi-Fi Enhanced Open based on opportunistic wireless encryption (OWE).
The access points can be deployed in three different modes, all through a single version of software
simplifying IT operations.

For mid to large scale Enterprises, Alcatel-Lucent OmniVista® provides secure plug and play of Access
Points for large scale deployment, with user friendly workows for wireless services and unied
access for end to end security. It comes with integrated unied policy authentication manager (UPAM)
which helps dene authentication strategy and policy enforcement for employees, guest management
and BYOD devices. The AP1360 series has built-in DPI technology providing real-time Application
Monitoring and enforcement capabilities. The network administrator can obtain a comprehensive view
of applications running in the network and apply adequate controls to optimize the performance of the
network for business-critical applications. OmniVista® provides advanced options for RF management,
wIDS/wIPS for intrusion detection and prevention, and heatmap for WLAN site planning. To further
simplify IT, the access points can be managed as one or more access point (AP) groups (a logical
grouping of one or more access points).
Cloud enabled with OmniVista Cirrus
The OmniAccess Stellar AP1360 series can be managed by Alcatel-Lucent OmniVista® Cirrus cloud
platform. OmniVista® Cirrus powers a secure, resilient and scalable cloud-based network management
platform. It offers hassle free network deployment and easy service rollout with advanced analytics
for smarter decision making. Offers IT friendly Unied Access with secure authentication and policy
enforcement for users and devices.
On Premise deployment with OmniVista® 2500
The OmniAccess Stellar AP1360 series can be managed from the Alcatel-Lucent OmniVista® 2500 on
premise Network Management System.
For small to medium size Enterprises, Wi-Fi Express a secure web managed (HTTPS) cluster deployment
The OmniAccess Stellar AP1360 series by default can operate in a cluster architecture to provide
simplied plug-and-play deployment. The access point cluster is an autonomous system that consists of a
group of OmniAccess Stellar APs which is managed by one AP elected as primary virtual manager. One AP
cluster supports up to 256 APs.
The access point cluster architecture ensures simplied and quick deployment. Once the rst AP is
congured using the conguration wizard, the remaining APs in the network will come up automatically
with an updated conguration. This ensures the whole network is up and functional within a few minutes.
The OmniAccess Stellar AP1360 series 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.
The W-Fi Express mode supports role based management access to the AP cluster which includes
Admin, Viewer and GuestOperator access. GuestOperator access simplies guest account creation and
management, and can be used by any non-IT person such as a front desk worker or receptionist. The
OmniAccess Stellar AP1360 series also supports a built-in customizable captive portal which enables
customers to offer secure and seamless guest access experience.
Quality of service for unied communication apps
The OmniAccess Stellar AP1360 series supports ne tuned, quality of service (QoS) parameters to
differentiate and provide appropriate QoS for each application such as voice, video and desktop sharing.
Application aware RF scanning avoids interruption of real-time applications.
