BlueSecureTMAccess Points

Bluesocket’s family of next-generation Access Points are the perfect solution for

enterprises looking to deploy secure wireless networks. All BlueSecure Access Points

utilize dual-radio 802.11a/b/g standards-based technology which is certified by the Wi-Fi

Alliance to ensure inter-operability with your network. Whether you want to add wireless

to your office or light up an entire campus, indoors or outdoors, Bluesocket has an

Access Point to meet your needs.

BlueSecure Indoor Access Points

BlueSecureTMAccess Points are the next-generation, “thin” access point (AP) that works in
conjunction with BlueSecure Controllers for enterprise wireless LAN (WLAN) deployments.
The BlueSecure Access Point features dual radios supporting 802.11 a/b/g in a plenum-rated
housing with fixed omni-directional antennas (Model AP-1500) and optional external antennas
(Model AP-1540).

BlueSecure Access Points extend and complement the industry-leading, enterprise-class WLAN
security and management capabilities provided by BlueSecure Controllers. While providing
industry-standard radio and security functions, role-based policy management and universal
authentication functions are offloaded to centralized BlueSecure Controllers, making
BlueSecure APs cost-effective and simple to deploy and manage.

A Wi-Fi Certified, Centrally Managed WLAN Solution

BlueSecure Access Points have achieved Wi-Fi certification from the Wi-Fi Alliance, guarantee­ing interoperability with all client devices, and work in conjunction with all BlueSecure
Controller models to provide a high performance, centrally managed wireless LAN solution for
enterprises. BlueSecure Access Points automatically configure across any L2/L3 network using
the Bluesocket

®

Discovery Protocol. This allows easy upgrades when new features, capabilities or

standards emerge, and ensures longer life span without any physical intervention.

High Performance Wireless – Enterprise MIMO

Bluesocket’s new BlueSecure Access Point 1700 (BSAP-1700) is the first enterprise-class

802.11a/b/g Wi-Fi certified AP to use MIMO technology. This approach achieves more than
30 percent better range and overall performance, using your existing standard 802.11a/b/g
clients, than APs using legacy 802.11 technologies. The BSAP-1700 integrates a sophisticated
internal six antenna array— instead of the usual one or two antennas found in most APs—that
combines multiple signal paths to create one “super signal,” providing significantly better in­building wireless coverage.

Additionally, the BSAP-1700’s innovative modular design allows end users to easily upgrade
radio cards in the field to support 802.11n when the standard is formally ratified. This gives
enterprises the ability to deploy higher performance MIMO wireless technology today without
compromising inter-operability, requiring extensive network changes, or requiring “forklift”
replacement of deployed APs.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

} Enterprise MIMO

The BSAP-1700 is the first enterprise-class MIMO
Access Point, providing over 30% better range and
overall performance while working with your existing
standard 802.11a/b/g clients.

} Thin AP Providing 802.11a and 802.11b/g

User Access

Works with BlueSecure Controllers in a centralized
WLAN architecture for greater administrator control,
and improved system scalability and performance.

} Simplified Deployments

Simple “Zero-Config” deployment with configuration
provided by BlueSecure Controller:

• Bluesocket Discovery Protocol provides automatic
AP discovery over L2 and L3 networks.

• Automatic AP configuration download and
firmware upgrades over a secure IP connection.

• Layer 3 tunneling from the AP to the controller
means no need to touch your existing wired
infrastructure. Just place the access points wherever
you need wireless coverage.

• 802.3af Power over Ethernet support.

• Easy-to-install, blends in with ceiling tiles,
tamper-proof lock and mounting bracket.

} DynamicRF

TM

Automatic channel and power adjustment to avoid
noise, interference, coverage holes and AP failures
while providing load balancing and fast roaming.

} RF IDS

Built-in RF IDS means your WLAN is protected from
Rogue APs and wireless attackers.

} Voice Over WLAN

BlueSecure Access Points support the Wi-Fi alliance
WMM (802.11e) standard for prioritization of voice and
video over wireless networks. This allows administrators
to deploy voice, video and data traffic over a single
WLAN infrastructure.

BlueSecure Indoor Access Points cont’d.

Zero Touch, Plug-and-Play Deployment

BlueSecure Access Points are completely plug-and-play, requiring no manual configura-

tion. The Access Points can be directly attached to any existing Ethernet switch or IP

router, and across any subnet boundary. Once connected, BlueSecure Access Points

“auto-configure” by associating with a BlueSecure Controller. The BlueSecure Controller

automatically configures each BlueSecure Access Point based on the policies and

configuration set by the administrator. All Secure Mobility

®

roaming features are handled

centrally within the BlueSecure Controller. Network administrators can configure and

manage multiple WLAN Access Point deployments from a central location using

Bluesocket’s BlueView

TM

Management System.

Unmatched Security

Bluesocket delivers one of the most robust suites of standards-based security on the

market today on all of its enterprise-class BlueSecure Access Points and Controllers.

AP-specific security features include basic Wireless Equivalent Privacy (WEP) RC4 40/64-

bit, 128-bit and 152-bit shared-key encryption. Bluesocket strengthens this basic security

mechanism with additional security features, including local MAC authentication, 802.1x

port-based authentication, Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP), Wireless Protected

Access (WPA), and 802.11i (WPA v2) with multiple Extensible Authentication Protocol

(EAP) methods for user authentication such as PEAP, FAST, TTLS and TLS. Your wireless

link receives the highest available protection with Advanced Encryption Service (AES)-

encryption built into the Bluesocket hardware.

Several other “clientless” authentication and privacy methods are supported using

BlueSecure Controllers for ease-of-use and transparency, without compromising the level

of security deployed.

DynamicRF

TM

Bluesocket’s DynamicRF technology automatically adjusts the AP based on the wireless

environment to ensure optimal performance. DynamicRF constantly monitors the RF

spectrum for RF noise, interference, coverage holes, and optimizes power and channel

settings to maintain availability under all conditions. Should an access point fail or be

removed from service, Bluesocket APs utilize a self-healing algorithm to increase transmit

power in the surrounding APs, compensating for the gap in RF coverage. Additionally,

BlueSecure Access Points provide client load balancing and fast roaming (802.11i key

caching) to ensure the WLAN will support low latency applications such as VoIP.

RF IDS

Built-in RF IDS allows Bluesocket Access Points to find and contain Rogue APs that

threaten the security of your network. By scanning the airwaves, BlueSecure APs can

also detect and alarm on rogue clients, ad-hoc networks and a host of WLAN DoS

and spoofing attacks to extend your visibility into the RF spectrum.

BlueSecure Outdoor Access Point

The Bluesocket outdoor wireless bridge/AP utilizes 802.11a to support a point-to-point

or point-to-multipoint building-to-building bridge function, while simultaneously

using 802.11b/g to support wireless connection for outdoor user access. The outdoor

AP is designed with a rugged weatherproof housing, a durable mounting bracket,

includes weatherproof Ethernet and console cables, and a PoE power inserter.

Building to Building Bridging

Forget the expensive cables or private lines and link multiple buildings together using

industry-standard 802.11 Wi-Fi. The BSAP-1600 uses AES encryption to protect your

data as it passes over the air and with Bluesocket’s advanced antenna technology,

buildings can be up to 12 miles (20km) apart.

Outdoor Wireless Access

The BSAP-1600 can also be used to extend your organization’s Wi-Fi network to

outdoor locations for user access. Outdoor Wi-Fi networks can be as simple as

connecting users in a common outdoor area or as expansive as bridging the outdoor

network to cover a large-scale area, such as a hospital, college, or enterprise campus.

The BSAP-1600 can act as both a mobile user Access Point and a wireless bridge to

backhaul the traffic back to your Ethernet wired networks.
