Dell PowerConnect W-AP92 &
W-AP93 Access Points
The multifunction Dell™ PowerConnect™ W-AP92 and W-AP93
are entry-level indoor, single-radio 802.11n access points (APs)
designed for low-density deployments in oces, hospitals, schools
and retail stores. These compact, high-speed APs deliver wire-like
performance at data rates up to 300 Mbps. The W-AP Access Points
and W-Series Controllers complement Dell’s existing PowerConnect
portfolio of networking solutions, and securely and eciently extend
wired network capabilities to the mobile workforce.
The W-AP92 features a single 2x2 multiple input, multiple output
(MIMO) dual-band 2.4-GHz/5-GHz radio with external antennas
while the W-AP93 features the same radio with integrated internal
antennas. Both APs are built to provide years of trouble-free
operation and are backed by a one-year warranty.
Working with Dell’s line of centralized PowerConnect W Series
Controllers, the W-AP92 and W-AP93 deliver secure, high-speed
wireless network services for user mobility that works seamlessly
within enterprise, branch oce and campus network deployments.
802.11n enables the use of wireless as a primary connection with
speed and reliability comparable to a wired LAN. It also increases
performance by utilizing techniques such as channel bonding,
block acknowledgement and MIMO radios. Advanced antenna
technology also increases range and reliability.
Key to ensuring wire-like performance and reliability is the W-AP
Series unique Adaptive Radio Management (ARM) capability, which
manages the 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz radio bands to deliver maximum
client performance. ARM enables mixed 802.11a, b, g and n
clients to interoperate at the highest performance levels via band
steering, airtime fairness between clients and mitigating channel
interference between APs.
The multifunction W-AP92 and W-AP93 can be configured
through the controller to provide wireless LAN (WLAN) access with
part-time air monitoring, dedicated air monitoring for wireless IPS,
Remote AP (RAP) functionality or secure enterprise mesh. The
W-AP92 and W-AP93 each feature a 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet
interface and can operate from standard 802.3af power-overEthernet (PoE) sources or a 12-volt DC power supply.
