D-Link AirPremier 108AG Wireless Switch Access Point

DWL-8500AP Wireless Switching 108 AG Access Point is a high-performance wireless access device that provides up to 108Mbps transmission rates and flexible dualband wireless connectivity. The DWL-8500AP delivers concurrent wireless performance with maximum wireless signal rates in both frequency bands simultaneously. With dualband connectivity, two wireless networks are created both running at full bandwidth speeds, offering a significant increase in total network capacity. At the same time, the DWL-8500AP remains fully backward compatible with the 802.11b standard in the 2.4GHz frequency.

With transmission speeds of up to 108Mbps (Turbo mode) on both frequency bands, the DWL-8500AP is an ideal solution for bandwidth intensive WLAN application. In a typical working environment with multiple users accessing the network at the same time, the DWL-8500AP can operate at double times the throughput of regular 802.11g wireless LAN equipment.

For maximum coverage, the DWL-8500AP can be placed at out-of-the-way locations such as on a ceiling or a high wall, where AC outlets are inaccessible and providing power to these locations is difficult and expensive.

DWL-8500AP plays a key role in rogue detection. It continuously scans both frequency bands and their associated channels to root out rogues while simultaneously providing wireless connectivity to mobile clients. If a rogue is detected, the closest DWL-8500AP can launch RF counter measures by spoofing 802.11 control messages. This prevents clients from communicating, associating and authenticating with a rogue.
