including radios, mobility, security, and QoS
|
Outstanding investment
protection, faster ROI and lower TCO; eliminates
forklift upgrade to support new standards or
expand infrastructure |
| Automatic Channel
Selection (ACS): Automatic selection of
the best channel based on noise and signal
properties |
Reduces installation costs
by eliminating the need for manual configuration
of Access Ports |
