Meru AP 150 Access Point
Easiest-to-deploy, centrally managed access point for enterprise-class Wi-Fi connectivity
AP 150
Key Product Benefits:
•
Easiest-to-deploy, enterprise class access point eliminates RF channel planning,significantly reducing costs
•
Multi-layered security options allow multiple applications and user groups
•
Centralized management helps lower operational expenses
•
Dual radios enable simultaneous support of 802.11a and 802.11b/g clients
Dual-radio, Tri-mode Access Point for
Small-to-Medium Enterprise Networks
The Meru AP 150 Access Point delivers secure, highperformance Wi-Fi connectivity for small-to-medium enterprise deployments such as remote offices, branch offices, retail locations, and K-12 campuses. The AP 150 is a part of the Meru Wireless LAN (WLAN) System, which consists of coordinated Meru access points at the edge and centralized Meru controllers for management, security, and coordination for over-the-air reliability and Quality of Service
(QoS). The Meru AP 150 also comes standard with best-inclass security, basic Voice over WLAN (VoWLAN) support, and reliability essential for enterprise-class Wi-Fi connectivity.
For customers planning new installations or adding capacity and coverage to existing WLANs, the AP 150 is the easiestto-deploy access point (AP) in its class. As with the Meru
AP 200 Access Point, the AP 150 is a plug-and-play device that needs no configuration and no complex RF channel planning. Centralized configuration with Meru controllers and RF coordination provided by Meru Air Traffic Control™ technology eliminates these costly installation steps.
• No security information contained within access point
• Operates only with Meru controllers
• Multiple static or automatic security zones with individual security policies help ensure separation of different user groups or dynamic VLAN assignments per user based on Radius credentials – includes guest access security zone
• Can double as an RF scanner to be used with Wireless
Intrusion Detection & Prevention (W-IPS) systems
Centralized RF Management Lowers
Operational Costs
Post-installation maintenance and help-desk costs are some of the challenges for IT organizations. Meru reduces management complexity with its E(z)RF™ Application Suite.
Meru E(z)RF is a centralized management tool that enables network administrators to remotely manage Meru APs and controllers.
• Centralized dashboard to monitor and troubleshoot the entire WLAN – including all AP 150 APs
• Graphical view of performance and coverage parameters to better visualize the RF footprint of each AP 150
• Central template-based configuration of all Meru controllers and AP 150 access points
Zero-Configuration Design Streamlines
Installation and Reduces Costs
Installing a new wireless edge device in the ceiling can be expensive due to the high labor costs associated with configuring the network and access points. The AP 150 access points along with the centralized Meru WLAN architecture is designed to solve this problem. Because the AP
150 requires zero configuration, installation is a simple plugand-play procedure, which greatly reduces time and costs.
Additional Meru AP 150 configuration benefits include:
• Automatic AP discovery and configuration
• No channel planning required with single channel installations
• Intelligent load balancing of clients
• No need to extend VLAN trunks to the edge—done centrally at the controller in the distribution layer or core layer
• IEEE 802.3af PoE (Power over Ethernet) support to leverage existing infrastructure to power edge devices
High-performance, Tri-mode Access Point
Provides Investment Protection
As enterprise applications and user density continue to increase, and 802.11a/b/g clients are now commonplace in laptops, the Meru AP 150 ensures that your network supports the full breadth of WLAN clients.
• Dual 802.11a and 802.11b/g radios
• Simultaneous support for 802.11a, 802.11b, and
802.11g clients
• Co-channel interference management for reliable
WLAN access
• Basic VoWLAN QoS support for small density deployments of voice clients
Multi-Layered Security Approach OffersGreater
Network Protection
To help deliver greater security for the WLAN, Meru APs go beyond the basic over-the-air protections by providing multilayered security policies.
• Local and RADIUS MAC Filtering
• WPA2, WPA, 802.1x, and WEP
Access Point Design Integrates Readily into
Enterprise Deployments
Broad scale deployment of a WLAN requires access points to work with the existing environment. The AP 150 access points along with the Meru WLAN System architecture are designed with the enterprise in mind.
• Layer 2 or 3 connectivity for flexible deployment options
• Locking mechanism to secure AP when mounted in public areas
