OVERVIEW

The 3Com

wireless LAN Managed Access Point (MAP) 3850 delivers

secure, voice-ready reliable connectivity for WLAN users. An integral

component of the 3Com Wireless LAN Mobility System, the 3Com MAP

3850 with intelligent switching offers both centralized and distributed

data forwarding, with the MAP automatically determining the best

alternative based on the requirements of the underlying application.

This allows it to support the most demanding wireless applications

indoors and outdoors, including Voice over Wi-Fi.

Fully controlled by a WLAN switch or controller with which it securely

communicates, the MAP contains no local data store for sensitive data,

eliminating the chance of information being compromised due to hacking

or theft. The end result helps reduce capital expenses and ongoing

administrative costs—all while keeping the wireless LAN secure.

KEY BENEFITS

PROVIDES VOICE-READY WIRELESS CONNECTIONS

Distributed forwarding in the 3Com Managed Access Point 3850 optimizes

traffic flow, reducing latency, while providing ultra high performance

and massive scalability. The MAP automatically calculates the data

integrity and RF signal strength of the wireless channel, continually

tuning it for optimal RF channel and transmit power, while enforcing

the prioritization of delay-sensitive voice and other critical applications.

Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) or SpectraLink Voice Priority (SVP) helps

ensure optimal QoS for voice traffic. Policies provide per user, protocol,

or class-of-service (CoS) mapping, while enhanced features such as Call

Admission Control can finely tune deployment of Voice over Wireless.

SIMPLIFIES CONFIGURATION, CONTROL AND OPTIMIZATION

With remote management, the arduous process of initially configuring

and deploying access points (APs) is vastly simplified because configuration

settings are centrally distributed for consistency and accuracy. And for

easier long-term management, any added MAPs inherit configuration

settings from their wireless switch or controller.

Automated network controls at the wireless switch improve coverage

and service by optimizing RF gain, assigning radio channels, balancing

traffic loads and monitoring the RF environment of all managed access

points with which it is associated.
