PRODUCT BRIEF
Mobility Point MP-82
Fast Facts
The MP-82 is an enterprise-class 802.11n indoor
access point designed for high-density deploy-
ments that emphasize throughput capacity
over coverage. The MP-82 contains dual radios;
one operating in the 2.4 GHz band and one in
the 5 GHz band, with each radio supporting
2x3 operation (two transmit chains and three
receive chains).

To protect the customer’s investment in legacy
802.11 clients, and to ease the transition to
802.11n, the MP-82 is backwards compatible
with legacy 802.11a/b/g clients in both the 2.4
GHz and 5 GHz bands. With 6 built-in internal
antennas, the MP-82 provides omni-directional
coverage without unsightly and insecure “rabbit
ear” antennas.

Connectivity and Power Options
The MP-82 features one 10/100/1000 Ethernet
port operating in auto-negotiation mode in
order to seamlessly adapt to the Ethernet infra-
structure. To protect your investment in existing
PoE infrastructure, the MP-82 is designed to
allow full operation with existing standards-
based 802.3af PoE infrastructure. The MP-82
is also compatible with the newer high-power
802.3at PoE, but this is not required for full
operation.

Compliance and Security
The MP-82 is compliant with the IEEE 802.11n
Draft 2.0 standard, software upgradeable to
the final standard, and tested extensively for
interoperability with 802.11n clients and legacy
802.11 a/b/g clients. The MP-82 supports all
relevant encryption methods including WPA2
(Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 based on 802.11i),
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access), in both Enterprise
(802.1X) and Personal (pre-shared key) modes.
The MP-82 does not store data, encryption
keys or security credentials locally and poses no
security risk to the organization if stolen.

Compatibility
The MP-82 is compatible with all generations
of Trapeze Networks Mobility Exchange WLAN
controllers, and can be deployed without any
hardware upgrades to the installed base of
controllers.

Reliability
As part of the Smart Mobile system, the MP-82
features NonStop reliability. If a WLAN con-
troller fails, the AP will seamlessly failover to
another controller and maintain the wireless
networking session.

Installation
The MP-82 ships with a flexible mounting kit
that supports ceiling-mounted, wall-mounted,
and desktop-mounted deployment. Its aestheti-
cally-appealing enclosure is designed specifically
to blend into typical office environments, mini-
mizing attention to it’s function. Furthermore,
the MP-82 features a built-in Kensington lock
system for added physical security.

Special Smart Mobile Features
Smart Mobile distributed traffic forwarding can
be enabled in the MP-82, resulting in optimized
traffic flow, reduced latency, and enhanced
scalability. In addition to traditional access
point functionality, the MP-82 also serves as a
Mesh AP, or Wireless Distribution System (WDS)
Bridge to extend the reach of enterprise WLANs
where cabling can-not reach or is not desired.
