PROVIDES ENTERPRISE-WIDE FLEXIBILITY
The 3Com Mobility System can be deployed on any existing
Layer 2 or Layer 3 LAN topology with no backbone or
hardware reconfiguration required. Wireless controllers or
switches and associated MAPs can reside anywhere in the
network, separated by Layer 2/Layer 3 devices. The system
can operate as an integrated infrastructure, making it easy to
scale or change as business needs dictate.

The WX2200 controller comes configured to support 24 MAPs
and is expandable in increments of 24 MAPs with support of
up to 192 active and 768 configured MAPs per controller. The
WX1200 switch supports up to 12 active and 48 configured
MAPs and the WXR100 switch supports up to three active and
16 configured MAPs. All three devices can be mixed and
matched together within a scalable network domain to enable
management and control of over 32,768 switches and
controllers with almost 4 million access points distributed
over large geographic territories.

3Com wireless controllers and switches already support
future wireless LAN capabilities such as wireless IP telephony
(VoWiFi) and can be kept current with developing standard
releases by downloadable firmware upgrades.

FLEXIBLE EXTENDED WIRELESS NETWORK
In addition to traditional access point functionality, the AP
3850 and AP 3950 can also serve as an IEEE 802.11s mesh AP,
mesh point, mesh portal, or WDS bridge to other AP 3850/
3950s, extending the reach of enterprise WLANs. The MAP
supports this in either point-to-point or point-to-multipoint
topologies, allowing maximum flexibility within a mesh or
bridged environment.

The AP 3850/3950 can be configured with one radio for client
services and the other for mesh service. The AP can also be
used in a dedicated bridging mode, to provide seamless
connectivity between buildings without the expense of laying
new cable.
