The multifunction Dell
 PowerConnect
 W-AP104 and W-AP105 
are best selling indoor, dual-radio 802.11n access points (AP) 
designed for high-density deployments in offices, hospitals, schools 
and retail stores. These compact, high speed APs delivers wire-like 
performance at data rates up to 300 Mbps per radio. The W-AP 
Access Points and W-Series Controllers complement Dell’s existing 
PowerConnect portfolio of networking solutions, and securely 
and efficiently extend wired network capabilities to the mobile 
workforce.
The W-AP104 features two 2x2 MIMO dual-band 2.4-GHz/5-GHz 
radios with detachable antenna while the W-AP105 features the 
same radios with integrated internal antennas. Both are built 
to provide years of trouble-free operation and are backed by a 
extended lifetime warranty. 
Working with Dell’s line of centralized PowerConnect W Series 
Controllers, the W-AP104 and W-AP105 deliver secure, high-speed 
wireless network services for user mobility that works seamlessly 
within enterprise, branch and campus network deployments. 
802.11n enables the use of wireless as a primary connection with 
speed and reliability comparable to a wired LAN. It also increases 
performance by utilizing techniques such as channel bonding, 
block acknowledgement and MIMO radios. Advanced antenna 
technology also increases range and reliability.
Key to ensuring wire-like performance and reliability is Dell’s 
unique Adaptive Radio Management (ARM) capability, which 
manages the 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz radio bands to deliver maximum 
client performance. ARM enables mixed 802.11a, b. g and n 
clients to interoperate at the highest performance levels via band 
steering, airtime fairness between clients and mitigating channel 
interference between APs.
The multifunction W-AP104 and W-AP105 can be configured through 
the controller to provide wireless LAN (WLAN) access with part-
time air monitoring, dedicated air monitoring for wireless intrusion 
protection, Remote AP (RAP) functionality or secure enterprise mesh. 
The W-AP104 and W-AP105 features dual 100/1000 BASE-T Ethernet 
interfaces and operate from standard 802.3af Power-over-Ethernet 
(PoE) sources or a 12-volt DC power supply.
