OVERVIEW
The 3Com
®
Wireless LAN Managed Access Point (MAP) 3950 is a high-
performance IEEE 802.11n full 3x3 Multiple-Input Multiple-Output
(MIMO) dual-radio managed access point delivering secure, reliable
voice-ready connectivity.

voice-ready connectivity.
An integral component of the 3Com Wireless LAN Mobility System,
the 3Com MAP 3950 with intelligent switching offers both centralized
and distributed data forwarding, 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

and distributed data forwarding, 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
®
and video distribution.
Managed 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
MAXIMUM WIRELESS COVERAGE AND RANGE
The MAP 3950 contains 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radios that operate
simultaneously, each featuring three radio transmit and three receive
chains. This 3x3 MIMO configuration provides increased range and
performance over implementations that utilize the standard 2x2 or
advanced 2x3 MIMO solutions.

The internal optimized gain pattern RF antennas help ensure the
outstanding coverage and range enhancements promised by 802.11n
technologies even in mixed-client mode environments.

MAXIMIZE CONNECTIVITY AND ENVIRONMENT FLEXIBILITY
Part of the 3Com Wireless LAN Mobility System, the MAP 3950 provides
“always-on” reliability. If any 3Com wireless controller or wireless switch
fails in the domain, failover to another controller or switch is seamless
and client connections are maintained. Data flow continues without any
service disruptions to voice and real-time video applications.
