The Enterasys Wireless solution optimizes distribution of the processing load between Access 
Points (APs) and wireless controllers to deliver exceptional performance while remaining easy 
to manage. Complex, time-sensitive functions such as QoS, encryption, policy enforcement, 
rate limiting, and dynamic channel selection are handled by the AP, while global functions 
like configuration, roaming, security management, and policy control are centralized at the 
wireless controller or the Enterasys Network Management Suite (NMS) console. Furthermore, the 
innovative Enterasys Wireless solutions-oriented architecture is able to determine how to forward 
traffic for the highest performance and reliability for each application. The result is a flexible and 
dependable WLAN infrastructure that can easily be leveraged to deploy VoWLAN and new high-
performance solutions such as HD video.

Enterasys Wireless Access Points are available in the  following models: 

•  AP3605 – dual radio 802.11a/b/g/n thin AP with internal dual-band antennas

•  AP3610/3620 – dual radio 802.11a/b/g/n thin APs with internal/external dual-band antennas

•  AP3630/3640 – dual radio 802.11a/b/g/n standalone indoor APs with internal/external dual-

band antennas

•  AP2605 – dual radio 802.11a/b/g thin AP with integrated antennas

•  AP2610/2620 – dual radio 802.11a/b/g thin APs with internal/external antennas

•  AP2630/2640 – dual radio 802.11a/b/g  standalone APs with internal/external antennas that 

can optionally be configured to operate in thin mode - Europe only

•  AP2650/2660 – dual radio 802.11a/b/g thin outdoor industrial APs with internal/ 

external antennas

Purpose-built to enable voice and HD video communications across the WLAN, the Enterasys 
Wireless dual radio, 3x3 MIMO 802.11n wireless access points can be powered by a standard 
IEEE 802.3af PoE port found on most switches that form today’s wired networking infrastructure
